The tables can be processed by CAD software to derive an efficient gate structurc of the design. None of Verilog's predefined primitives describes sequential logic. The model of a sequential UDP requires that its output be declared as a reg data type, and that a column be added to the truth table to describe the next state. So the columns are organized as inputs: state: next state.

Instead, a truth table has to be converted into a set of Boolean equations, which can be described by signal assignment statements.

Please help solving problem 1,2 and 3. Thank you very much. For questions 1 - 3, consider the following test results obtained for a surface water sample. lon Concentration (ppm) Ca2+ 36.0 Mg2+ 10.8 Na 12.4 K 5.9 нсоз" 82.1 SO42 32.0 CI 16.9 NO3 7.4 1. Check the accuracy of the analytical measurements. Do you suspect that a constituent of significance has been neglected? If so, is it a cation or an anion? 2. Determine the mole fraction of calcium, magnesium, and sulfate for the water sample given above. 3. Determine this water's hardness and alkalinity in mg/L as CaCO3.

Die-rolling experiment: 1) Acquire any "fair-enough" die. 2) Roll it at least 100 times (each person for themselves). 3) Note what the outcome is overy time. 4) For each group of 5 (go consecutively, i.e. group first five rolls, then the next five rolls, etc.), take the average of the 5 rolls. For example, if the first five rolls are \( 3,6,1 \), 5 , and 3 , Die-rolling experiment: 1) Acquire any "fair-enough" die. 2) Roll it at least 100 times (each person for themselves). 3) Note what the outcome is overy time. 4) For each group of 5 (go consecutively, i.e. group first five rolls, then the next five rolls, etc.), take the average of the 5 rolls. For example, if the first five rolls are \( 3,6,1 \), 5 , and 3 , the average will be \( 18 / 5=3.6 \). 5) You will end up with at least 20 averages. Plot these averages on a \( 2 \mathrm{D} \) column graph. Alternatively, you can do a histogram of your results, which will be a fancier way of doing a 2D column graph. With a histogram though, you can control the bin size and instead of each individual average (e.g. 3.2, 3.4. 3.6, etc.). you can group them together with a bin size of 1 . Bonus credits will be assigned to those showing their results with a histogram of bin size 1 in addition to their regular \( 2 \mathrm{D} \) column graphs. 6) All the probabilities of \( 1,2,3,4,5 \) and 6 are \( 1 / 6 \) with a fair die. Therefore, the probabilities are said to be "uniformly distributed". Then, why is your \( 2 D \) column graph / histogram not looking uniform at all? Speculate / comment on the rationale for this.

Which of the following statements is correct regarding Kepler's three laws of planetary motion? Angular momentum of any planet about an axis through the Sun and perpendicular to the orbital plane is not invariant during its motion. Planets move in elliptical orbits with the sun not being at its center. Orbital period of a planet is directly proportional to Which of the following statements is correct regarding Kepler's three laws of planetary motion? Angular momentum of any planet about an axis through the Sun and perpendicular to the orbital plane is not invariant during its motion. Planets move in elliptical orbits with the sun not being at its center. Orbital period of a planet is directly proportional to its distance from the sun. Kepler's laws are valid only for planets in the solar system.
