Make sure you know the tables for bases units, prefixes, and conversions. 7. What is the difference between being accurate and being precise? 8. Calculate the number of seconds in one year (365 days) (express your answer in scientific notation) (3.15 x 10 s) Show dimensional analysis. 9. One million seconds equals how many days? (11.57 days) Show dimensional analysis. 10. What is the speed of a car in m/s that is traveling at 60 km/hour? (16.67 m/s) analysis. Show dimensional 11. What is the velocity of Molly (a dog) who runs 4 blocks chasing a cat in 15 seconds, then stops for 30 seconds because the cat has climbed a tree. She then sees a squirrel and takes off running for 20 blocks for 10 seconds. (Hint: draw a picture 12. Calculate the slope of the line, if 2 of the points are (2.5, 4) and (6, 14.5). 13. The white-rumped sandpiper (a bird) migrates from north of the Arctic Circle to the southern tip of South America. During one leg of its migration, the sandpiper travels 2900 miles in three days of non-stop flight. What is the average speed in mi/h of the sandpiper during this leg of its migration? (40.3 mi/h) 14. An elevator moves down 4 floors (1 floor = 4 meters) in a time of 25 seconds, and then rises up 8 floors in 50 seconds. What was the average velocity of the elevator for the entire trip? (0.21 m/s) 15. Light traveling at 3 x 10 m/s will take 4.2 years to reach Alpha Centauri. How many meters away is this star? (3.97 x 10 m)
