2 SECTION A Answer ALL questions [50 marks] 1. Convert 0.3 psi (pound-force per square inch) into SI base units and give your answer in scientific notation and to decimal places. [10 marks]. The amount A(t) of the radioactive substance carbon-14 (or 14 C) decays according to the exponential function: A(t) = A 0 e rt where A 0 is the initial amount (at t = 0) and t is the time in years (t 0). The half-life of carbon-14 is 5,730 years. In other words, the amount A of this radioactive substance in 5,730 years is equal to half of its initial amount A 0. Find r (round to 3 significant figures). [0 marks] 3. The Aral Sea used to be one of the biggest lakes in the world, but it has dramatically lost water since the middle of the last century. This loss of water can be described - from 1973 to by the empirically derived quadratic function: f(x) = y = x,1.7 x +,3,810 where y is the water volume in km 3 and x is the year. Determine the water volume of the Aral Sea in 1973 and in 010 and calculate in which year the volume would return to 1973 levels if the above function is used for prediction purposes.

3 3 SECTION B Answer ALL questions [50 marks] 4. Ocean uptake of carbon dioxide (CO) leads to ocean acidification as the extra dissolved carbon dioxide reacts with water to form carbonic acid. The ph, a measure of acidity, is defined as follows: ph = log 10 ([H + ]) where [H + ] is the hydrogen ion concentration (in mol l -1 or M). The global mean surface ocean ph was 8.1 in the year 000. Global mean surface ocean ph has been predicted to decrease by 0.3 ph units by the year 100 relative to the year 000, if CO emissions from human activity continue unabated (in a business as usual scenario ). What was the hydrogen ion concentration in the year 000 and what would it become in 100? Use scientific notation and significant figures. Is this an increase or a decrease in the hydrogen ion concentration over time? Express the change in the hydrogen ion concentration from the year 000 to the year 100 as a relative change in percent. Report this percentage to 3 significant figures. [0 marks] 5. An astronaut tosses a tennis ball vertically upwards, while walking on another planet. The height of the tennis ball, z(t) (in m), over time t (in s) can be described as: z(t) =.6 t t + 1 Use differentiation to determine the maximum height that the ball reaches and when it reaches this height. Report the height to 3 significant figures and the time to significant figures. [15 marks] 6. This empirical fit describes the annual emissions, E, of carbon dioxide (CO) by fossil fuel burning and cement use (in Pg a -1 in carbon equivalents): E = X Here X are the years since 1958, with X = 0 for 1958 and X = 57 for 015. By integration calculate the cumulative CO emissions over this 57-year period. Report your answer to 4 significant figures. [15 marks] END OF PAPER ENV-4014Y Version 1

12 Exam feedback and model answers ENV-4014Y Advanced Quantitative Skills Dorothee Bakker and Johannes Laube Maths exam of 7 June 018 Most common feedback: Confusion between significant figures and decimal places: For example, has 3 decimal places and 5 significant figures. Significant figures refers to all the numbers, except zeros at the beginning and the end. Decimal places refers to the numbers after the decimal point. Rounding errors were common: rounds to 6 (1 s.f.), 5.6 ( s. f.) and 5.57 (3 s. f.) rounds to 5 (1 s. f.), 5.5 ( s. f.) and 5.45 (3 s. f.). Scientific notation In scientific notation M is written as 7.9 x10-9 M. Most answers required a unit. On Q1: - Correct conversion for the force, but not the area (both the number and the unit need to be squared). - Result not converted to SI base units (needed here are metres, kilograms and seconds). - The answer should have been given to two decimal places. - It is poundal-force PER square inch, so the two converted quantities should have been divided by each other. - Kilogram is the unit of mass, not force. - Well done for answering in a sentence. - Two attempts on the question, but none crossed out. - Individual steps not explained. - Answer not given in Scientific Notation. - Pressure was mistaken for torque. On Q: - Two minor comments are that a) the unit of r is missing and b)the answer could have been expressed as a sentence. - A logarithm needs to be taken for rearranging an equation to solve for a term in an exponent. - A(5730) should have been replaced with A(0)/. - Exponents in a numerator cannot be cancelled out with numbers in a denominator. - A(5,730) is not the same as A times 5,730 - A(0) is not zero at t = 0. - Two attempts on the question, but none crossed out. - Multiple errors in rearranging an equation. - A(t) and A(0) are amounts not times. 1
13 On Q3: - The formula to solve a quadratic equation has been recognised as important but is only needed for the second part of the question. - The first part of the question is calculated correctly but incorrectly rounded. - The second part of the question requires the formula to solve a quadratic equation. On Q4: Many students struggled with the calculation of the hydrogen ion concentration, notably with the negative sign before the logarithm. In scientific notation M is written as 7.9 x10-9 M. The scientific notation was required for reporting the hydrogen ion concentration. This is an increase in the hydrogen ion concentration. In fact, the hydrogen ion concentration almost doubles. Hence the name ocean acidification. The percentage relative change is calculated as the difference of the new value and the original value, divided by the original value, times 100 percent. Full marks were also awarded to calculation of the percentage relative change as the new value divided by the original value, times 100 percent. Many students reversed the order of the new value and the original value in the calculation. On Q5: Many students did well on this question. This question requires taking the first derivative, setting it to zero and solving for time. Entry of this time in the original equation for the height as a function of time then gives the maximum height of the tennis ball. Mistakes included errors in the first derivative and in solving the equation for time. A few students correctly calculated the time, but then confused time with height. On Q6: This question required definite integration for the period of 0 to 57 years. Some students struggled to integrate the equation. Other students did not clearly carry out definite integration. Cumulative CO emissions over a period of time have the unit Pg, not Pg a -1 (or Pg yr -1 ). The unit 'loses' the 'per year' as a result of the integration over time (here years).
14 Exam questions with answers 1. Convert 0.3 psi (pound-force per square inch) into SI base units and give your answer in scientific notation and to decimal places. [10 marks] 1 pound-force = N (from the ENV-4014Y Formulae Sheet) 1 pound-force = kg m s - 1 inch = 5.4 mm (from the ENV-4014Y Formulae Sheet) 1 inch = m 1 square inch = ( m) 1 square inch = ( ) m 1 square inch = m 0.3 (pound-force) / (1 square inch) = 0.3 (4.448 kg m s - ) / ( m ) 0.3 (pound-force) / (1 square inch) = kg m -1 s -. The amount A(t) of the radioactive substance carbon-14 (or 14 C) decays according to the exponential function A(t) = A 0 e rt where A 0 is the initial amount (at t = 0) and t is the time in years (t 0). The half-life of carbon-14 is 5,730 years. In other words, the amount A of this radioactive substance in 5,730 years is equal to half of its initial amount A 0. Find r (round to 3 significant figures). [0 marks] List variables with values: A 0 =? A(5,730) = 1 A 0 t = 5,730 r =? Substitute values in the formula: A(t) = A 0 e rt 3
15 A(5,730) = A 0 e r 5,730 Make r the subject and solve for r: 1 A 0 = A 0 e 5,730r e 5,730r = 0.5 ln(e 5,730r ) = ln(0.5) 5,730r = ln(0.5) r = ln(0.5) 5,730 = ,730 = a 1 (3 s. f. ) or, since scientific notation was not specifically asked for: r = a The Aral Sea used to be one of the biggest lakes in the world, but it has dramatically lost water since the middle of the last century. This loss of water can be described - from 1973 to by the empirically derived quadratic function f(x) = y = x,1.7 x +,3,810 where y is the water volume in km 3 and x is the year. Determine the water volume of the Aral Sea in 1973 and in 010 and calculate in which year the volume would return to 1973 levels if the above function is used for prediction purposes. [0 marks] Firstly we need to find f(1973) and f(010): f(1973) = (1973), ,3,810 = km 3 = 859 km 3 (The number of s.f. of the result of Addition or Subtraction is determined by rightmost common decimal position.) f(010) = (010), ,3,810 = 91.1 km 3 = 91 km 3 Secondly we are asked to find x for f(1973) which we just determined to be 859 km 3. First write the equation: 859 = x,1.7 x +,3,810 Then rearrange to give the form ax + bx + c = 0: 4
16 0 = x,1.7 x +,3, = x,1.7 x +,,951 Then solve using the general formula given by: x = b± b 4ac a x = (,1.7) ± (,1.7) ,, x = or x = The question asks for the date of return to 1973 water volume levels, so only the second solution really makes sense. The correct answer sentence is: The water volume of the Aral Sea was 859 km 3 in 1973 and 91 km 3 in 010 and volumes would return to 1973 levels in 047 if the above function is used for prediction purposes. N.B. This is unfortunately unlikely to happen as water volumes do not appear to be recovering significantly to date. 4. Ocean uptake of carbon dioxide (CO) leads to ocean acidification as the extra dissolved carbon dioxide reacts with water to form carbonic acid. The ph, a measure of acidity, is defined as follows: ph = log 10 ([H + ]) where [H + ] is the hydrogen ion concentration (in mol l -1 or M). The global mean surface ocean ph was 8.1 in the year 000. Global mean surface ocean ph has been predicted to decrease by 0.3 ph units by the year 100 relative to the year 000, if CO emissions from human activity continue unabated (in a business as usual scenario ). What was the hydrogen ion concentration in the year 000 and what would it become in 100? Use scientific notation and significant figures. Is this an increase or a decrease in the hydrogen ion concentration over time? Express the change in the hydrogen ion concentration from the year 000 to the year 100 as a relative change in percent. Report this percentage to 3 significant figures. [0 marks] ph = log 10 ([H + ]) For 000 ph 000 = log 10 ([H + ] 000 ) = 8.1 Multiply both sides of the equation with -1. 5
17 log 10 ([H + ] 000 ) = 8.1 [H + ] 000 = M = x 10-9 = 7.9 x 10-9 M ( s.f.) For 100 ph 100 = ph = 7.8 Repeat the calculation above for the ph value in 100. ph 100 = log 10 ([H + ] 100 ) = 7.8 Multiply both sides of the equation with -1. log 10 ([H + ] 100 ) = 7.8 [H + ] 100 = M = x 10-8 = 1.6 x 10-8 M ( s.f.) This is an increase in the hydrogen ion concentration. In fact, the hydrogen ion concentration almost doubles. This is why the process is called ocean acidification. Relative change as a percentage = 100% [H+ ] 100 [H + ] 000 [H + ] 000 = 100% = 100% (10 ( 7.8 ( 8.1)) 10 ( 8.1 ( 8.1)) ) Relative change (%) = 100% ( ) = 100% ( ) = 99.53% = 99.5% The hydrogen ion concentration was M in 000 and would become M in 100 ( significant figures, scientific notation). The relative increase in the hydrogen ion concentration would be 99.5% by the year 100 (3 significant figures). Use of the rounded concentrations for the hydrogen-ion concentration gives 10.53% which rounds to 103% (3 significant figures), a result with a slightly lower precision. An alternative answer (awarded full marks) is: Percentage = 100% [H+ ] 100 [H + ] 000 6
18 = 100% = 100% 10 ( ) Percentage = 100% = 100% = 00% The hydrogen ion concentration was M in 000 and would become M in 100 ( significant figures, scientific notation). The hydrogen ion concentration in 100 would be 00% of the concentration in 000 (3 significant figures). Thus, the hydrogen ion concentration would nearly double by 100. Reference: Caldeira, K. and M. E. Wickett (003) Anthropogenic carbon and ocean ph. Nature 45: An astronaut tosses a tennis ball vertically upwards, while walking on another planet. The height of the tennis ball, z(t) (in m), over time t (in s) can be described as: z(t) =.6 t t + 1 Use differentiation to determine the maximum height that the ball reaches and when it reaches this height. Report the height to 3 significant figures and the time to significant figures. [15 marks] By differentiation work out the vertical velocity of the tennis ball as a function of time. The vertical velocity is the first derivative of the height over time. v(t) = z (t) = 5. t (in m s -1 ) The velocity is zero at the highest point. z (t) = 5. t = 0 t = = 3 s z (t) = 5. The second derivative is negative, confirming that this is a maximum. zmax = z(3) = = 4.4 m t = 3.0 s ( s. f.) zmax = 4.4 m (3 s. f.) 7
19 The ball reaches a maximum height of 4.4 meters (3 significant figures) after 3.0 seconds ( significant figures). 6. This empirical fit describes the annual emissions, E, of carbon dioxide (CO) by fossil fuel burning and cement use (in Pg a -1 in carbon equivalents): E = X Here X are the years since 1958, with X = 0 for 1958 and X = 57 for 015. By integration calculate the cumulative CO emissions over this 57-year period. Report your answer to 4 significant figures. [15 marks] Cumulative emissions = 57 0 (0.147 X +.688) dx = X X + c 0 57 = ( c c ) = ( ) = = Pg The cumulative CO emissions were Pg in carbon equivalents over this 57 year period.
