In Section 9.8, we discussed the path of an object that is dropped from a very tall stepladder above the equator. (a) Sketch this path as seen from a tower to the north of the drop and fixed to the earth. Explain why the object lands to the east of its point of release. (b) Sketch the same experiment

Five percent excess air is used in burning the reformer fuel; it is drawn into the system at 30C and 70% relative humidity. Estimate the average molecular weight of the air. Why does it differ from the value of 29 determined in Example 3.3-4 even though the ratio of nitrogen to oxygen is the same? De

Assortative mating. Assortative mating is a nonrandom mating pattern where individuals with similar genotypes and/or phenotypes mate with one another more frequently than what would be expected under a random mating pattern. Researchers studying this topic collected data on eye colors of 204 Scandina

The government has decided that the free-market price of cheese is too low.a.Suppose the government imposes a binding price floor in the cheese market. Draw a supply-and-demand diagram to show the effect of this policy on the price of cheese and the quantity of cheese sold. Is there a shortage or sur

A flat piece of glass covers the top of a vertical cylinder that is completely filled with water. If a ray of light traveling in the glass is incident on the interface with the water at an angle of ua = 36.2, the ray refracted into the water makes an angle of 49.8o with the normal to the interface. W

Most of the remaining water in washed laboratory glassware can be removed by rinsing the glassware with acetone (propanone). Explain how this process works (acetone is much more volatile than water).
