Which of the site in southern California are you most concern about? (Or if you’d like to checkout Superfund sites near your hometown, you may also do so.

When was the contamination first detected?

What’s the original source of contamination? (i.e. who did it?)

Exercise Questions:
4. What is the difference between reporting the quantity nine inches as 9 inches and 9.00
inches?
When the measurement is expressed in 9 inches, it may be rounded from any number
between 8.5 and 9.4. However, when the measurement is expressed in 9.00 inches, it
indicates that 9 is a number accurate to two decimal places, rather than rounded.
Even so, we can’t tell if 9 inches is a integer, because 9.003 isn’t ruled out.

13. What is density? Give two examples of possible units for density.
Density is the ratio of an object’s mass to its volume. Gram and kilogram.

of the following units:
a. meters 40,075,000 m

37. The following graph shows the concentration of an atmospheric pollutant, carbon
monoxide, for the period 1990–2015. As shown by this graph, carbon monoxide levels have
decreased in the atmosphere because of mandatory reductions legislated by the Clean Air
Act.
a. What is the total decrease in carbon monoxide over this period? 6.1 – 1.5 = 4.6 ppm
b. What is the average yearly decrease in carbon monoxide over this period?
4.6 / 25 = 0.184 ppm/yr

c. What is the total percentage decrease in carbon monoxide over this period?
4.6 / 6.1 x 100% = 75%
d. What is the average yearly percentage decrease in carbon monoxide over this period?
75% / 25 = 3% /yr

45. A metal cylinder has a radius of 0.55 cm and a length of 2.85 cm. Its mass is 24.3 grams.
a. What is the density of the metal? For a cylinder, V = π r 2 x h, where r is the radius of the
cylinder and h is the height of the cylinder. π = 3.14.
24.3 / (0.95 x 2.85) = 9 grams
b. Compare the density of the metal to the densities of various substances listed in Table
2.4. Can you identify the metal? Copper

Feature Problems and Projects:
52. Consider each of the following balances. Which one is the most precise? C. 5.4249 g
Which one is the least? A. 5.42 g
How much uncertainty is associated with each balance?
(5.42 + 5.424 + 5.4249) / 3 = 5.4229 g

A. 5.4229 – 5.42 = +0.0029 g
B. 5.4229 – 5.424 = +0.0011 g
C. 5.4229 – 5.4249 = +0.002 g

53. Each of the following coins is photographed to scale. Measure each using a metric ruler
(in cm) and record the diameter to the precision reflected in the ruler. Make a simple graph of
the value of the coin (x-axis) and the diameter of the coin (y-axis). Is there any correlation
between these two quantities? Which coin does not fit the general trend?

1. cent: 1.8 cm
2. 5-cents: 2cm
3. dime: 1.8 cm
4. quarter : 2.3 cm
5. half: 3cm
6. one: 3.8 cm

There is a correlation between these two quantities. As the value of a coin increases, so
does its diameter, except for the dime.

Example A1.1

  • Is there a possibility of plagiarism in my completed order?

    We complete each paper from scratch, and in order to make you feel safe regarding its authenticity, we check our content for plagiarism before its delivery. To do that, we use our in-house software, which can find not only copy-pasted fragments, but even paraphrased pieces of text. Unlike popular plagiarism-detection systems, which are used by most universities (e.g. Turnitin.com), we do not report to any public databases—therefore, such checking is safe.

    We provide a plagiarism-free guarantee that ensures your paper is always checked for its uniqueness. Please note that it is possible for a writing company to guarantee an absence of plagiarism against open Internet sources and a number of certain databases, but there is no technology (except for turnitin.com itself) that could guarantee no plagiarism against all sources that are indexed by turnitin. If you want to be 100% sure of your paper’s originality, we suggest you check it using the WriteCheck service from turnitin.com and send us the report.

  • I received some comments from my teacher. Can you help me with them?

    Yes. You can have a free revision during 7 days after you’ve approved the paper. To apply for a free revision, please press the revision request button on your personal order page. You can also apply for another writer to make a revision of your paper, but in such a case, we can ask you for an additional 12 hours, as we might need some time to find another writer to work on your order.

    After the 7-day period, free revisions become unavailable, and we will be able to propose only the paid option of a minor or major revision of your paper. These options are mentioned on your personal order page.

  • How will I receive a completed paper?

    You will get the first version of your paper in a non-editable PDF format within the deadline. You are welcome to check it and inform us if any changes are needed. If everything is okay, and no amendments are necessary, you can approve the order and download the .doc file. If there are any issues you want to change, you can apply for a free revision and the writer will amend the paper according to your instructions. If there happen to be any problems with downloading your paper, please contact our support team.
  • Where do I upload files?

    When you submit your first order, you get a personal account where you can track all your orders, their statuses, your payments, and discounts. Among other options, you will have a possibility to communicate with your writer via a special messenger. You will be able to upload all information and additional materials on your paper using the “Files” tab on your personal page. Please consider uploading everything you find necessary for our writer to perform at the highest standard.
