Au-shaped tube is open at both ends (see figure next page). the tube initially has some water in . an amount of a second liquid, which is immiscible with water, is poured into one arm of the tube. once the arrangement comes to equilibrium, the top of the water in the tube stands 16.6 cm above the interface between that liquid and the water (which is at level a in the diagram). the top of the water column in the other arm is 3.32 cm above

Astone weighing 1.5 kilograms is resting on a rock at a height of 20 meters above the ground. the stone rolls down 10 meters and comes to rest on a patch of moss. the gravitational potential energy of the stone on the moss is joules.

The magnitude of the amount of energy released by burning a fuel source, measured in energy per unit mass, is called its fuel value. note that the fuel value is the negative of the isobaric specific heat of combustion for the fuel. if all the energy obtained from burning 1.23 pounds of butane with a fuel value of 10.85 kcal/g is used to heat 128.0 kg of water at an initial temperature of 18.3 °c, what is the final temperature? note that 1 lb = 453.6 g.

One hazard of space travel is debris left by previous missions. there are several thousand masses large enough to detect by radar orbiting the earth, but there are far greater numbers of very small masses such as flakes of paint. calculate the force exerted by a 0.110 mg chip of paint that strikes a space shuttle window at a relative speed of 5.00 ✕ 103 m/s and sticks, given the collision lasts 6.00 ✕ 10-8 s. such a collision chipped the window of the ill-fated challenger in june 1983, causing $50,000 of damage.
