Homework Statement While running up stairs at a (vertical) rate of 0.30 m/s, a man of 70 kg generates waste heat at a rate of 1300 J/s. What efficiency for the human body can you deduce from this? Homework Equations efficiency of heat...

Homework Statement The volume of a gas is decreased by a constant external pressure of 0.25 atm, changing from 2.0 liters to 0.50 liters. During this compression, 75 J of energy flows out of the gas. Find the work done by the gas and its change in internal energy. Homework Equations...

Homework Statement An oxygen cylinder for medical use contains oxygen at a pressure of 140 atm, at room temperature (20\circC). The cylinder measures 20 cm in diameter and 110 cm in length. How many kilograms of oxygen does this cylinder contain? What will be the volume of the oxygen if it...

Finding the rms speed of hydrogen Homework Statement The rms speed of nitrogen molecules in air at some temperature is 493 m/s. What is the rms speed of hydrogen molecules in air at some temperature? Homework Equations root-mean-square speedvrms= \sqrt{v2}=\sqrt{\frac{3kT}{m}}...

Homework Statement Suppose that a zone of low atmospheric pressure (a "low") is at some place on the surface of the sea. The pressure at the center of the "low" is 64 mm-Hg less than the pressure at a large distance from the center. By how much will this cause the water level to rise at the...

Ok I got the right answer now. Thank you.
