rise another 20 percent between 2009 and 2014. This makes it appear that the industry’s prospects for growth and profits are great for the future. 2. How strong are the competitive forces confronting Sift and other specialty bakers? Which one of the five competitive forces is the strongest? Prepare a five-forces analysis to support your answer. There are significant competitors in their marketplace when looking at numbers given by Yelp. However, they feel as if they only have one main competitor

static friction. Keywords: static friction, coefficient of static friction, critical angle 1. Introduction Friction is the force that opposes motion. It is the resistance of surfaces moving against one another. It is a force that plays a very important role in our lives. Without it, we cannot walk, do our daily chores, and even slide endlessly due to external forces. This phenomenon remained unknown to the early people until Leonardo Da Vinci (1452-1519) studied and analyzed its importance in

we will discuss mental models and mindsets, and how they play a role in affecting our employees. We will do this by discussing steps to changing mental models and mindsets. We will also talk about the forces that affect the mental models and mindsets. After discussing the steps to change and the forces that affect us, we will go over the most commonly used mental models and mindsets. We will then try to examine which mental models and mindsets are affecting our employees. Knowing these things will

affect the speed of the object. We arrived at this conclusion by rolling five marbles with different masses down a small scale roller coaster and recording how long it took each marble to roll from the starting point to the ending point of the roller coaster. The data from our investigation is the amount of time it took each marble to go down our roller coaster in seconds. Each marble has five sets of data because we conducted five trials. In trial one, marble one took 1.919 seconds, marble two took

change its state by the action of an external force. This is normally taken as the definition of inertia. The key point here is that if there is no net force resulting from unbalanced forces acting on an object (if all the external forces cancel each other out), then the object will maintain a constant velocity. If that velocity is zero, then the object remains at rest. And if an additional external force is applied, the velocity will change because of the force. The amount of the change in velocity is

with my dad in this crazy market? (Enlighten). That does not sound like fun to me! (Urge). So—what? What’s left? Option One—Pull a Davis. Stress about what you are told to do and force an early life heart attack on yourself. Not judging, just saying (Criticize). And there’s Option Two: The Cooper way. Four years? Hell no. Five. Six. Six and a half (Challenge). I know people. And this way, I end up saving time. (Assert) Why? Because people who opted for Option One work towards retirement, but the high

1) The following problems are representative of the type problems that will be on the 1st semester exam. Exam will cover Chapters 1 - 5. 2) Please solve/answer each of these - pay particular attention to the “type” solution required for each one. 3) You will not be given ANY additional material - any and all equations and/or constants that YOU think you will need must be placed on either a 3x5 or 5x8 index card. This card must be submitted to me during the exam review days and approved by me. The

Lab Assignment 4: Types of Force Instructor’s Overview In many physics problems involving Newton’s laws of motion, you’ll see statements like, “assume a frictionless surface” or “neglecting air resistance…” In this lab we will be exploring both friction and air resistance, two resistive forces that are critical in the design of real-world products and systems. Understanding the effects of these types of forces is essential in the design of such things as aircraft, automobiles, braking systems

allowing people from around the world to collaborate and work together on projects using a shared medium. As Apache and Wikipedia came into play, we became able to develop and upload web content and community collaboration became another flattening force. Preparations for Y2K required resources beyond those available in the United States and as a result, we see that India became responsible for a huge portion of these preparations. Offshoring, using the Chinese manufacturing sector as a prime example
