Chapter 13, Problem 4RQ
A growing field of inquiry that poses both great promise and greet risk for humans is nanotechnology, the construction of extremely small machines. Over the past couple of decades the size that a working gear can be made has consistently gotten smaller. The table shows milestones along this path.
- a. Show the resulting data and trendline, with equation and R2 value on the appropriate graph type (xy scatter, semilog or log–log) to make the data appear linear.
- b. According to this model, how many years does it take (from any point in time) for the minimum size to be cut in half?
- c. According to the model during what year will the smallest gear be one-tenth the size of the smallest gear in 2009?

- 25. A student wants to perform an experiment where they have to measure the time interval for a ball bearing rolling down a slope (as with your first practical), in order to determine the acceleration on the ball-bearing. They take 1 measurement for every distance (they move the end of the measuring equipment 10 cm further way every time), and then they plot a graph. This graph comes out with very scattered values that do not form a straight line at all. What could be the reason for this? Choose all correct answers. A. They should have taken more than one measurement at every distance. B. The stopping wires might have malfunctioned sometimes, so they should have made sure that the stopping wires only touched the metal when the ball bearing rolled over it. C. The graph is fine with only one value measured per distance. It is the acceleration that was not consistent. Nothing needs to be changed. D. The graph axes need to be adjusted to make the data show a straight line.arrow_forwardI need help with this question. :)arrow_forwardO His movement stopped. O His time was constant.
