Describe the accomplishments and cite the year the accomplishments were achieved by the following scientists who were studying the way our atmosphere works:
a. Jean – Baptist Fourier
b. John Tyndall
c. Svante Arrhenius
d. Guy Stewart Callendar
e. Hans Seuss and Roger Revelle
f. The international Panel on Climate Change
What will be an ideal response?
a. Jean – Baptist Fourier: 1827. He figured out that the chemical composition of the atmosphere absorbs energy reflected from the surface of the planet and trapped heat from the sun.
b. John Tyndall: 1860. He measured the effects of CO2 and water vapor on the absorption of energy radiated from the surface of the planet.
c. Svante Arrhenius: 1896. He estimated the effects that increasing CO2 concentrations would have on the Earth’s average surface temperature.
d. Guy Stewart Callendar: 1938. He published a paper on the influence that CO2 has on the temperature.
e. Hans Seuss and Roger Revelle: 1957. They coined the “calendar effect” as the change in climate by the increase in CO2.
f. The international Panel on Climate Change: 2007. The statement on the current status. IPCC is a group of scientists from many nations on the planet that are trying to better understand the earth’s climate.

Standing at the edge of the roof of a tall building, you throw a ball upward with a velocity of 15 m/s (meters per second). The ball goes straight up and begins its downward descent just missing the edge of the building. The building is 40 m tall.
(a) What is the velocity of the ball at its uppermost position? (b) How high above the building does the ball go before beginning its descent? (c) What is the velocity of the ball as it passes the roof of the building? (d) What is the speed of the ball just before it hits the ground? (e) How long does it take for the ball to hit the ground after leaving your hand?

Technician A says to grind less than 0.020" from the tip of a valve stem to avoid grinding through the hardened area. Technician B says that the tip should be ground approximately the same amount as the face and seat in order to minimize valve guide wear by centering the rocker arm on the stem tip when the valve is half open. Who is right?
A. ?Technician A only B. ?Technician B only C. ?Both A and B D. ?Neither A nor B
