same as labor costs. * According to Lorenzo, an airline seat was a commodity and major cost component in the industry is payroll. Labor rate is total salary paid to the labor force divided by total time worked by them. But, labor costs take productivity into account, besides the total amount paid to the labor force. As a result he cut employees’ wages in half and forced them to work longer hours with shorter breaks and no guaranteed time off and fired the union employees. Myth 2: Cutting labor

wherein Physics was applied into sports. Remember Isaac Newton’s first law of motion? Which states: An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. (Mckinley, 2000) It is also known as inertia, and the very main reason why ice skaters glide smoothly on ice with the help of friction simply because there is less friction on ice. It is truly amazing on how the girl in the movie successfully applied

Two people pull a wagon using two ropes with an angle of 50d between them. If one person pulls with 110N and the other with 115 N, what is the resulting force on the wagon? Vector resolution: 4. A horse is towing a barge along a canal with a rope that makes a 25° angle with the canal. If the horse exerts 500 N on the rope, how much force is in the forward direction? 5. An airplane whose speed is 150 km/h climbs from a runway at an angle of 20° above the horizontal. What is its altitude

Friction is what happens when any two things rub against each other. These can be solid things, like your two hands rubbing together, or your skis rubbing on the snow, or a hammer hitting a nail, or they can be gases, like friction with the air slowing down your car, or liquids, like friction with the water slowing down a boat. Nobody completely understands what causes friction. Partly, friction happens when the rough edges of one object snag on the rough edges of another object, and some of the

Competitive Forces That Shape Strategy In order for a company to understand the structure of its industry, awareness of the five forces can help. The first force is the Threat of Entry, where new entrants to an industry bring new capacity and a desire to gain market share that put pressure on prices, cost and rate of investment necessary to compete. New entrants shake up competition, where when threat is high, incumbents must either hold down prices or boost investment. The second force is the Power
