PHY 110 Final Exam Project – Part One due at 12:00 NOON on Tuesday, May 24, 2022 This is an INDIVIDUAL exam – please do NOT share your questions or your work! From each of the five groups of questions below, select ONE question to answer. Fully following the instructions in the Final Exam Video Instructions parts 1 and 2, answer each question you select with a video of your own making, ranging between 2:01 and 2:59 in length (that is, not less than two minutes and not more than three minutes) that contains all the required content. You may turn in any of these videos as early as you wish; as the due date is, however, the last day of final exam period, only medical or other emergency extensions may be granted. Please be sure also to give yourself enough time before the due date to make the videos available – it can take a little planning, especially if the video files are large. You may make the videos low-resolution to reduce their size, as long as they are in focus and clearly viewable. Thank you! For all of the groups’ questions, use the following numbers W, X, Y, Z computed as follows. Add 2022 to the last four digits of your phone number: _________ This is W. Divide W by 19 and round to the nearest whole number: _________ This is X. Divide X by 10 and do not round off your answer: ____________ This is Y. Divide Y by 10 and do not round off; then add 2.02 to your answer: _________ This is Z. Group A Questions 1. Present a brief history of how Galileo Galilei’s research led to Isaac Newton’s first law of motion, also known as the Law of Inertia. 2. Present a brief history of how Albert Einstein built upon the work of Max Planck to explain the photoelectric effect and, in so doing, confirmed the wave-particle duality of light. Your video from Group A will be assessed on the following criteria: – Does your presentation correctly describe the relevant scientific work of each scientist? – Have you explained the scientific and historical content clearly and correctly? – Did you either draw a sketch or list the equations that properly convey the scientific content? – Have you included one interesting non-science-related thing about this bit of scientific history? – Is all your information accurate, and if it is controversial, do you have references to support it? Group B Questions 1. Write a question, including a sketch, that calculates the energy produced when Z kilograms of matter are converted into energy; how many atomic bombs of energy that is equivalent to; and how many hurricanes of energy that is equivalent to. Then answer it. 2. Write a question, including a sketch, that calculates the pressure of a container of gas whose temperature increases from X Kelvin to 400 Kelvin, and the pressure if that container then increases to three times its original volume. Then answer it. Your video from Group B will be assessed on the following criteria: – Does your question fulfill the given requirements? – Did you draw a sketch that correctly presents the question? – Do you explain what equations you are using and why? – Do you show all your work and calculations clearly in your video? – Is your answer correct, and did you cite any references you used? Group C Questions Present a brief biographical video of one of these four physicists: (1) Lise Meitner (2) Chien-Shiung Wu (3) Maria Goeppert-Mayer (4) Cecilia Payne-Gaposchkin. Your video from Group C will be assessed on the following criteria: – Have you included the time and place they lived, including birth and death years? – Have you included at least one science-related thing you found interesting about their life? – Have you included at least one non-science-related thing you found interesting about their life? – Have you explained their most significant scientific contributions clearly and correctly? – Is all your information accurate, and if it is controversial, do you have references to support it? Group D Questions Choose any part of any Question 3 ([a], [b], [c], or [d]) from any of the video lectures’ Study Guides 5, 14, 17, 19, or 23 that involves a calculation with an equation and one or more of the values W, X, Y, or Z. Present and solve that question part in your video, using the values of W, X, Y, or Z in this final exam project. Your video will be assessed on the same criteria as those in Group B. Group E Questions Choose any one part of any Question 3 ([a], [b], [c], or [d]) in any of the video lectures’ Study Guides 15, 18, or 23 in which you described the material in a section of an OpenStax textbook. Record a video about that material. Your video will be assessed on the following criteria: – What section of what chapter of what book is the video about, and what is its title and subject? – What are the main ideas covered in this reading, and how are they relevant to the course? – Have you explained the material clearly and correctly? – Have you included at least one thing you personally found to be particularly interesting? – Have you related this material to at least one example of your typical life experiences? When you have finished the videos, post or share them in any way that is most convenient. Send an email to the usual csiphyast course email address with the subject line: Subj: PHY 110 Spring22 Final Exam Project Part 1 where you have typed your first name and last name in the locations shown. In the email, include instructions on how to access and download the videos – for example, give the links to the videos individually and, if applicable, to the online repository or channel where they are available. ** Be sure to make the video files fully accessible; if the system can’t download the videos, you cannot receive credit for them.** Thank you!

Thank you! PHY 110 Spring 2022 Final Exam Project – Part 2 1. [24 points] In each of following (a) through (f), explain whether or not the sentence makes scientific sense. If it does not, then replace one or more of the underlined words with one or more other words so that the sentence makes scientific sense, and then rewrite the sentence completely. (a) Dark matter and luminous energy together comprise 95% of the universe’s contents. (b) The wave-particle duality of matter is part of the theory of special pseudoscience. (c) Bosons, quarks, protons, and neutrinos are all examples of fermions. (d) Light waves are acoustic waves that carry power and their intensity is measured in decibels. (e) Two consequences of the general theory of relativity include black holes and the Big Bang. (f) Because of nuclear fission, the chemical elements that comprise us were made in bombs. 2. [28 points] In each of following (a) through (g), use all of the listed words in a single sentence that makes scientific sense. Underline each of those words where they appear. You will be assessed on both the sentence construction and the scientific accuracy. (a) voltage, power, current, circuit, [name of a car] (b) pressure, phase, fluid, compressible, gas, [name of a scientist] (c) duality, particle, quantum, uncertainty, Planck, [name of an animal] (d) force, electrostatic, charge, distance, coulomb, [name of a machine] (e) Higgs, collider, mass, field, particle, [name of a language] (f) wavelength, frequency, acoustic, velocity, light, [name of a singer] (g) alpha, beta, gamma, quantum, magnetism, [name of a food] 3. [18 points] In questions (a), (b), and (c), show all your calculations and units as applicable. You will be assessed both on your answers and your explanations of how you got them. (a) If Y kilograms of matter are converted into energy in a nuclear reaction, how many joules will be produced? (b) What is the frequency of a beam of light if its wavelength is Z meters? (c) Choose any other formula discussed in this class, write a question about it using the X that you calculated above, and solve the question. 4. [30 points] In each question (a) through (d) you will write a question appropriate for this exam and then give an answer about 15-30 words long. If the question can be answerable simply by looking up information from a book, it will not receive credit. You will be assessed both on the question’s quality and the answer’s correctness. (a) Write a question about Karl Popper’s ideas about science and falsification. Then answer it. (b) Write a question about the atomic structure of an element that is not hydrogen. Then answer it. (c) Write a question about Noether’s theorem and supersymmetry. Then answer it. (d) Write a question about physics and its connection to music and art. Then answer it.
