    This document contains a 4 question physics problem set. The questions involve: 1) Converting the speed of light to feet per nanosecond 2) Determining the maximum difference between a rounded number and the original number 3) Explaining a linear model used by anthropologists to determine height from femur length and using the model to calculate height from a femur measurement 4) Calculating total displacement from a starting point after walking at angles and distances

    Name: _____________________________ Grade 12 – STEM

    PROBLEM SET 1
    GENERAL PHYSICS 1 (STEM STRAND)
    Directions: Solve the following problems systematically. Show all pertinent solution.

    1. The speed of light is 3 x 108 m/s. Convert this to feet/nanosecond.


    2. A number A is correctly rounded to 3.18 from a given number B. Then |A – B| < C, where C is
    ___________. (A) 0.005 (B) 0.01 (C) 0.18 (D) 0.09999
    Explain your answer.
    3. Anthropologists use a linear model that relates femur length to
    height. The model allows an anthropologist to determine the height of
    an individual when only a partial skeleton (including the femur) is
    found. In this problem we find the model by analyzing the data on
    femur length and height for the ten males given in the table.
    The linear equation that models the data is
    y = 1.88074x + 82.6497
    (a.) Explain the model.
    (b.) An anthropologist finds a femur of length 58 cm. How tall was the person?
    4. A hiker walks 53.1 degrees north of east for 2.5km then due east for 2.0km. What is her total
    displacement from her starting point if you measure the distance along a straight line?
