15:24:33 `questionNumber 10001 For each question draw a picture to make sense out of the situation, and include a description of the picture. Samples Sample question and response Question: If a bundle of shingles covers 30 square feet, how many bundles are required to cover a 600 square foot roof? Response: We might draw a picture of a rectangle representing the area, dividing the rectangle into a number of smaller rectangles each representing the area covered by a single bundle. This makes it clear that we are dividing the roof area into 1-bundle areas, and makes it clear why we are going to have to divide. Reasoning this problem out in words, we can say that a single bundle would cover 30 square feet. Two bundles would cover 60 square feet. Three bundles would cover 90 square feet. We could continue in this manner until we reach 600 square feet. However, this would be cumbersome. It is more efficient to use the ideas of multiplication and division. We imagine grouping the 600 square feet into 30 square foot patches. There will be 600 / 30 patches and each will require exactly one bundle. We therefore require 600 / 30 bundles = 20 bundles. {}Your responses might not be as clear as the above, though they might be even more clear. I won't be looking for perfection, though I wouldn't object to it, but for a first effort at visualizing a situation and communicating a reasoning process. This is not something you are used to doing and it might take a few attempts before you can achieve good results, but you will get better every time you try. {}You might be unsure of what to do on a specific question. In such a case specific questions and expressions of confusion are also acceptable responses. Such a response must include your attempts to come up with a picture and reason out an explanation. For example your response might be Sample expression of confusion: I've drawn a picture of a pile of bundles and a roof but I'm not sure how to connect the two. I tried multiplying the number of bundles by the square feet of the roof but I got 18,000, and I know it won't take 18,000 bundles to cover the roof. How do you put the area covered by a bundle together with the roof area to get the number of bundles required? A poor response would be something like 'I don't know how to do #17'. This response reveals nothing of your attempt to understand the question and the situation. Nor does it ask a specific question. Incidentally, you might be tempted to quote rules or formulas about rates and velocities in answering these questions. Don't. This exercise isn't about being able to memorize rules and quote them. It is about expanding your ability to visualize, reason and communicate.

15:26:49 `questionNumber 10002 The preceding three questions illustrate the concept of a rate. In each case, to find the rate we divided the change in some quantity (the number of dollars or the distance, in these examples) by the time required for the change (the number of hours or seconds, in these examples). Explain in your own words what is meant by the idea of a rate.

15:38:18 query introset change in pressure from velocity change. Explain how to get the change in fluid pressure given the change in fluid velocity, assuming constant altitude

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

.................................................

......!!!!!!!!...................................

15:38:36 ** The equation for this situation is Bernoulli's Equation, which as you note is a modified KE+PE equation. Considering ideal conditions with no losses (rho*gy)+(0.5*rho*v^2)+(P) = 0 g= acceleration due to gravity y=altitude rho=density of fluid }v=velocity P= pressure Constant altitude causes the first term to go to 0 and dissapear. (0.5*rho*v^2)+(P) = constant So here is where we are: Since the altitude h is constant, the two quantities .5 rho v^2 and P are the only things that can change. The sum 1/2 `rho v^2 + P must remain constant. Since fluid velocity v changes, it therefore follows that P must change by a quantity equal and opposite to the change in 1/2 `rho v^2. MORE FORMAL SOLUTION: More formally we could write }1/2 `rho v1^2 + P1 = 1/2 `rho v2^2 + P2 and rearrange to see that the change in pressure, P2 - P1, must be equal to the change 1/2 `rho v2^2 - 1/2 `rho v1^2 in .5 rho v^2: P2 - P1 = 1/2 `rho v2^2 - 1/2 `rho v1^2 = 1/2 rho (v2^2 - v1^2). **

15:39:04 query billiard experiment Do you think that on the average there is a significant difference between the total KE in the x direction and that in the y direction? Support your answer.

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE --> I would say not.

.................................................

......!!!!!!!!...................................

15:39:14 ** In almost every case the average of 30 KE readings in the x and in the y direction differs between the two directions by less than 10% of either KE. This difference is not statistically significant, so we conclude that the total KE is statistically the same in bot directions. **
