Write a script that will ask for pressure value in psi and display the equivalent pressure in kPa with a statement, such as "The converted pressure is: ..."

% This script converts pressures from psi to kPa % User is prompted to enter pressure in psiclc % Clear screen disp('This script converts pressures from psi to kPa:')disp(' ') % Display blank line psi=input('What is the pressure value in psi? ');kPa=psi*6.894757; % Calculating pressure in kPa disp(' ') % Display blank linestr = ['The converted pressure is: ', num2str(kPa), ' kPa.'];disp(str); The script output is as follows: This script converts pressures from psi to kPa:What is the pressure value in psi? 150The converted pressure is: 1034.2135 kPa.

Write a script that generates a table of conversions from Fahrenheit to Celsius temperatures for a range and increment entered by the user, such as

Enter the beginning temperature in F:
Enter the ending temperature in F:
Enter the increment value:

Test your script with 20 the beginning Fahrenheit value, 200 the ending Fahrenheit value and 20 the increment.

Pascal's Law states that pressure is transmitted undiminished in all directions throughout a fluid at rest. (See the illustration below). An initial force of 150 N is transmitted from a piston of 25 mm^2 to a piston of 100 mm^2. This force is progressively increased up to 200 N. Write a script that computes the corresponding load carried by the larger piston and tabulate your results.

A golfer on a fairway is 70 m away from the green, which sits below the level of the fairway by 20 m. If the golfer hits the ball at an angle of 40° with an initial speed of 20 m/s, how close to the green does she come?

Chemistry is a branch of science that deals with the study of matter,it composition,it structure and the changes it undergoes

chemistry could also be understood like the sexual attraction/repulsion of the male and female elements. the reaction varies depending on the energy differences of each given gender. + masculine -female.

can someone explain to me, an ignorant high school student, why the trend of the graph doesn't follow the fact that the higher frequency a sound wave is, the more power it is, hence, making me think the phons output would follow this general trend?
Joseph Reply
Nevermind i just realied that the graph is the phons output for a person with normal hearing and not just the phons output of the sound waves power, I should read the entire thing next time
Joseph
Follow up question, does anyone know where I can find a graph that accuretly depicts the actual relative "power" output of sound over its frequency instead of just humans hearing
