Activity:to calculate by selecting appropriate operations for solving problems [lo 1.8.10]

It is very important to really understand and remember the following; otherwise you will not be able to perform easy (or difficult) operations, so that you will get wrong answers!

SEQUENCE OF CALCULATIONS TAKE NOTE AND LEARN THE

FOLLOWING!

The order in which calculations are done is:

1. Brackets

2. Of

3. Division

4. Multiplication

5. Addition

6. Subtraction

The following rules are also applicable:

1. When the operation is + only or x only, e.g. 6 + 3 + 9 + 5:

work from LEFT TO RIGHT.

2. When there is only + and − , e.g. 6 − 3 + 2 − 4 + 9:

work from LEFT TO RIGHT

Thus: 6 − 3 à 3 + 2 à 5 − 4 à 1 + 9 = 10

3. When you only have x and ¸ is, e.g. 2 x 24 ¸ 4 x 10 ¸ 5:

Work from LEFT TO RIGHT

Thus: 2 x 24 à 48 ¸ 4 à 12 x 10 à 120 ¸ 5 = 24

1. Let’s see if you are able to apply the preceding knowledge correctly. Work with a partner and calculate the following:

1.1 f = 9 + 6 ¸ 2 − 7 _____________________________________________

1.2 c = 7 − (18 + 2) ¸ 5___________________________________________

1.3 k = 23 − 16 + 4 − 3___________________________________________

1.4 e = 36 ¸ 12 x 4 ¸ 2_____________________________________________

You may use your pocket calculator now, but it might not help if you do not know the correct sequence of operations. If you are uncertain, read the previous page again. Try to complete the following table correctly:

Calculate Key to sequence Answer
E.g. 15 + 6 × 2 (6 × 2) + 15 27
2.1 496 + 39 × 27
2.2 852 + (23 × 18) − 256
2.3 7 705  (67 + 48)
2.4 3 600  30 + 82 × 10
2.5 2 934 − 816 + 905 − 205

Time for peer-assessment

How well do you know the last part of the work that we have been doing? Explain the following to a partner. Your partner can then assess you by circling the relevant code:

Altogether unsure Not very sure Fairly sure Very sure
I can explain what multiples are. (LO 1.3) 1 2 3 4
I can explain what factors are. (LO 1.3) 1 2 3 4
I can explain what prime numbers are. (LO 1.3) 1 2 3 4
I can use the constant function on my pocket calculator to determine multiples. (LO 1.8) 1 2 3 4
I can explain what a palindrome is. (LO 1.3) 1 2 3 4
I can explain the properties of 1 and 0 to my friend. (LO 1.3) 1 2 3 4
I know the sequence of calculations and can apply it correctly. (LO 1.8) 1 2 3 4

Assessment

Learning Outcome 1: The learner will be able to recognise, describe and represent numbers and their relationships, and to count, estimate, calculate and check with competence and confidence in solving problems.

Assessment Standard 1.8: We know this when the learner estimates and calculates by selecting and using operations appropriate to solving problems that involve:

1.8.10: multiple operations on whole numbers with or without brackets.

Questions & Answers

Three charges q_{1}=+3\mu C, q_{2}=+6\mu C and q_{3}=+8\mu C are located at (2,0)m (0,0)m and (0,3) coordinates respectively. Find the magnitude and direction acted upon q_{2} by the two other charges.Draw the correct graphical illustration of the problem above showing the direction of all forces.
Kate Reply
To solve this problem, we need to first find the net force acting on charge q_{2}. The magnitude of the force exerted by q_{1} on q_{2} is given by F=\frac{kq_{1}q_{2}}{r^{2}} where k is the Coulomb constant, q_{1} and q_{2} are the charges of the particles, and r is the distance between them.

What is the direction and net electric force on q_{1}= 5µC located at (0,4)r due to charges q_{2}=7mu located at (0,0)m and q_{3}=3\mu C located at (4,0)m?

what is a capacitor?
Raymond Reply
Capacitor is a separation of opposite charges using an insulator of very small dimension between them. Capacitor is used for allowing an AC (alternating current) to pass while a DC (direct current) is blocked.

which has a higher temperature, 1cup of boiling water or 1teapot of boiling water which can transfer more heat 1cup of boiling water or 1 teapot of boiling water explain your . answer
Ramon Reply
I believe temperature being an intensive property does not change for any amount of boiling water whereas heat being an extensive property changes with amount/size of the system.
Someone
Scratch that
Someone
temperature for any amount of water to boil at ntp is 100⁰C (it is a state function and and intensive property) and it depends both will give same amount of heat because the surface available for heat transfer is greater in case of the kettle as well as the heat stored in it but if you talk.....
Someone
about the amount of heat stored in the system then in that case since the mass of water in the kettle is greater so more energy is required to raise the temperature b/c more molecules of water are present in the kettle
Someone

how do lnternal energy measures

Two bodies attract each other electrically. Do they both have to be charged? Answer the same question if the bodies repel one another.
JALLAH Reply
No. According to Isac Newtons law. this two bodies maybe you and the wall beside you. Attracting depends on the mass och each body and distance between them.

Are you really asking if two bodies have to be charged to be influenced by Coulombs Law?

What is specific heat capacity
Destiny Reply
Specific heat capacity is a measure of the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of a substance by one degree Celsius (or Kelvin). It is measured in Joules per kilogram per degree Celsius (J/kg°C).
