Identify the plant and calculate the rate of decrease (showing all work and units): BOL June 20232023-08-31 Page 16 of 20 PHYSICS 11/20 WCLN.ca 4. Suppose that the water level of a river is 34 meters and that it is receding at a rate of 0.50 meters per day. a) Write an equation for the water level, L, after d days. b) What does the slope in this relationship represent? c) Determine the number of days it would take to reach 26 meters (show all work): d) Sketch a graph of this situation for 10 days (include titles and units for everything) 5. A plumber charges $25 for a service call plus $50 per hour of service. a) Write an equation in slope-intercept form for the cost, C, after h hours of service b) What does the slope in this relationship represent? c) Determine the number of hours it would take to reach a cost of $500 (show all work): d) Sketch a graph of this situation for 10 hours (include titles and units for everything) BOL June 20232023-08-31 Page 17 of 20 PHYSICS 11/20 WCLN.ca 6. For each experiment below: think about independent vs dependent variables, then specify appropriate titles (including units for axis titles). a) A student wanted to test how the mass of a paper airplane affected the distance it would fly. Paper clips were added before each test flight. As each paper clip was added, the plane was tested to determine how far it would fly in meters. Graph Title: X-axis Title: Y-axis Title: b) A technician wanted to see if a spring could be used on his car. He added various weights to the spring and measured how much the spring compressed. He used weights from his home gym (plates in kg) and a ruler (in cm). Graph Title: X-axis Title: Y-axis Title: c) A scientist studying new winter tires wants to determine their stopping ability. She has an assistant drive a car at various speeds 20km/hr, 30km/hr, 40km/hr... etc. and measures their stopping distance in meters. Graph Title: X-axis Title: Y-axis Title: 7. Draw a good "best fit line" through each set of data (representing the data). If a there's a situation where a best fit line doesn't represent the data well, just write "no trend." Amount of dog food Number of purchased Number of people going swimming BOL June 20232023-08-31 Size of the dog Temperature tourists flying to Hawaii Amount of clothing sold Page 18 of 20 Cost of plane ticket Number of customers at clothing store PHYSICS 11/20 WCLN.ca 8. Use the data below to determine if it's true that "the older you are, the more money you earn" using plotted data. Ensure both axes include: 1) a breaker to show that they don't start at zero; 2) scales that increase in equal increments; 3) good titles and units. 4) draw a best fit line. Age Earnings ($) 25 22000 30 26500 35 29500 37 29000 38 30000 40 32000 41 35000 45 36000 55 41000 60 41000 62 42500 65 43000 70 37000 75 37500 a) What's the general trend shown by your best fit line? b) Does it generally support the hypothesis? c) About how much more does a person earn per year (in general)? Show all work. d) Is there an area of the graph that doesn't seem to follow this trend? Can you explain why? 9. Graph the above data using a spreadsheet program and include the results as your last page. BOL June 20232023-08-31 Page 19 of 20 PHYSICS 11/20 Science and Conspiracy Theories: WCLN.ca Refer to the beginning of the unit and consider the role of science before we push forward. 1. Briefly describe the scientific method (in your own words). How does this help us have confidence in scientific findings? 2. Provide some ideas (in your own words) on how you can recognize pseudoscience & conspiracy theories when it's being presented as science? 3. Briefly describe a reason why an individual, a company, and a country would each start spreading a conspiracy theory as truth.
