Document Summary

History is an interpretation of past events (distinct field: not just about everything that happened in the past. Events (astrologers: ex: rise of sirius star/ refs to eclipses etc. Archeology study of people in past societies through discovering & studying artifacts. Measure amount of carbon 14 and figure out the date of it: dendrochronology form of dating using tree rings, numismatics= another form of dating using coins. History and archeology are just 2 methods that are used when attempting to study the past. Land of mesopotamia moves from south to north: subartu, akkad, sumer, subartu= northern iraq, akkad= central iraq, sumer= southern iraq. Wheat and barley domesticated to become food: barley (image on ppt. ) A= domesticated (grains not released so easily) People got more food from domesticated barley. B= wild (grains released easily into grounds with strong winds) Civilization organized human society operating within a larger nation: there are 3 elements :

IF YOU DO NOT FEEL LIKE ANSWERING ALL THREE QUESTIONS DO NOT ATTEMPT TO ANSWER JUST ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ANSWER ALL THREE QUESTIONS ALL ALL SECTIONS OF EACH QUESTION TO RECEIVE A GOOD REVIEW.

2)Each of the nuclides listed below decays either by beta emission or by positron emission. Predict which type of decay each will undergo and select the nuclides that decay by beta emission. This list contains three beta emitters and three positron emitters.

¹¹⁷₄₇Ag

²⁰⁶₈₀Hg

²⁴₁₃Al

⁸₅B

¹⁵₆C

¹⁰₆C

3)One atom of ⁷₃Li has a mass of 7.016 amu. By comparison, one proton is 1.0072765 amu, one neutron is 1.0086650 amu and one electron is 0.0005486 amu. Perform these calculations for ⁷₃Li.

(a) Calculate the mass defect in amu for a single atom.
______________ amu

(b) Calculate the mass defect in kg for a single atom.
______________ kg

(c) Calculate the nuclear binding energy in J for a single atom.
______________ J

(d) Calculate the nuclear binding energy in kJ per mol of atoms.
______________ kJ/mol

(e) Calculate the nuclear binding energy per nucleon for a single atom.
______________J

4)Among the discoveries in an ancient archeological site is a wooden artifact that has been buried since the site was abandoned long ago. This wood is to be used to find the age of the site by radiocarbon dating. In modern living tissue, ¹⁴C has 0.00000000012% of the abundance of ¹²C (1.2 parts per trillion, ppt). The carbon isotopes in the wooden artifact are analyzed and it is found that its ¹⁴C has 0.741 ppt of the abundance of its ¹²C.

(a) How many years does it take for the abundance of ¹⁴C to decay from 1.2 ppt to 0.741 ppt? The half life of ¹⁴C is 5730 years.
_________ years

(b) Radiocarbon dating has been calibrated by comparing the radiocarbon ages of many thousands of samples to their actual ages, determined from things like historical artifacts, annual tree growth rings, annual coral growth rings, annual stalagmite growth rings, annual lake and ocean sediment deposition layers, annual glacial deposition layers, etc. Things that are known to be as old as the artifact in this site have been found to give radiocarbon dates that are approximately 475 years younger than their actual age. Use this to find the best estimate for the age of this archeological site.
________________years before present

Group Presentation

Each group will research and present the economic history of two decades in United States history. While I realize that decades are an artificial cutoff point, you will find many events that influenced the economy in each ten-year period. Considerations should include Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth, unemployment, inflation, international trade considerations, and currency valuation. Included in these are fiscal policy by the government and monetary policy from the Federal Reserve. Each student will speak for fifteen minutes on his/her portion of the group presentation, utilizing a well researched power point as an aid.. When the presentation is complete, I expect the class will have a good idea of what went on economically during that era. I attempt to grade students on an individual basis, but a cohesive group tends to improve all grades.

Remember, this is not a history assignment, but rather an economic assignment.

Decades and a few things that happened, but not everything that happened.

Group 2

1940s: World War II, Women in the workforce, Manufacturer to the world, Marshall Plan, GI Bill.

1950s: Television, Tract housing, Unions and Corporations
