A slightly bruised apple will rot extensively in about 2.5 days at room temperature (25.0°C). If it is kept in the refrigerator at 0.5°C, the same extent of rotting takes about 17 days. What is the activation energy for the rotting reaction?

Astudent weighing 700 n climbs at constant speed to the top of an 8 m vertical rope in 10 s. the average power expended by the student to overcome gravity is most nearly

Engines for propeller-driven aircraft are limited in their maximum rotational speed by the fact that the tip speed of the propeller must not approach the speed of sound in air (mach i). taking 6 ft as a typical diameter for a propeller of a light airplane and 1100 fils as the speed of sound, find the upper limit on the rpm (revolutions per minute) of the propeller shaft.

7. see worksheet 1 for values of variables x1, x2 and x3 and answer the following questions: a. for each variable find the mean, median, coefficient of skewness, range and population standard deviation. b. compared to variable x1, how are the mean and median affected by extreme values (outliers) seen in x2 and x3. c. is the median or mean the better measure of location for x2 and x3? explain. d. explain the differences in the magnitudes of the skewness coefficients for the three variables. e. what is the relationship between the range and standard deviation looking across the three variables?
