9. Math question 1 The surface area of the outside of a hollow tube with no caps on the end (like the cardboard tube for a paper towel roll) is equal to 2*pi*radius*height. If the radius of the cylinder doubles, what happens to its surface area (or what happens to the amount of paint you would need to cover its outside).paper towel roll Note that I have posted some more examples of solving such problems at The surface area doubles 2. The surface area triples 3. The surface area goes down by one-half 4. The surface area goes down by one-quarter

10. Math question 2 (computing your grade) I try to minimize the amount of math used in this course. Some math is required to understand some concepts, however. And there is some level of math competency that every university graduate should have.Sometimes students ask me how to compute their grade. I think that all college students should be able to do things like compute their grade in a class or compute what would happen to their grade point if they got, for example, a 4.0 or a 1.0 this semester. If a student got a 90, 80, 70, and 50 on their exams 1-4, respectively, and their quiz average was 90%, what is their overall percentage score? You may need to reference the syllabus at % 2. 78% 3. 80% 4. 81% 5. 79%

12. Photons through a hole In this diagram, the sun is shown enclosed in an hollow sphere that has a radius of 1 AU. Suppose that you found that 10 photons passed through the 1 meter by 1 meter hole every second. What would you measure if you increased the size of the hole to 2 meters by 2 meters? photons per second would pass through the 2 meter by 2 meter hole photons per second would pass through the 2 meter by 2 meter hole photons per second would pass through the 2 meter by 2 meter hole photons per second would pass through the 2 meter by 2 meter hole.

13. Spectrum 5 Why do some photons pass right through a cloud of gas while others get absorbed by the gas and then scattered in a random direction? Choose the best answer. 1. Every element has a set of special frequencies associated with it. If you hit an element with a photon at one of those special frequencies, it interacts with the element and then later the element sends out an identical photon in a random direction. 2. Every element has a set of special frequencies associated with it. If you hit an element with a photon at one of those special frequencies, the photon is reflected back in the direction it came from. 3. Every element has a set of special speeds associated with it. If you hit an element with a photon at one of those special speeds, it interacts with the element and then later the element sends out an identical photon in a random direction.

Every element has a set of special frequencies associated with it. If you hit an element with a photon at one of those special frequencies, it interacts with the element and then later the element sends out an identical photon in a random direction. (Technically this is true for element in ground state being excited to its first energy level … in general, emitted photon does not need to be the same as the absorbed photon.) 2. Every element has a set of special frequencies associated with it. If you hit an element with a photon at one of those special frequencies, the photon is reflected back in the direction it came from. 3. Every element has a set of special speeds associated with it. If you hit an element with a photon at one of those special speeds, it interacts with the element and then later the element sends out an identical photon in a random direction.
