A tourist purchases a car in England and ships it home to the United States. The car sticker advertised that the car鈥檚 fuel consumption was at the rate of 40 miles per gallon on the open road. The tourist does not realize that the U.K. gallon differs from the U.S. gallon:

1U.K.gallon=4.5460900liters

1U.S.gallon=3.7854118liters

For a trip of 750 miles (in the United States), how many gallons of fuel does (a) the mistaken tourist believe she needs and (b) the car actually require?

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. The amount of fuel that the tourist mistakenly believes she needs is 18.8 gallons (as per the UK system).

  2. The amount of fuel that the tourist鈥檚 car actually takes is 22.5 gallons (as per the US system).

Step by step solution

01

Given data

The trip of tourist is750miles(in the US).

Fuel consumption rate of the car is40gallonspermile

1U.K.gallon=4.5460900liters

1U.S.gallon=3.7854118liters

02

Understanding the Understanding the relationship between U.K. gallon and U.S. gallon.

In this problem the ratio of the 1 U.K. gallon and the 1 U.S. gallon can be found to measure the amount of fuel.

1U.K.gallon=4.5460900liter1U.S.gallon3.78liter

1U.K.gallon=1.2u.s.gallon

03

(a) Determination of the amount of fuel that the tourist mistakenly believes she needs

Amount of fuel consumed by car for the trip is(ActualdistanceFuelconsumptionrateofcar)

The tourist travels750milesby car that has fuel consumption capacity as40gallonspermile.

So, the amount of fuel that the tourist believes she needs is,

ActualdistanceFuelconsumtionrateofcae=75040=18.75gallon=18.8gallons(InU.K.)

04

(b) Determination of the amount of fuel in US Gallons that the tourist’s car actually takes

As you know the relation between U.S. Gallon and U.K. Gallon, you can find the amount of fuel that the tourist actually requires for a trip in U.S Gallon.

1U.K.gallon=1.2U.S.Gallon18.75UKGallon=18.75UKGallon1.2U.S.Gallon1UKGallon=22.5U.S.Gallons

Thus, the car actually takes 22.5U.S.Gallons.

Question: Antarctica is roughly semicircular, with a radius of 2000 km (Fig. 1-5). The average thickness of its ice cover is 3000 m. How many cubic centimeters of ice does Antarctica contain? (Ignore the curvature of Earth.)

Figure 1-5Problem 9

One cubic centimeter of a typical cumulus cloud contains 50 to 500 water drops, which have a typical radius of 10 碌m. Forthat range, give the lower value and the higher value, respectively, for the following. (a) How many cubic meters of water are in a cylindrical cumulus cloud of height 3.0 km and radius 1.0 km? (b) How many 1-liter pop bottles would that water fill? (c) Water has a density of1000kg/m2. How much mass does the water in the cloud have?

Suppose that, while lying on a beach near the equator watching the Sunset over a calm ocean, you start a stopwatch just as the top of the Sun disappears. You then stand, elevating your eyes by a height H = 1.70 m, and stop the watch when the top of the Sun again disappears. If the elapsed time is t = 11.1 s, what is the radius r of Earth?
