Question

Please read the "Theory" ection in full in order to answer these questions correctly Problem 1: Which of the f ollowing are components of critical thinkäing? (May have multiple right answers) A set of information processing skills to guide behavior [1 point] and belief generating and processing skills i) The habit, based on intellectual commitment, of using information and bellef Acquisition and retention of information for future purpose Possession of a set of skills iv) v)Use of possessed skills without acceptance and/or understanding the result Problem 2 Example on how critical thinking worksl Here is the setup 13 points) Two beakers of water that have the same initial temperature and the same depth of water and are set at the same time on identical hot plates adjusted to the same setting. 2 has a base that is twice the areas as the beaker in case 1. Which beaker of water reaches boiling point in less time, or do they reach boiling point at the same time? Justify your answer in coherent, paragraph-length response The beaker in case (Below I am even providing you with partial solutionl): A student attempting to respond the above problem writes the following sentences. The sentences are all corn ect and make up a full- credit response, but the sentences are mixed up and out of logical order. In the blanks next to each sentence, write numbers to put the sentences in appropriate order. ("1 will the first sentence in the paragraph, "8" will be the last). A. The beaker in case 2 has twice the area of the base but the same height, so twice the volume B. Time to boil is inversely proportional to the rate at which thermal energy is transferred to the water. -C. If 2 has twice the volume, then 2 has twice the mass as Mass-Density X Volume -D. The beaker in case 2 has twice the area of contact as in Case 1. E. Both beakers of water reach the boiling point at the same temperature. F. Thermal energy enter beaker 2 twice as fast since it has twice the area. -G. Time to reach boiling point is directly proportional to the amount of mass of water -H. Since mass increases time by double, and area of contact reduces the time by half, both effects cancel out. 107

Explanation / Answer

Problem 1 : The components of critical thinking are (i), (ii), (iii).

Problem 2 : The order should be E ,D, F,B, A,C,G,H  

Problem 3 : In this problem the second step is incorrect, it should be 10 * 10 cents not 10 cents * 10 cents which has no meaning.

$1 = 100 cents

$1 = 10 * 10 cents

$1 = 10 * $(1/10)

$1 = $1

hence proved.

Problem 4 : 4.5 miles will be the answer. First we observe the speed of the man and the distance left. Using the above information time can be calculated. So this is the time dog will keep running. Now we know the time and the speed of the dog so distance can be easily calculated using D = S x T

time = distance / speed  

time = 3/2 = 1.5 hours.

therefore distance by dog = 3 x 1.5 = 4.5 miles.

Problem 5 : The stuntman will sustain more injuries falling on concrete blocks because the concrete blocks are hard. They won't compress when weight is put on them while foam mattresses are soft and easily compressed. Therefore they act like shock absorbers while concrete being hard does not.
