Textbook Question
Chapter 5, Problem 19SEQ
Explain all answers clearly, with complete sentences and proper essay structure if needed. An asterisk (*) designates a quantitative problem, for which you should show all your work.
Experiment: Planetary Cooling in a Freezer. To simulate the cooling of planetary bodies of different sizes, use a freezer and two small plastic containers of similar shape but different size. Fill each container with cold water and put both in the freezer at the same time. Checking every hour or so, record the time and your estimate of the thickness of the “lithosphere” (the frozen layer) in two tubs. How long does it take the water in each tub to freeze completely? Decribe in a few sentences the relevance of your experiment to planetary geology. Extra credit: Plot your results on a graph, with time on the x-axis and lithospheric thickness on the y-axis. What is the ratio of the freezing times?

- Read each problem carefully. Solve each quadratic equation for the variable(s) specified. Be sure to show all of your work. Explain in two to three sentences what the meaning of the solution(s) are in relation to the problem situation. A rubric has been provided for reference. 1. An object is propelled off of a platform that is 75 feet high at a speed of 45 feet per second (ft./s). The height of the object off the ground is given by the formula h(t) = - 16t+45t+75, where h(t) is the object's height at time (t) seconds after the -16 object is propelled. The downward negative pull on the object is represented by Solve for t.arrow_forwardInstructions: Your task is to create a model in response to the prompts in the question below. Be sure to apply a model from this class and include the relevant diagram(s) for that model. And don’t forget to use the Claim, Evidence, Reasoning framework to present your solution. Phenomenon: Runaway Truck Ramp A truck was driving on a highway at 30 m/s when its brakes gave out. The driver steered it onto a “runaway truck ramp”, consisting of an upward ramp (rising 12 meters vertically over 120 meters horizontally), and ending with a compressible barrier which you can model as a giant spring with spring constant “k”. The compressible barrier can be compressed by a maximum 0.5 meters before it stops working. Graphic attached Values: Mass of the truck: 20 metric tons (1 metric ton = 1000kg). Mass of the driver: Choose a reasonable value. Truck Ramp Dimensions: 12 meters vertical, 120 meters horizontal Spring constant k= 6.0 x 107 J/m2.

- Answer Activity in a separate paper. Show the solution for every answer (for problem solving ones only). In presenting solution, it should be in the same sequence as the asked problem. Avoid too many erasures (to prevent this, solve first in a scratch paper and after finalizing, transfer it to the final paper for submission). Box your final answer with appropriate units. Retain 3 decimal places for intermediate value calculation. Not following instruction means a corresponding point deduction. 1.

It is difficult to extinguish a fire on a crude oil tanker, because each liter of crude oilreleases 2.80×10^7 J of energy when burned. To illustrate this difficulty, calculate thenumber of liters of water that must be expended to absorb the energy released byburning 1.00 L of crude oil, if the water has its temperature raised from 20.0ºC to 100ºC,it boils, and the resulting steam is raised to 300ºC.b.
