1. If the energy of a photon is given by the equation E = hv, where
h is known as Planck's constant, and has the value of h = 4.136 x
10-15 eV -s, then complete the following table. Please note: the unit
called an electron volt (eV) is a unit of energy whose value is compa-
rable to the values seen in atomic transitions, and a Hertz is Hz = 1/s.

A balloon, in the shape of a right circular cylinder, is being inflated in such a way that the radius and
height are both increasing at the rate of 3 cm/s and 8 cm/s, respectively. What is the rate of change
of its total surface area when its radius and height are 60 cm and 140 cm, respectively?

- Instructions: Your task is to create a model in response to the prompts in the question below. Be sure to apply a model from this class and include the relevant diagram(s) for that model. And don’t forget to use the Claim, Evidence, Reasoning framework to present your solution. Phenomenon: Runaway Truck Ramp A truck was driving on a highway at 30 m/s when its brakes gave out. The driver steered it onto a “runaway truck ramp”, consisting of an upward ramp (rising 12 meters vertically over 120 meters horizontally), and ending with a compressible barrier which you can model as a giant spring with spring constant “k”. The compressible barrier can be compressed by a maximum 0.5 meters before it stops working. Graphic attached Values: Mass of the truck: 20 metric tons (1 metric ton = 1000kg). Mass of the driver: Choose a reasonable value. Truck Ramp Dimensions: 12 meters vertical, 120 meters horizontal Spring constant k= 6.0 x 107 J/m2.
