Given Solution: `aThe volume of the container is 10 cm * 10 cm * 10 cm = 1000 cm^3. So it would take 1000 cubic centimeters of fluid to fill the container. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Self-critique (if necessary): I was a bit unsure of this problem, but just needed to re-read the question. ------------------------------------------------ Self-critique Rating:ok ********************************************* Question: `q002. How many cubes each 10 cm on a side would it take to build a solid cube one meter on a side? YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Your solution: There are 100 cm in 1 meter, so it would take 10 of those cubes to make a meter stick confidence rating:2 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
.............................................
Given Solution: `aIt takes ten 10 cm cubes laid side by side to make a row 1 meter long or a tower 1 meter high. It should therefore be clear that the large cube could be built using 10 layers, each consisting of 10 rows of 10 small cubes. This would require 10 * 10 * 10 = 1000 of the smaller cubes. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Self-critique (if necessary): WRONG answer for me! My math was completely off. I wasn’t imaging things in 3-D, as well as applying the 10*10*10. ------------------------------------------------ Self-critique Rating: ********************************************* Question: `q003. How many square tiles each one meter on each side would it take to cover a square one km on the side? YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Your solution: There are 1000 meters in 1 kilometer. 1000*1000= 100000 squares that are 1 meter in length to make 1 km. confidence rating: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ 3
.............................................
Given Solution: `aIt takes 1000 meters to make a kilometer (km). To cover a square 1 km on a side would take 1000 rows each with 1000 such tiles to cover 1 square km. It therefore would take 1000 * 1000 = 1,000,000 squares each 1 m on a side to cover a square one km on a side. We can also calculate this formally. Since 1 km = 1000 meters, a square km is (1 km)^2 = (1000 m)^2 = 1,000,000 m^2. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Self-critique (if necessary): OK- remember the formal way to write out solution. ------------------------------------------------ Self-critique Rating: ok ********************************************* Question: `q004. How many cubic centimeters are there in a liter? YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Your solution: 1000 cm^3 in 1 L confidence rating: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
.............................................
Given Solution: `aA liter is the volume of a cube 10 cm on a side. Such a cube has volume 10 cm * 10 cm * 10 cm = 1000 cm^3. There are thus 1000 cubic centimeters in a liter. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Self-critique (if necessary): Ok I had this memorized from Chem, so remember to know WHY it is what it is! ------------------------------------------------ Self-critique Rating: ********************************************* Question: `q005. How many liters are there in a cubic meter? YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Your solution: 1000 L = 1 m^3 confidence rating:3 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
.............................................
Given Solution: `aA liter is the volume of a cube 10 cm on a side. It would take 10 layers each of 10 rows each of 10 such cubes to fill a cube 1 meter on a side. There are thus 10 * 10 * 10 = 1000 liters in a cubic meter. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Self-critique (if necessary): same with last, I just had it memorized, remember WHY it is that way. ------------------------------------------------ Self-critique Rating:ok ********************************************* Question: `q006. How many cm^3 are there in a cubic meter? YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Your solution: 1000cm^3= 1 L 1000L= 1m^3 1000000 cm^3 in a m^3 confidence rating: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
.............................................
Given Solution: `aThere are 1000 cm^3 in a liter and 1000 liters in a m^3, so there are 1000 * 1000 = 1,000,000 cm^3 in a m^3. It's important to understand the 'chain' of units in the previous problem, from cm^3 to liters to m^3. However another way to get the desired result is also important: There are 100 cm in a meter, so 1 m^3 = (1 m)^3 = (100 cm)^3 = 1,000,000 cm^3. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Self-critique (if necessary): OK ------------------------------------------------ Self-critique Rating: OK ********************************************* Question: `q007. If a liter of water has a mass of 1 kg the what is the mass of a cubic meter of water? YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Your solution: 1000m^3= 1 Liter 1m^3= ?? ((1m^3)(1kg))/(1000 m^3)= 1000 kg confidence rating:3 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
.............................................
Given Solution: `aSince there are 1000 liters in a cubic meter, the mass of a cubic meter of water will be 1000 kg. This is a little over a ton. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Self-critique (if necessary): OK ------------------------------------------------ Self-critique Rating: OK ********************************************* Question: `q008. What is the mass of a cubic km of water? YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Your solution: 1000 kg (1000m)^3= )1000000000m^3* 1000kg)/ m^3= 1000000000000 kg= 1.0x10^12 confidence rating: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ 3
.............................................
Given Solution: `aA cubic meter of water has a mass of 1000 kg. A cubic km is (1000 m)^3 = 1,000,000,000 m^3, so a cubic km will have a mass of 1,000,000,000 m^3 * 1000 kg / m^3 = 1,000,000,000,000 kg. In scientific notation we would say that 1 m^3 has a mass of 10^3 kg, a cubic km is (10^3 m)^3 = 10^9 m^3, so a cubic km has mass (10^9 m^3) * 1000 kg / m^3 = 10^12 kg. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Self-critique (if necessary): OK ------------------------------------------------ Self-critique Rating:OK ********************************************* Question: `q009. If each of 5 billion people drink two liters of water per day then how long would it take these people to drink a cubic km of water? YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Your solution: 5000000000*2= 10^10 Liters per day. 1000 L= 1 m^3 ( 1000m^3)^3= 10^9 m^3 10^9*1000= 1x10^12 liters Time= 1km^3= 10^12 liters/(10^10 L/day)= 100 days. confidence rating:3 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
.............................................
Given Solution: `a5 billion people drinking 2 liters per day would consume 10 billion, or 10,000,000,000, or 10^10 liters per day. A cubic km is (10^3 m)^3 = 10^9 m^3 and each m^3 is 1000 liters, so a cubic km is 10^9 m^3 * 10^3 liters / m^3 = 10^12 liters, or 1,000,000,000,000 liters. At 10^10 liters per day the time required to consume a cubic km would be time to consume 1 km^3 = 10^12 liters / (10^10 liters / day) = 10^2 days, or 100 days. This calculation could also be written out: 1,000,000,000,000 liters / (10,000,000,000 liters / day) = 100 days. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Self-critique (if necessary): OK- watch conversions ------------------------------------------------ Self-critique Rating: OK ********************************************* Question: `q010. The radius of the Earth is approximately 6400 kilometers. What is the surface area of the Earth? If the surface of the Earth was covered to a depth of 2 km with water that what would be the approximate volume of all this water? YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Your solution: A= 4 pi r^2 4(pi)(6400kn)^2= 5.15x10^8 km^2 add 2 km to the radius= 6402km Vol of sphere= A*h 5.15x10^8 km^2*2 km= 1.02x10^9 km^3 ` confidence rating:3 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
.............................................
Given Solution: `aThe surface area would be A = 4 pi r^2 = 4 pi ( 6400 km)^2 = 510,000,000 km^2. A flat area of 510,000,000 km^2 covered to a depth of 2 km would indicate a volume of V = A * h = 510,000,000 km^2 * 2 km = 1,020,000,000 km^3. However the Earth's surface is curved, not flat. The outside of the 2 km covering of water would have a radius 2 km greater than that of the Earth, and therefore a greater surface area. However a difference of 2 km in 6400 km will change the area by only a fraction of one percent, so the rounded result 1,020,000,000,000 km^3 would still be accurate. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Self-critique (if necessary): My numbers are a bit off, I’m not sure why. I have the correct formulas. ------------------------------------------------ Self-critique Rating: ok ********************************************* Question: `q011. Summary Question 1: How can we visualize the number of cubic centimeters in a liter? YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Your solution: 1 Liter is the same thing as a volume of a cube with 10 centimeter sides, hence 1000cm^3= 1 Liter confidence rating:3 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
.............................................
Given Solution: `aSince a liter is a cube 10 cm on a side, we visualize 10 layers each of 10 rows each of 10 one-centimeter cubes, for a total of 1000 1-cm cubes. There are 1000 cubic cm in a liter. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Self-critique (if necessary): ok ------------------------------------------------ Self-critique Rating:ok ********************************************* Question: `q012. Summary Question 2: How can we visualize the number of liters in a cubic meter? YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Your solution: There are 1000 L in a cubic meter, but a liter is a cube with 10 cm side, 100 cm in 1 m, 10 layers of 10 cm cubes needed.. confidence rating:3 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
.............................................
Given Solution: `aSince a liter is a cube 10 cm on a side, we need 10 such cubes to span 1 meter. So we visualize 10 layers each of 10 rows each of 10 ten-centimeter cubes, for a total of 1000 10-cm cubes. Again each 10-cm cube is a liter, so there are 1000 liters in a cubic meter. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Self-critique (if necessary): ok ------------------------------------------------ Self-critique Rating: ok ********************************************* Question: `q013. Summary Question 3: How can we calculate the number of cubic centimeters in a cubic meter? YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Your solution: 1m= 100cm (1m)^3= (100cm) ^3 is 1m^3= 1000000cm^3 confidence rating:3 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
.............................................
Given Solution: `aOne way is to know that there are 1000 liters in a cubic meters, and 1000 cubic centimeters in a cubic meter, giving us 1000 * 1000 = 1,000,000 cubic centimeters in a cubic meter. Another is to know that it takes 100 cm to make a meter, so that a cubic meter is (100 cm)^3 = 1,000,000 cm^3. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Self-critique (if necessary): ok ------------------------------------------------ Self-critique Rating: Ok ********************************************* Question: `q014. Summary Question 4: There are 1000 meters in a kilometer. So why aren't there 1000 cubic meters in a cubic kilometer? Or are there? YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Your solution: Because the given value is in units of meters, not cubic meters. 1000m= 1 km (1000m)^3= (1km)^3 1000000000 m^3= 1km^3 there are a billion cubic meters in a cubic kilometer. confidence rating:3 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
.............................................
Given Solution: `aA cubic kilometer is a cube 1000 meters on a side, which would require 1000 layers each of 1000 rows each of 1000 one-meter cubes to fill. So there are 1000 * 1000 * 1000 = 1,000,000,000 cubic meters in a cubic kilometer. Alternatively, (1 km)^3 = (10^3 m)^3 = 10^9 m^3, not 1000 m^3. &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& Self-critique (if necessary): OK ------------------------------------------------ Self-critique Rating:OK ********************************************* Question: `q015.
