What Happened To The Balloon?

• It was Whimpy and Broke!

• It was fearful of all of the people!

• Spyridis scared it!

• It got zapped by Klingons!

• Hydrogen burns!

2H2 (g) + O2 (g) 2 H2O (g) + Energy

• Hydrogen and oxygen are diatomic gases!

• Water can be a gas!• ENERGY was given off!--

This is characteristic of an Exothermic Reaction!

• This is a balanced chemical reaction!

On July 23, 1983 Air Canada flight 143, a 767-200, from Montreal to Edmonton

literally ran out of fuel at 41,000 ft. Luckily, the pilot and co-pilot were able

to glide the aircraft down and land at the airport in Gimli, Manitoba. Of the

69 passengers and 8 crew on board 10 were injured during landing, but there

were no fatalities.

The ground crew loaded 22,300 lb of fuel onto the

aircraft.The flight required 22,300 kg

of fuel. 1 lb = 0.453 kg

The tanks had only 10,102 kg of fuel in them.

Units Used in Calculations

Length : A car is 12 feet long, not “12” ! A person is 6 feet tall, not “6” !

Area : A carpet measuring 3 feet(ft) by 4 ft has an area of:

( 3 x 4 )( ft x ft ) = 12 ft2

Speed and Distance : A car traveling 350 miles(mi) in 7 hours(hr) has a speed of:

350 mi / 7 hr = 50 mi / hr In 3 hours the car travels: 3 hr x 50 mi / hr = 150 mi

Derived SI UnitsQuantity Definition of Quantity SI unit

Area Length squared m2

Volume Length cubed m3

Density Mass per unit volume kg/m3

Speed Distance traveled per unit time m/s

Acceleration Speed changed per unit time m/s2

Force Mass times acceleration of object kg•m/s2 (= newton, N)Pressure Force per unit area N/(m2) (= pascal, Pa)Energy Force times distance traveled kg•m2/s2

(= joule, J)
