In Earth s atmosphere, pressure and temperature both decrease as altitude increases. Weather balloons expand as they rise. Which has more effect on the weather balloon, the decrease in pressure or the decrease in temperature? Explain your answer. (2 pts) As temperature decreases, volume should decrease. However, as pressure decreases, volume should increase. Therefore, the decrease in pressure has a greater affect because the volume increases.

Two generators are identical except for the loops of wire that rotate through their magnetic fields. One has twice as many turns of wire as the other one does. Which generator would produce the most electric current? Why? (2 pts) The generator with twice as many coils would produce the most electricity because the amount of electricity generated increases as the number of coils increases. Use the diagram below to answer the following two questions. The diagram below shows a model of a simple electrical generator. There are conducting pieces that allow the circuit to remain closed as the handle is turned. The bulb can be lit as current electricity is produced in the wires when the handle turns the metal coil. 27. What do the pieces labeled X represent? (1 pt) The pieces labeled X represent the permanent magnet. 28. Describe how an electrical current is produced when the coil is turned. (2 pts) When the coil is turned, the magnets cause movement in the electrons within the coil. The movement of electrons causes an electric current.

Cost ($) Challenge questions (Extra credit 1% each. You must show your work!) 1. Carpet is on sale at Store A for $25/yd 2 with an installation cost of $100. The same carpet is on sale at Store B for $3.00/ft 2 with an installation cost of $50. Graph the relationship between cost and area of the room for the two carpets.

Calculate the cost for each carpet at that area to verify your answer. 1000 950 900 850 800 750 700 650 600 550 500 450 400 350 300 250 200 150 100 50 0 0 20 40 60 80 100 120 140 160 180 200 220 240 260 280 300 320 340 360 380 Area (ft 2 ) Store A Store B The carpets will cost the same at ~230 ft 2. Cost at Store A = $2.78/ft 2 x 230 ft 2 + $100 = $739.40 Cost at Store B = $3.00/ft 2 x 230 ft 2 + $50=$740.00
2. How would you make the gravitation force of the second objects equal the gravitational force of the first objects without changing the objects themselves? I want a quantitative answer not a qualitative one. 1 st objects: 5 km 2,000 kg 5,000 kg 2 nd objects: 5 km 25,000 kg 30,000 kg G=(mass 1) times (mass 2) divided by the distance squared. G 1 =(2,000 x 5,000)/5 2 = 400,000 G 2 =(25,000 x 30,000)/d 2 =400,000 so d 2 =(25,000 x 30,000)/400,000=1,875 so d=43.3 Move the second objects 43.3 km apart to make the force of gravity equal. 3. I am hiking and get lost. First I hike 5 miles north. Then I hike 2 miles east. Then I hike 2.8 miles directly northwest. Then I hike another 7.1 miles directly southwest. Finally, I hike 3 miles north. Where am I compared to where I started? You must compute this mathematically! You must provide a scale and a compass rose. Scale: 1 box = 1 mile, Resultant vector: = = = 7.1 miles northwest N
