The post has two assignments

1:The Sniper by Liam O’ Flaherty

Paper details:

Question:
1) What does the reader learn about the sniper in the first three paragraphs?
2) What are some of the physical hardship that the sniper faces? How does he deal with these hardships?
3) What does the sniper discover when he turns the dead soldier over?
4) Why does the sniper feel no hesitation about killing the man in the tank or the woman informer?
5) Reread the passage in which the sniper kills his enemy with the revolver. What is his first reaction when the smoke clears? When he sees the dying soldier fall, how does his reaction change? Why does the sniper being to curse?
6) What drives the sniper to discover the identity of the enemy?
7) Does the story make a convincing statement against war? Explain your answer.
(Complete all these question’s answer and each answer has 1 quote related to the answer
Description quote must include page no and don’t use long quote)
8) Theme: When trying to determine theme, it is important to consider all the elements of the story. For example, writer often present their ideas through characters, especially through those whose views change drastically.
Think about the changes in the sniper’s attitude. Find passages that show how he feels about the enemy and the war at the beginning of the story. At what point does his attitude change? Why? How does he feel at the end of the story? What is your reaction to the final sentence? What is the writer saying about this war? About all war? Can you think of more than one interpretation of “brother’s face” in the last line?
(complete this question’s answer with in two sentence )

2:How does the input flow rate of water affect the equilibrium height of water in a water column?

Paper details:

IB Physics Internal Assessment:
-Criteria to get a high grade (important) [https://ibpublishing.ibo.org/server2/rest/app/tsm.xql?doc=d_4_physi_gui_1402_1_e&part=9&chapter=5]
-Structure to follow:
1. Introduction
-why did I choose this experiment? (same flow of water in everyday life therefore interested me: fountains, pools, bathroom..)
– explain the experiment (I used a beaker which measures volume to get the volume of the water at a certain speed. With the same speed of water later I used another beaker with holes to see the equilibrium height)
2. Variables
-Independent (flow rate of water into column)
– Dependent (equilibrium height- height above external point in column wall)
-Controls (type of water, temperature of water, cycle of water)
3.Apparatus
4.Method
– first part (calibration of flow rate)
-second part (equilibrium height)
5.Data
-Raw Data
-first chart (it is in the excel document )
-second chart (it is in the excel document )
-Diagram (the diagram is in the excel document. it should be completed with the max and min slopes and uncertainties. It should be height (cm) over flow rate (R)) The outliner is given by a small systematic error.
6. the theory should be that h is proportional to R (flow rate). h=gradient R
7.Evaluation
-Answer RQ
-Explain why h is proportional to R
-Weaknesses of the experiment, why my line was’t proportional and what could have been done better next time (measuring time of flow- human error (and solution to it), some water was left in the beaker before the next measurment…)
