The last day of classes but the first day of review for the Final
Exam.
Not only that but an In-Class Optional
Assignment as well. The completeness of your answer to
Question #10 on the assignment will determine how many extra credit
points you receive (up to 0.5 pts) The assignment could be turned
in during class or you can turn it in during the review on Thursday
afternoon. I haven't decided for sure, but there may well be
another Optional Assignment handed out during the review on Thursday
afternoon.
The following figures are from today's review. Some of the
figures may differ from those drawn in class. Mostly I just try
to neaten them up a little bit. The large numbers at the top left
of each figure refer to sections on the Final
Exam Study Outline.
Thinning of the ozone layer in the
stratosphere is not the cause of climate change and global
warming. The small additional amount of UV light arriving at the
ground will not cause global warming. That UV light can cause
skin cancer and cataracts, that sort of thing, but not global warming.
If you remind me, I'll write the ideal gas law equations down on
the board so that you can refer to them during the exam.
Gravity pulls downward on parcels
of air. The fact that pressure pushing upward on the bottom of a
balloon is a little stronger than the pressure higher up pushing down
on the top of the balloon results in an upward pressure difference
force. The upward pressure difference force is the bouyant force
mentioned in Archimedes law.
