I – A Time-scale Model of the Universe A scale model of the solar system, according to distances between planets, would fit all the planets and the Sun within the boundaries of a football field – if Earth were the size of a peppercorn. In this activity, we compressed space. But scale models can also compress time. These can be called "temporal scale models." In this part of today’s lab, you will use the calendar of the year to show when significant events took place in the universe, which is thought to be 13.8 billion years! It’s so difficult to consider just how old the universe is, that if we compress time to that of a calendar year on Earth, we can visually see how vast that time is. In this model, we will compress 13.8 billion years into one calendar year, which means that one second on our calendar will be equal to 438 years. One day on our calendar is equal to 37.8 million years. Here are the events you need to transcribe onto your graphic calendars. In the column on the right, calculate the approximate number of years before today that the event took place!

Afisherman notices that his boat is moving up and down periodically without any horizontal motion, owing to waves on the surface of the water. it takes a time of 2.20 s for the boat to travel from its highest point to its lowest, a total distance of 0.670 m . the fisherman sees that the wave crests are spaced a horizontal distance of 5.80 m apart. (a) how much is the wavelength? (b) find the period of the wave. (c) how fast are the waves traveling? (d) what is the amplitude a of each wave?
