...Tom Hubsch Physics 10/1/13 8. When a car moves along the highway at a constant velocity, the net force on it is zero. Why, then, do you continue running your engine? The engine continues to run because there is force working against the vehicle. The tires rolling along the pavement create friction, as well as wind resistance hitting your windshield, create a force that can only be counteracted by the engine creating an equal or greater opposing foce. 17. You hold an apple over your head. a. Identify all the forces acting on the apple and their reaction forces. b. When you drop the apple, identify all the forces acting on it as it falls and the corresponding reaction forces. A. My arm is a force holding the apple in the air, and gravity is pulling the apple downward. B. When I drop the apple, my arm is no longer a factor, but gravity still pulls the apple downward toward the Earth. 25. Suppose the two carts, one twice as massive as the other, fly apart when the compressed spring that joins them is released. How fast does the heavier cart roll compared with the lighter cart? Newton’s Second Law states that Force=mass times acceleration. So to find acceleration, you will divide force by mass. This means that the heavier cart will have half of the acceleration as the lighter cart. 33. Why is it that a cat that falls from the top of a 50-story building will hit a safety net below no faster than if it fell from the 20th story? As the cat falls, it begins to accelerate...

...One of Tanning’s closest colleagues in Paris, Georges Visat served as the printmaker for each of these three engravings. Born in Foce Di Mela, France in 1910, Visat became an experienced intaglio engraver after working as an apprentice to a master printer in Paris, later buying the studio in 1937. For Tanning’s engravings, Visat used the process of sugar lift to transfer the value and shape of Tanning’s brushstrokes on the engraving plate. In order to achieve this effect, a sugar ink solution is painted onto an engraving plate, then using a bath of a soft ground, the sugar solution is covered in preparation for an aquatint to create the outline. After this, the sugar solution is dissolved and washed away allowing the final print to be created with aquatint. In this process, a copper engraving plate is dusted with granulated resin, which is melted forming a mist of resin...

...1) The first crucial problem that the HSBC, also known as Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corporation, task force has to confront within Japan are the language barriers that are present. As a general policy of the corperation, it states that the official medium within the HSBC, is that communication takes place in the English language, which is also a language that is not very familiar with the community of Japan. In order to achieve the goal that involves recruiting bilingual personnel whose tongues remain fluent in both the English and Japanese language, the HSBC bank has to create payment of salaries that are 20 – 40 percent above the said market rate. This will cause a drastic increase within the operation costs within the Japanese branches of HSBC. As it can be quite challenging in the recruiting of bilingual personnel, whose tongues will remain fluent in both the English and Japanese language, who are suitable, whereas, dismissing their services may be even more of a greater challenge to the HSBC. Japan possesses a long history of “lifetime employment”, and this will create much difficulty when situations arise about dismissing personnel due to their incompetence. Time periods will differ with negotiations that may involve asking unwanted personnel to leave HSBC. Another complication that is arising of the members of the HSBC is the process of slow decision making. The HSBC task force requires accelerating decision making to produce an increasingly impressive amount of profit...

...and to accommodate their large size and service requirements Safety: The high spee ds, fuel tanks, atmospheric conditions at higher altitudes, natural hazards like thunderstorms and bird strikes and human error are some of the Problems that leads a threat to air travel. The national regulatory authorities have set standards for airworthiness, issue certificates to manufarers and operators and the standards of personnel training. The ai rcraft manufacturer has to ensure that that the aircraft meets existing design standards, defines the operating limitations and maintenance schedu les and provides support and maintenance throughout the operational life of the aircraft. The operator include the passenger and the cargo aeroplanes, air foces and ors of private aircraft. They agreed to follow the regulations set by the regulatory bodies, understand the limitations of the aircraft as specified by the manufacturer,and report defects Most of the design criticisms these days are built on crash worthinessw. Even with t he greatest attention towards airworthiness, accidents are still occurring in day to day life. Crashworthiness is the qualitative evaluation of how aircraft survive an accit.

...Promotional and Advertising Strategies Nike and Under Armour Contemporary Business BUS08 December 6, 2014 Promotional and Advertising strategies are similar but at the same time very different. The advertising strategy is designed to sell a product. It is basically one way communications from the company to the consumer. This provides the consumer information to make a purchasing decision (Schermerhorn, Osborn, Uhl-Bien, & Hunt, 2012). Where as a promotional strategy is two way communications designed to increase sales and attract new customers. This is can be referred to as Branding. One key difference is promotional strategies give away something; this could be a free product or money off attracting consumers who would not be attracted under normal circumstances. This paper will investigate two top athletic apparel companies to understand their strategies. The two companies chosen for this project are Nike Incorporated and Under Armour. These two companies are two of the leading sports apparel companies. Both of these company’s focus their products on the athlete and specific sports.

...Study Questions for Exam 1, Fall 2012 Theme 1: The Japanese Family System, structure and functions Please remember to use your class readings when applicable to answer the following study questions. Where relevant, think which reading and /or video would illustrate your answer. Why is the family important to study? How have its functions changed and why? The family is important to study because it is the primary agent for socialization. It is the first unit that teaches the rules of society to children. One of the two social entities recognized universally, the other is religion. The function of family has changed over time because it has shifted from an extended family to more of a nuclear family. The functions of a family: Protection, affection, procreation, production, education transfer of status. What are the three important differences between family systems in East Asia and the United States? Explain each. 1. Confucian values- places emphasis on loyalty and obedience to the group and its leader, where the United states has individualism 2. Gender Inequality- In east asia there is a patrinlean and multi-generational system, with the inheritence rights traveling down the male line, where in united states its bi-lateral and emphasis is placed on nuclear family. 3. Demographic Transition- Change from high fertility high mortality to a low fertility and mortality rates causing an aging population. Same in US but there is more immigration to...

...At this time, unfortunately, a convergence in terminology has not been forthcoming and, hence, a definition of the term Micro-Machining to be implied in the context of this assessment is in order. In principle, one may take two viewpoints:(1) The first viewpoint may define Micro-Machining as the collection of all cutting operations that are performed on micro/meso-scale components and products that fall into the 100 μm to 10,000 μm size range as shown in the figure below. The Micro-Machining regime is characterized by the requirement of producing high accuracy complex geometric features in a wide variety of materials in the above-defined size range. These requirements impose the use of considerably downsized tooling (micro-tools, e.g. endmills in the 50 to 500 micron diameter range), small undeformed chip thicknesses and feedrates (submicron to a few microns) and speed settings (50K to 200K RPM might not be uncommon) that would be considered technologically infeasible at the conventional macro-scale. As a consequence, the principal distinction between Macro and Micro-Machining operations emerges and manifests itself as the dominance of ploughing and rubbing phenomena at the cutting edge over shearing and the necessity to take micro-structural effects into consideration. (2) The second viewpoint approaches the definition of the Micro-Machining regime from the standpoint of the magnitude of the undeformed chip thickness being removed in the cutting process. It is difficult to define...

...MARKETTING OF FINANCIAL SERVICES IN A DEREGULATED ECONOMY KEHINDE OLORUNDARE. CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY The domain of marketing has been proven by Levitt (1988) and Kotler (1980), among others to transcend the tangible products areas. Increasingly, intangibles (including financial services) have benefited from the pervasive advantage that marketing can offer. Today, persons, ideas and in fact, doctrines are daily sold to us. Financial services (and intangible product) is one of the important services provided by banks in the economic sub-sector in Nigeria and whose employment of marketing service is becoming more noticeable and acknowledge. The financial services is becoming more noticeable and acknowledge. The financial services sector has in recent years been among the fastest growing areas in the Nigerian economy. Progressive deregulation, starting with free banking ad decentralized foreign exchange market to the lifiting of interest rates ceiling and structural adjustment programme had dramatically altered the operating environment facing suppliers of financial services. These changes in conjunctions with decreases in personal income and wealth, contraction in other sectors of the economy, trends towards globalization and developments in information technology have created an increasingly competitive and demand driven financial sector. As a consequence of these changes, the sector has witnessed considerable...
