Question1)

There was a lot of talk among football fans about "deflate-gate" last week (hopefully it's not still going on this week) where the New England Patriots grounds crew seem to have decreased the pressure in the team balls by around 2 PSI from the official value of 12 PSI. (These are Gauge pressures, meaning pressure above 1 atm.) A Physics prof from Boston U. suggested that it may not have been a nefarious plot, but simply a consequence of the fact that it's cold outdoors in Boston and they may have filled the balls indoors. See if this makes sense by calculating the change in pressure (assuming the football had constant volume) between 70 degrees F (nominal inside temperature) and 20 degrees F (a relatively balmy winter-time outside temperature in Boston) from the assumed starting point of 12 PSI.

The Fahrenheit to Celsius conversion is ºC = (ºF – 32)/1.8, there are 14.7 PSI in 1.0 atm, and the volume of a football is 4237 cm3– though you may not even need that last one.

Question 2)

. Imagine you were in the mountains and were desperate for a cup of coffee (or tea, if that's your thing) and the only source of heat you have is a butane cigarette lighter. Could you heat a cup of water at 25 ºC to near boiling with the full capacity of the lighter?

You'll have to make some assumptions about the amount of butane in the lighter and water in your cup, which you should identify; but FYI the density of liquid butane is about 0.6 g/mL, the MW is 58.12 g/mol, and the heat of combustion is -2623 kJ/mol (and of course, the density of water is 1.0 g/mL and the heat capacity is 4.18 J/ºC-g).

Daryl is a 32?year?old man who presents with a 6?month history of shortness of breath even during activities that require only minor exertion. He has noticed increasing limitation in his exercise capacity and denies wheezing, cough, or phlegm production. He has smoked for 15 years and continues to smoke. Daryl's father has been told he has early compensated cirrhosis but has never drank alcohol; his mother is in good health. Daryl’s serum protein electrophoretic results are shown below:     Adult reference Values        Patient Results Albumin 3.5?5.0   3.6 ?1 ? Globulins 0.1?0.4   0.0 ?2 ? Globulins 0.6?1.0   0.7 ? ?

For this assignment, you are going to build upon several skills that you've learned:

  • Create an object that contains objects.
  • Using querySelectorAll to read a nodeList from the DOM.
  • Looping through the nodeList then updating the HTML page.

Set up

Create the assignment in a "week6" folder with the typical files:

  • index.html
  • css/styles.css
  • js/scripts.js

This is the standard structure that we'll use in all assignments.

Design and construct a computer program in one of the approved languages (C, C++, C#, Java, Pascal, Python, etc.) that will illustrate the use of a fourth-order explicit Runge-Kutta method of your own design. In other words, you will first have to solve the Runge-Kutta equations of condition for the coefficients of a fourth-order Runge-Kutta method. See the Mathematica notebook on solving the equations for 4th order RK method. .DO NOT USE a[1] or a[2] = 1/2. Then, you will use these coefficients in a computer program to solve the ordinary differential equation below. Be sure to follow the documentation and programming style policies of the Computer Science Department. The initial value problem to be solved is the following: x'(t) = 2 x2 cos(4 t) subject to the initial condition: x(0) = 1.0 Obtain a numerical solution to this problem over the range from t=0.0 to t=2.0 for seven different values of the stepsize, h=0.1, 0.05 , 0.025 , 0.0125 , 0.00625 , 0.003125 , and 0.0015625 .

The answer at the end of the integration is about 1.978940602164785990777661.

Hint: It is often helpful to test your program on simple differential equations (such as x' = 1 or x'=t or x'=x) as a part of the debugging process.
Once you have worked these simple cases, then try working the nonlinear differential equation given above for the assignment (with a small stepsize).
Also, check your coefficients to make sure that they satisfy the equations of condition and that you have assigned these correct values to the
variables or constants in your program properly. For example, a common error is to write something like:   a2 = 1/2;   when you meant to write
   a2 = 1.0/2.0;   so please be careful.  

Write down (in your output file or in a text file) any conclusions that you can make from these experiments (e.g., what happens as h is decreased?).
