2.04 Thermal Energy and Chemical Change Lab Report
Instructions: In this engineering lab, you will build trains to reach the finish line without crashing. You will need to repeat tests of your device to make sure it does not need to be redesigned or improved. Complete all the areas shaded in purple. Note: If you cannot complete this lab as directed, please contact your instructor for assistance.

Part 1: Thermal Energy
Lab Objective:
The goal of the lab is to build steam engine trains that can carry cargo to the end of three different tracks.
Part 2: Energy Engineers
To create working trains, you will need to learn about the different parts that power the train. Take notes on each part.
Is this an endothermic or exothermic process?
Evaporative cooler
This is an endothermic process because it brings in hot air and blows cool air out. Woodburning heater
This is an exothermic process because it releases heat and changes the form of the wood. Steam engine
This is an exothermic process because heat is released when you burn coal. Part 3: Runaway Train
You will need tools to design a train that can make it to the target station without crashing. Select each tool in the virtual lab and describe how it could help your train design.
Steam Engine
Train car
Spring
Helium balloon
Wood-burning
heaters
Evaporative
coolers
This will help my train travel
to and from the desired destination This will allow my cargo boxes to travel
along with the train. This will be put
in the bottom of the train car
to protect panda from getting in a crash. This will be put
in the front and back of my
train incase we
need to cross water or a path with no train track
This can be used to make our trip 30% faster This can be used to make our trip 20% faster Design Ideas
Describe three design ideas you have for your train. But first, consider these design limitations.
Each train needs at least one train car, one panda, one cargo box, and a steam engine.
The train tracks will have two hills.
One train track has some tracks missing.
You can use additional tools in your train design to get to the finish line.
Train 1 on Track 1
Train 2 on Track 2
Train 3 on Track 3
The first thing would be the steam engine in front of the train car.
Then I would put a cargo box for panda to sit on and behind panda will be a evaporation cooler and helium balloons with 2 springs on each wheel
The first thing was the steam engine infront of the train car
Then I put a cargo with panda in it and behind him was a wood burning heater
I added springs to that it wouldn’t crash because of the 30%speed the wood heater gave and finally I added baloons just in case I needed the train to float
The first thing was the steam engine infront of the train car
Then I put a cargo with panda in it and behind him was a wood burning heater
I added springs and baloons because of the missing train tracks. Data: Record the results of each of the test run you make to the train station. Be sure to describe any changes you make to your train to improve your design between test runs.
Train 1 on Track 1
Train 2 on Track 2
Train 3 on Track 3

Pre-Lab Exercise 4
1. In this experiment, simple chemical reactions are used to generate small quantities of hydrogen and
oxygen gases. These methods would be too expensive and too complicated if large quantities of these
gases were needed, however. Use your textbook, a chemical encyclopedia, or an online source to look
up the major industrial methods of preparing very large quantities of these gases. Summarize your
findings here.

In 2021, Beta Corporation earned gross profits of $790,000.
a. Suppose that Beta was financed by a combination of common stock and $1.03 million of debt. The interest rate on the debt was
9%, and the corporate tax rate in 2021 was 21%. How much profit was available for common stockholders after payment of
interest and corporate taxes?
b. Now suppose that instead of issuing debt, Beta was financed by a combination of common stock and $1.03 million of preferred
stock. The dividend yield on the preferred was 7%, and the corporate tax rate was still 21%. Recalculate the profit available for
common stockholders after payment of preferred dividends and corporate taxes.
Note: Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answers in dollars not millions and round your answers to the
nearest whole dollar amount.

Dr. X claims that she has found a new remedy (carrot extract) to cure acne. She scores an interview with the science writer for a local newspaper, and gets a brief article written about her and her claims in that newspaper. The article does not contain any experimental evidence, but mentions that Dr. X accidentally splashed some carrot extract on her face and found that the acne was reduced a few days later. Student Y finds the article and cites it as a source for a paper he is writing for class, as evidence that acne has been cured.
(a) Is this finding a fact, a theory, a hypothesis, or an observation? Explain why you think so.
(b) Was it OK for Student Y to use the newspaper article as evidence for his paper? Explain why or why not.

You are working for SETI, the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence. One day, you receive a radio communication from an alien intelligence. Although you cannot understand their language, they have included some photos from an ILove Lucy episode. The photos allow you to determine that it is the episode in which Lucy makes a television commercial on Vitameatavegamin. This episode first aired on CBS on May 5, 1952. Before running to your supervisor to tell him the news, you quickly determine how far away in light-years the alien civilization is.
