To understand how points are awarded, read the Grading Policy for this assignment.

 

 

 

Welcome!

 

 

Mastering presents homework items assigned by your instructor and works with you to answer them. Homework items

 

 

 

 

typically have an introduction, possibly figures, and one or more parts for you to answer.

 

 

 

Type of help offered

 

 

 

Mastering tells you immediately whether or not your answers are correct. Usually, you will have multiple

 

chances to arrive at the correct answer. Your instructor will determine how many tries you have available.

 

In many items, hints are available to help you if you get stuck. If you don’t need the hints to solve the

 

problem, you can still use them for review later on.

 

If you submit an incorrect answer, Mastering often responds with specific, helpful feedback.

 

Mastering is forgiving of many typos and formatting mistakes. If it can’t figure out what you entered, it will

 

let you know and give you another chance.

 

These exercises were chosen specifically to lead you through the key features of Mastering and are not intended to test

 

your knowledge of any specific subject material. Therefore, on this item you will not be penalized for using hints and

 

submitting incorrect answers. In fact, you should submit incorrect answers and use the hints to see what happens!

 

 

 

Part A

 

 

 

 

How many squares are in this grid ? Note that the

 

figure link lets you know that a figure goes along with this

 

part. This figure is available to the left.

 

 

 

Enter your answer as a number in the box below and

 

then submit your answer by clicking Submit.

 

 

 

 

ANSWER:

Number of squares = 5

 

 

 

 

 

Correct

 

 

 

 

What you are reading now is called a “followup

 

comment.” These comments typically offer more information or

 

provide an interpretation of the answer you just obtained.

 

Before you move on to a slightly more challenging question, have a quick look at the other buttons available

 

around the answer box.

 

 

Give Up allows you to complete the question if you can’t solve it on your own. Your instructor

 

 

 

controls whether or not the correct answer is displayed to you.

 

 

My Answers brings up a new window that lists all of the answers you have submitted for this

 

 

 

question, along with any helpful feedback you received for incorrect submissions.

 

 

Grading

 

 

 

See the help file available by clicking the Help link at the top right corner, if you want to know more about how grading

 

 

 

 

works in general. Here is the most important information you’ll need.

 

You must complete every part to get credit for an item. To complete a part, either answer the main part question correctly

 

 

 

or click the Give Up button.

 

 

 

 

In a graded homework item, each part counts equally toward your score on the overall item. If you get full credit on each

 

 

 

part, you will receive full credit for the problem. You may lose a fraction of the credit for a part when you submit an

 

 

 

 

incorrect answer. Whether you do lose credit and how much you lose are set by your instructor. However, you won’t lose

 

credit for most types of formatting mistakes or for submitting a blank answer.

 

 

 

As you might expect, you will receive no credit for a part if you use the Give Up button. If you just can’t figure out a

 

 

 

 

question, there is a way to get partial credit by using hints, as the following part will illustrate.

 

 

 

Part B

 

 

 

 

What is the magic number?

 

Note that there is a figure also associated with this part.

 

However, the figure for Part A may still be visible on the

 

left. To view the figure associated with Part B, click on the

 

figure link. A new figure should appear on the left.

 

 

 

You could try to guess the magic number but you

 

would probably use up all your tries before getting

 

 

 

the answer. Notice the new Hints button underneath

 

 

 

 

the answer box for this question. Clicking this button

 

will open up a list of hints that will guide you to the

 

correct number.

 

 

 

 

Hint 1. Different types of hints and their impact on grading

 

 

 

 

Notice that there are three hints for this question. You are not required to use all of the hints or to use them in

 

order. Each hint has a tagline that describes its contents. Based on the tagline you can decide whether or not

 

a particular hint will be useful to you.

 

There are two kinds of hints. Some hints, such as Hint 2 below, just provide you with information. Other hints,

 

such as Hint 3 below, give you an opportunity to answer a simpler question that is related to the main

 

question you are solving. These hints either have questions in the tagline or tell you to do something (e.g.,

 

Find…, Determine…, Identify…, etc.). There are two ways that this type of hint can help you:

 

Answering the simpler question gives you a chance to check that you are on the right track.

 

If you correctly answer the simpler question, you will receive partial credit for the part even if

 

you are unable to answer the main question.

 

 

 

Your instructor may choose to give you a bonus for not using hints or to deduct a small penalty for using

 

hints. If you are stuck, using the hints will usually result in a higher score than simply trying to guess because

 

you may lose fewer points for opening a hint than for getting the answer to the main question incorrect. There

 

is a more detailed explanation of how hints are graded in the help available by clicking the Help link at the top

 

 

 

 

right corner of your screen in the main Mastering window. In this problem, however, you will not lose any

 

credit for using the hints.

 

Now, open up the second hint for some help finding the magic number.

 

 

 

Hint 2. How to approach the problem

 

 

 

 

Although you could try to guess the magic number you would most likely exhaust your tries before getting the

 

correct answer. To help you, the magic number is , where is a number between 1 and 10.

 

 

 

Hint 3. What is ?

 

 

 

 

Recall that the previous hint stated that the magic number is , where is a number between 1 and

 

10. Specifically is an even number between 1 and 10. Try to guess the value of .

 

 

 

You may submit as many guesses as you need. Enter each guess into the answer box that follows.

 

 

 

 

ANSWER:

 

 

 

Correct

 

 

 

 

Now that you have determined , compute to find the magic number.

 

 

ANSWER:

 

 

 

Correct

 

 

 

 

Your instructor may choose to give you a bonus for not using hints or to deduct a small penalty for using hints.

 

If you are stuck, using the hints will usually result in a higher score than simply trying to guess because you

 

may lose fewer points for opening a hint than for getting the answer to the main question incorrect. Note that

 

 

 

you are never required to use the hints; if you want to figure the question out on your own, go ahead!

 

 

Notice that a new button, Review Part, appears when you correctly answer a part with hints. This button allows

 

 

 

you to review all of the hints for that part, even if you didn’t need them to get the answer. This is a useful way to

 

 

review the question when studying for a test. You do not lose any credit for reviewing the hints after you have

 

 

 

answered the question. If you didn’t look at all of the hints while answering the last question, you should read

 

through them now for some important information about hints and hint grading.

Part C

 

 

 

 

Multiplechoice

 

questions have a special grading rule determined by your instructor. Assume that your instructor has

 

decided to grade these questions in the following way: If you submit an incorrect answer to a multiplechoice

 

question with options, you will lose of the credit for that question. Just like the similar multiplechoice

 

penalty on most standardized tests, this rule is necessary to prevent random guessing.

 

If a multiplechoice

 

question has five answer choices and you submit one wrong answer before getting the question

 

 

 

correct, how much credit will you lose for that part of the question?

 

 

 

 

ANSWER:

 

 

 

Correct

 

 

 

 

Your instructor may choose not to deduct of the credit for a multiplechoice

 

question with options.

 

 

To see how your instructor is grading you, click your instructor’s Grading Policy on your assignment page.

 

If you click on the Continue button before finishing all the Parts, you will see a message reminding you that you

 

need to complete each Part to get credit. If you have completed the item, clicking Continue will take you to the

 

next item on the Assignment. At any time you may click on the Provide Feedback link to access a survey page

 

 

 

without losing your work.

 

Once you have completed an item, you may access your score from the assignment. Your score will display

Significant Figures Conceptual Question

 

 

In the parts that follow select whether the number presented in statement A is greater than, less than, or equal to the

 

number presented in statement B. Be sure to follow all of the rules concerning significant figures.

 

 

 

Part A

 

 

 

 

Statement A: 2.567 , to two significant figures.

 

Statement B: 2.567 , to three significant figures.

 

 

 

Determine the correct relationship between the statements.

 

 

 

 

Hint 1. Rounding and significant figures

 

 

 

 

Rounding to a different number of significant figures changes a number. For example, consider the number

 

3.4536. This number has five significant figures. The following table illustrates the result of rounding this

 

number to different numbers of significant figures:

Four significant figures 3.454

 

Three significant figures 3.45

 

Two significant figures 3.5

 

One significant figure 3

 

Notice that, when rounding 3.4536 to one significant figure, since 0.4536 is less than 0.5, the result is 3, even

 

though if you first rounded to two significant figures (3.5), the result would be 4.

 

ANSWER:

 

 

 

Correct

 

 

 

Part B

 

 

 

 

Statement A: (2.567 + 3.146 ), to two significant figures.

 

Statement B: (2.567 , to two significant figures) + (3.146 , to two significant figures).

 

 

 

Determine the correct relationship between the statements.

 

 

 

 

ANSWER:

 

 

 

Correct

 

 

 

 

Evaluate statement A as follows: (2.567 + 3.146 ) = 5.713 to two significant figures is 5.7 .

 

Statement B evaluates as 2.6 + 3.1 = 5.7 . Therefore, the two statements are equal.

 

 

Part C

 

 

 

 

Statement A: Area of a rectangle with measured length = 2.536 and width = 1.4 .

 

Statement B: Area of a rectangle with measured length = 2.536 and width = 1.41 .

 

Since you are not told specific numbers of significant figures to round to, you must use the rules for multiplying

 

numbers while respecting significant figures. If you need a reminder, consult the hint.

 

 

 

Determine the correct relationship between the statements.

Hint 1. Significant figures and multiplication

 

 

 

 

When you multiply two numbers, the result should be rounded to the number of significant figures in the less

 

accurate of the two numbers. For instance, if you multiply 2.413 (four significant figures) times 3.81 (three

 

significant figures), the result should have three significant figures: . Similarly,

 

, when significant figures are respected (i.e., 15.328646 rounded to one significant

 

figure).

 

ANSWER:

 

 

 

Correct

 

 

 

 

Evaluate statement A as follows: (2.536 ) (1.4 ) = 3.5504 to two significant figures is 3.6 .

 

Statement B evaluates as (2.536 ) (1.41 ) = 3.57576 to three significant figures is 3.58 .

 

Therefore, statement A is greater than statement B.

 

 

Vector ComponentsReview

 

 

Learning Goal:

 

 

 

 

To introduce you to vectors and the use of sine and cosine for a triangle when resolving components.

 

Vectors are an important part of the language of science, mathematics, and engineering. They are used to discuss

 

multivariable calculus, electrical circuits with oscillating currents, stress and strain in structures and materials, and flows

 

of atmospheres and fluids, and they have many other applications. Resolving a vector into components is a precursor to

 

computing things with or about a vector quantity. Because position, velocity, acceleration, force, momentum, and angular

 

 

 

momentum are all vector quantities, resolving vectors into components is the most important skill required in a

 

 

 

 

mechanics course.

 

 

 

The figure shows the components of , and , along the x and y axes of the coordinate system, respectively. The

 

 

 

 

components of a vector depend on the coordinate system’s orientation, the key being the angle between the vector and

 

the coordinate axes, often designated .

Correct

 

 

 

 

In principle, you can determine the components of any vector with these expressions. If lies in one of the

 

 

 

other quadrants of the plane, will be an angle larger than 90 degrees (or in radians) and and

 

will have the appropriate signs and values.

 

Unfortunately this way of representing , though mathematically correct, leads to equations that must be

 

simplified using trig identities such as

 

and

 

.

 

These must be used to reduce all trig functions present in your equations to either or . Unless

 

you perform this followup step flawlessly, you will fail to recoginze that

 

,

 

and your equations will not simplify so that you can progress further toward a solution. Therefore, it is best to

 

express all components in terms of either or , with between 0 and 90 degrees (or 0 and

 

in radians), and determine the signs of the trig functions by knowing in which quadrant the vector lies.

 

 

Part B

 

 

 

 

When you resolve a vector into components, the components must have the form or . The

 

 

 

 

signs depend on which quadrant the vector lies in, and there will be one component with and the other with

 

.

 

 

 

In real problems the optimal coordinate system is often rotated so that the x axis is not horizontal. Furthermore, most

 

 

 

 

vectors will not lie in the first quadrant. To assign the sine and cosine correctly for vectors at arbitrary angles, you

 

must figure out which angle is and then properly reorient the definitional triangle.

 

As an example, consider the vector shown in the diagram labeled “tilted axes,” where you know the angle

 

 

 

between and the y axis.

 

 

 

 

Which of the various ways of orienting the definitional

 

triangle must be used to resolve into components in

 

the tilted coordinate system shown? (In the figures, the

 

hypotenuse is orange, the side adjacent to is red, and

 

the side opposite is yellow.)

First figure out the sines and cosines of , then figure out the signs from the quadrant the vector is in and

 

write in the signs.

 

 

 

Hint 2. Finding the trigonometric functions

 

 

 

 

Sine and cosine are defined according to the following convention, with the key lengths shown in green: The

 

hypotenuse has unit length, the side adjacent to has length , and the side opposite has length

 

. The colors are chosen to remind you that the vector sum of the two orthogonal sides is the vector
