Chapter 1: Q9E (page 1)

A certain fuel-efficient hybrid car gets gasoline mileage of 55.0 mpg (miles per gallon). (a) If you are driving this car in Europe and want to compare its mileage with that of other European cars, express this mileage in km/L 1L = liter2. Use the conversion factors in Appendix E. (b) If this car鈥檚 gas tank holds 45 L, how many tanks of gas will you use to drive 1500 km?

Short Answer

Expert verified

Given-

Mileage of car is 55.0 mpg

The tank holds 45L of fuel

Step by step solution

01

Step1- conversion which are required in solving this problem

We know that

1mi=1.609km

And 1gallon=3.785liters

Convert 55.0miles/gallon to kilometer /liters

55.0miles/gallon =55.0miles/gallon(1.609km/1mile)x(1gallon/3.785liters)

55.0miles/gallon=55.01.6093.785km/L

55.0miles/gallon=23.4km/L

Thus , the mileage is 23.4km/L

02

Step2(Calculation of capacity of tank)

From the mileage we know that distance is 23.4km for 1L

So for 1500km we need.

23.4kl45L=1500kmxX=1500km1L23.4kmX=64.1L

The car has a tank with capacity 45L.

03

Step 3( Calculation of number of tank required-)

Solve for number of tanks

1tank45L=y64.1Ly=64.11tank45Ly=1.42tanks

Thus, tanks of gas used to cover 1500km is1.42tanks

04

Step 4-(Conclusion)-

After comparison with European car mileage is=23.4Km/L

Capacity of Tank is 45Liters

Number of Tanks used 1.42

A Fast Pitch. The fastest measured pitched baseball left the pitcher鈥檚 hand at a speed of 45.0m/s. If the pitcher was in contact with the ball over a distance of1.50mand produced constant acceleration, (a) what acceleration did he give the ball, and (b) how much time did it take him to pitch it?

Hot Jupiters. In 2004 astronomers reported the discovery of a large Jupiter-sized planet orbiting very close to the star HD鈥�179949 (hence the term 鈥渉ot Jupiter鈥�). The orbit was just19 the distance of Mercury from our sun, and it takes the planet only3.09days to make one orbit (assumed to be circular). (a) What is the mass of the star? Express your answer in kilograms and as a multiple of our sun鈥檚 mass. (b) How fast (in km>s) is this planet moving?

Water flows steadily from an open tank as in Fig. P12.81. The elevation of point 1 is 10.0 m, and the elevation of points 2 and 3 is 2.00 m. The cross-sectional area at point 2 is 0.0480 m2; at point 3 it is 0.0160 m2. The area of the tank is very large compared with the cross-sectional area of the pipe. Assuming that Bernoulli鈥檚 equation applies, compute (a) the discharge rate in cubic meters per second and (b) the gauge pressure at point 2.

Given two vectors A鈫�=4.00i^+7.00j^ and B鈫�=5.00i^鈭�7.00j^, (a) find the magnitude of each vector; (b) use unit vectors to write an expression for the vector difference A鈫�鈭�B鈫�; and (c) find the magnitude and direction of the vector difference A鈫�鈭�B鈫�.
