Thank you for submitting the following information: identifyingInfo: Submitting Assignment: Orientation Part III b yourCourse: Phy 121 Contact_FirstName: David Contact_LastName: Ball email: dball0008@email.vccs.edu S11 Copy the document below into your word processor or text editor. Complete each task, and respond as indicated: Note: If you do not have the disks for your course, you should not complete this exercise at this time. Complete this once you have your disks. Task: `q000: Verify that you have your disks. Your response (insert your response beginning in the next line): I have the discs labeled: Phy I Part I Phy I Part B Note: If you do not have the disks for your course, you cannot complete this exercise at this time. Complete this once you have your disks. Checking disks: Task: `q001. This is for Mth 158 students only. Disks for your course should have been packaged with your textbook. You should follow the instructions given by the publishers to run your disks. Please verify below that your disks work and that you have been able to access the material. If not, briefly describe the problem. Your response (insert your response beginning in the next line): Looks like I'm going to need an emulator for these .exe files. I confirmed ./disk0/Snazzi0.mpg plays, I can see it, I can hear it. #$&* (Note that your response was to go into 'the next line'; your response will therefore be inserted before this line, not after. This is obvious when you're looking at the form, but if you've copied the form into a text editor it might be less obvious. Hence this note.) Student other than Mth 158 students do as follows: Task: `q001a. This applies to all courses except Mth 158, which uses publisher disks rather than disks produced by the instructor. Class notes, in lecture format with video clips, are distributed on the disks you purchased in the bookstore. If you do not have your disks yet you will have to skip this instruction for now, and you will need to return to this exercise when you receive them. If that is the case you may close this assignment after first entering in the response area below a statement that you do not yet have the disks. Otherwise run one of the disks for your course 1. Insert the disk you have selected into your drive. Open Windows Explorer and run the HTML file in the root folder (simply locate the file and double-click on it). That file will have a name like disk_1.htm or disk_2.htm, and will be one of very few files in the root folder, so you should be able to locate it easily enough. The information on your disk was originally assembled for CD's, and your disk consists of a compilation of a number of CD's. The HTML file in the root folder will give you a list of the CDs collected on your disk. 2. When you run the HTML file you will either get a menu of Class Notes or a series of direct links to video clips. If you get a menu of Class Notes, click on one of the links (#3 would be a good choice but any will do). Otherwise go to the instruction #4. You will see a page containing notes. If you scroll down the page you will see links to video clips embedded within the notes. Click on several of these links to see how they work. 4. If you got a series of direct links, click on one of them in order to see how they work. Click on several more so you will be familiar with the format of these video clips. Describe what you did and what you saw. Your response (insert your response beginning in the next line; the next line is blank and doesn't include the #$... prompt): I highlighted both ph1_DVD_01.htm and ph1_DVD_02.htm, and right-clicked, then chose Open with Google Chrome. Google Chrome opened with two tabs open. The first tab is a web page with the title Physics 1 DVD #1, with 7 links: Disk 0; Gen1; Disk 2; Disk 3; Intro Problem Set 3; Intro Problem Sets 4, 5, 6; EPS01 The second tab is a web page with the title Physics 1 DVD #2, with 7 links: Disk 4, Disk 5, Disk 6, Disk 7, Disk 8, Disk 9, Disk EPS02 #$&* (Note that your response was to go into 'the next line'; your response will therefore be inserted before this line, not after. This is obvious when you're looking at the form, but if you've copied the form into a text editor it might be less obvious. Hence this note.) For Mth 158 students: Task: `q001b. If you are in Mth 158 you should have the publisher's lecture series, which should have either been packaged with your text or purchased separately (according to Textbook Information provided elsewhere). You should follow the publisher's instructions for using those disks. Note that you might need to have QuickTime running before you can access the disks. Check out some of the disks and describe what you see below: Your response (insert your response beginning in the next line; the next line is blank and doesn't include the #$... prompt): I'm not in Mth 158. #$&* (your response should have gone on the line above this one) For students in all courses other than Mth 158: Task: `q002. See root folder file and information for a listing of the contents of each disk. You don't need to understand what you're seeing at this point; that will become clear when you begin your content assignments for the course. Your response (insert your response beginning in the next line; the next line is blank and doesn't include the #$... prompt): Here is the contents of the root of the two combined discs: drwx------ 1 4096 2003-04-11 19:11 disk0 drwx------ 1 4096 2003-04-11 19:12 disk2 drwx------ 1 4096 2003-04-11 19:12 disk3 drwx------ 1 4096 2003-04-11 19:13 disk4 drwx------ 1 4096 2003-04-11 19:13 disk5 drwx------ 1 4096 2003-04-11 19:14 disk6 drwx------ 1 4096 2003-04-11 19:11 disk7 drwx------ 1 4096 2003-04-11 19:14 disk8 drwx------ 1 4096 2003-04-11 19:14 disk9 drwx------ 1 4096 2003-04-11 19:15 EPS01 drwx------ 1 0 2003-04-11 19:10 eps02 drwx------ 1 12288 2004-12-13 15:39 gen1 drwx------ 1 0 2003-04-11 19:10 intprob03 drwx------ 1 8192 2003-04-11 19:11 intprob_4_5_6 -rwx------ 1 716 2004-12-14 13:12 ph1_DVD_01.htm -rwx------ 1 656 2004-12-14 13:11 ph1_DVD_02.htm #$&* (your response should have gone on the line above this one) Task: `q003. Check the rest of your disks. Each disk should be accessed by browsing to the disk and running the file whose name most closely matches the name of the disk, or the HTML file in the root folder of the DVD. Insert each disk in turn into your drive, browse to the appropriate file, and run it. If all your disks work, indicate that they do. If you have trouble with any of them, or with these instructions, describe your problems in detail. Your response (insert your response beginning in the next line; the next line is blank and doesn't include the #$... prompt): Checking a video in each folder: ./disk0/first_lab_videos/Snazzi0.mpg ./disk2/ph01.mpg ./disk3/ph909/ph01.mpg (although noisy, it works) ./disk4/ph11005/ph01.mpg ./disk5/ph1_1009/ph01.mpg ./disk6/ph1_1102/ph03.mpg ./disk7/ph1_1113/ph06.mpg ./disk8/ph1_1130/ph02.mpg ./disk9/ph1_1209/ph03.mpg I think we're all good. #$&* (your response should have gone on the line above this one) Now highlight and copy your document, paste your copy into the box below. Double-check to be sure you have accurately filled in the information at the beginning of this form. Then click on Submit Form. It is suggested that you save a copy of your document as a backup.

If you are earning money at the rate of 8 dollars / hour and work for 4 hours, how much money do you make during this time? Answer in such a way as to explain your reasoning as fully as possible. A solution to this problem appears several lines below, but enter your own solution before you look at the given solution.
Your solution: (type in your solution starting in the next line) $8/hr * 4 hrs = $32 Confidence rating #$&* 3 Given Solution: 8 dollars / hour means '8 dollars per hour', indicating that for every hour you work you earn 8 dollars. If you work for 4 hours, then if you earn 8 dollars for every one of those hours you earn 4 * 8 dollars = 32 dollars. Self-critique (if necessary): OK Self-critique rating #$&* OK Question: `q002. If you work 12 hours and earn $168, then at what rate, in dollars / hour, were you making money?
Your solution: (type in your solution starting in the next line) $ x / hr * 12 hrs = $168 $168 / 12 hours = $14/hr $14 per hour Confidence rating #$&* 3
given solution: $168 earned in 12 hours implies that $168 / 12 = $14 were made per hour, so the rate is $14 / hour. Self-critique (if necessary): OK Self-critique rating #$&* OK
