Q1 . The authors cite the explanation of Thomas Kuhn (author of The Structure of Scientific Revolutions) of how a change of 'looking at the world' (Khun's term is "paradigm shift") within the practice of science takes place. The authors compare the views of Copernicus and Ptolemy regarding the structure of our solar system as an example:

a.Copernicus and Ptolemy used the same assumptions to organize a different set of facts and came to the same conclusion.

b.Copernicus and Ptolemy used different assumptions to organize a different set of facts and came to the same conclusion.

c.Copernicus and Ptolemy used different assumptions to organize the same set of facts and came to different conclusions.

d.Copernicus and Ptolemy used the same assumptions to organize a different set of facts and came to different conclusions.

Q2. "So how do scientists learn these organizing ideas? The usual way is by studying with other people who know what they're doing." Which of the choices below is the correct set of parts of speech for describing the term?

a."Organizing" is an adjective, "ideas" is a noun.

b."Organizing" is a verb, "ideas" is a noun.

c."Organizing" is a gerundive, "ideas" is a synecdoche.

Q3. Quoting the authors, "Technically, a paradigm is

a.how one goes about organizing ideas in a particular way."

b.what the study of anthropology is all about."

c.the cultural code that makes the example make sense."

Q4. Malinowski enumerates his "three principles of method" that he found leads to "success" in one's ethnographic research. (Identify the choice that does not belong.)

a.The student should have earned an advanced degree in anthropology from Cambridge or Drexel.

b.The student must approach the study scientifically, and know the values and criteria of modern ethnography.

c.The student ought to live alone with the natives, without other Westerners around.

d.The student has to apply a number of special methods of collecting, manipulating, and "fixing" the evidence that has been gathered.

Q5. Quoting Malinowski: "Our considerations thus indicate that the goal of ethnographic field work must be appreciated through three avenues:     (Identify the choice that DOES NOT belong)

a.The organization of the tribe, and the anatomy of its culture...

b.The organizing ideas that determine the cultural codes of the tribe.

c.the imponderabilia of actual life and the type of behavior have to be filled in.

"He should not have built the fire under the spruce tree. He should have built it in the open. But it had been easier to pull the twigs from the brush and drop them directly on the fire. Now the tree under which he had done this carried a weight of snow on its boughs. No wind had blown for weeks, and each bough was fully freighted. Each time he had pulled a twig he had communicated a slight agitation to the tree - an imperceptible agitation, so far as he was concerned, but an agitation sufficient to bring about the disaster. High up in the tree one bough capsized its load of snow. This fell on the boughs beneath, capsizing them. This process continued, spreading out and involving the whole tree. It grew like an avalanche, and it descended without warning upon the man and the fire, and the fire was blotted out!"

A double slit experiment is conducted with a red laser with wavelength l = 700 nm. The distance between the slits and the viewing screen is L = 2.00 m. Consider two experiments that have different slit spacings: Experiment A with dA = 2.00 μm and Experiment B with dB = 40.0 μm. For each experiment, calculate the following (be sure to keep at least three significant figures in all your intermediate calculations):

a)

  1. Using Δr = d sinθ , calculate the angle, q1, for the first maximum (constructive interference) above the central maximum. Experiment A and Experiment B

b)

  1. Using the angle you calculated in part a) and y = L tanθ , calculate y1, the location on the screen of the first maximum.Experiment A and Experiment B

A chemist is performing four experiments and each experiment has five results. The results for each experiment are given in the following table. An experiment is considered successful if the average of the five test results for a given experiment is between 25 and 32. Using a nested loop, write a script that (Python):

- Compute and display the test results average for each experiment

- Indicate is the experiment was successful or not

1st Results 49.1 15.8 16.9 25.2 33.4
2nd Results 34.8 45.2 27.9 36.8 23.4
3rd Results 26.4 16.8 10.2 15.8 18.9

The pier in Santa Monica, CA, is a popular destination for both tourists and locals. Visitors ride the Ferris wheel (F), eat ice cream (C), or just walk around on the pier (W). Write a dynamical model for the numbers of people engaged in these activities given the following assumptions. (Hint: Start by drawing a diagram of this system and labeling the stocks and flows. People entering the pier always start by just walking around. E people enter the pier each minute. Visitors leave at a constant per capita rate d. They can leave only when they are walking around. Due to fear of nausea, people do not go directly from eating ice cream to riding the Ferris wheel. Visitors prefer to go on the Ferris wheel with friends. Thus, the probability that any one individual will go on the Ferris wheel is proportional to the number of people walking around, with proportionality constant b. Riders leave the Ferris wheel at per capita rate n. When visitors leave the Ferris wheel, a fraction z of them go directly to eating ice cream. The others walk around. Visitors who are walking around prefer to avoid long lines for ice cream. Thus, the per capita rate at which they get ice cream is proportional to the inverse of the number of people already doing so, with proportionality constant m. People who are eating ice cream stop doing so at a constant per capita rate k.
