The maximum flow rate of a standard shower head is about 3.4 gpm (12.9 l/min) and can be reduced to 2.75 gpm (10.5 l/min) by switching to a low-flow shower head that is equipped with flow controllers. consider a family of four with each person taking a 6-minute shower every morning. city water at 15°c is heated to 55°c in an oil water heater whose efficiency is 65 percent and then tempered to 42°c by cold water at the t-elbow of the shower before being routed to the shower head. the price of heating oil is $2.80/gal and its heating value is 146,300 kj/gal. assuming a constant specific heat of 4.18 kj/kg·°c for water, determine the amount of oil and money saved per year by replacing the standard shower heads by the low-flow ones. (round the final answers to one decimal place.)

Simon is writing a story about an astronaut whose spacecraft has been boarded by space pirates. the astronaut has her lucky penny in her hand behind her back as the space pirates break into the control room. she has just locked the controls so that the ship is accelerating in the direction of the control room’s ceiling. simon wants the astronaut to use the penny to hit a button on the control panel to turn off the lights and escape. the button is located a short distance behind and below the astronaut’s hands. how should simon use the theory of relativity to describe what the astronaut must do in order to hit the button?
