1.

A car is traveling at a speed of 38 m/s on a highway where the speed


limit is 75 mi/h. Is the driver exceeding the speed limit? Justify your
answer.
v= 38m/s
Convert to mph
v= 38(0.001) km

(1/3600) h

v= 38(0.001) (1/1.609) mi

(1/3600) h

v=85.0 mi/h yes, the driver exceeding the speed limit 75 mi/h cause
it travels 85.0 mi/h.

2. A certain car has a fuel efficiency of 25 miles per gallon (mi/gal).


Express this efficiency in kilometer per liter (km/L).

e= (25mi/gal) (1km/0.621mi) (1gal/3.786L)

e=10.6km/L
3. The diameter of a sphere is measured to be 5.36 inches. Find the a)
the radius of the sphere in centimeters, b) the surface area of the
sphere in square centimeters and c.) the volume of the sphere in cubic
centimeters.

a. r=d/2 =5.36in/2

r=2.68in x 2.54/1in

r= 6.81cm

b. A= 4πr^2=4(2.54in) ^2=90.3in^2 (2.54cm/1in) ^2= 582.78cm^2


c. V=4/3πr^3= 4/3π (2.54) ^3=80.6in^3 (2.54cm/1in) ^3 =
1320.8cm^3

4. A house is 50 ft long and 26 ft wide and has 8 ft ceiling. What is the


volume of the interior of the house in cubic meters and cubic
centimeters?

V= lxwxh l=50ft w=26ft h=8ft

V= 50x26x8=10400ft^3

10400ft^3⋅ (0.3048m) ^3)/ (1ft^3) =294.49m^3

10400ft^3⋅ (30.48m) ^3) / (1ft^3) =294.49 x 10^6 cm^3


5. One gallon of paint (volume = 3.79 x 10^-3 m^3) covers an area of 25
m^2. What is the thickness of the fresh paint in the wall?

V= ta t=? A=25 v=3.79x 10^-3m^3

T=v/a

T= 3.79x 10^-3m^3/25 = 1.516x10^-4m

6. One cubic centimeter (1cm3) of water has a mass of 1 x 10^-3 kg. a)


Determine the mass of 1 m3 of water. Assuming the biological
substance is 98 % water, estimate the masses of b) a cell with diameter
of 1.0 µm c.) a human kidney and d) a fly. Take a kidney to be roughly a
sphere of with a radius of 4.0 cm and a fly roughly a cylinder of 4.0 mm
long and 2.0 mm in diameter.

Volume of water, V=1.0 cm3

Mass of water, m=1.0×10^−3 kg

ρ=m/V
a. 1000 kg/m^3×1.0 m^3

1000 kg/m3×1.0 m3

1000kg

[1 μm=10−6 m]

b. Vc=4/3πr^3 c

=4/3×π×(dc/2) ^3

=5.23×10^−19 m^3

mc=ρ×Vc
= 1000 kg/m^3×5.23×10^−19 m^3

= 5.23×10^−16 kg

c. Vk=4/3πr^3k

= 4/3×π× (4.0×10^−2 m) ^3

= 2.68×10^−4 m^3

mk=ρ×Vk
=1000 kg/m^3×2.68×10^−4 m^3

=0.268 kg

d. Vf=π/4×d^2f×h

=1.256×10^−8 m3

mf=ρ×Vf

=1000 kg/m^3×1.256×10^−8 m3

= 1.25×10^−5 kg

7. A container has volume of 3.72 m3 Express the volume in a) US


gallon, b) British Gallon, c.) liters, d.) fluid ounces.

V=3.72m^3

a. 1m^3=264.172 us gal

V=3.72m^3 x 264.172us gal/1m^3

V= 982.7198 us gal
b. 1m^3=219.962 British gal

V= 3.72m^3 x 219.962 British gal/1m^3

V= 818.285 British gal

c. 1m^3=1000L

V= 3.72m^3 x 1000L/1m^3

V= 3720 L

d. 1m^3= 33814fluid ounces

V= 3.72m^3 x 33814fluid ounces/1m^3

V= 125788.08 fluid ounces
