On a spacecraft two engines fire for a time of 591 s. One gives the craft an acceleration in the x direction of a_x = 5.17 m/s², while the other produces an acceleration in the y direction of a_y = 7.30 m/s². At the end of the firing period, the craft has velocity components of v_x = 3728 m/s and v_y = 4812 m/s. Calculate the magnitude of the initial velocity.

the number of fire engines available to extinguish fires in a small town is two. When a fire occurs it occupies one fire engine for a full day. If the occurence of fires is Poisson distributed with a mean of 0.7 per day, what is the probability that a fire will occur for which no engine is available?

Two astronauts are 137m away from their spacecraft and both are untethered. The larger one of mass “m” (including the mass of the spacesuit etc.) has plenty of oxygen while his partner is running low. 1. How hard must he push her if she has a mas of “m” so that she can make it back to spacecraft in time to be rescued if her oxygen will only last 2 more minutes? 2. How far away from the spacecraft will...

A black firefighter alleges that each time he is transferred from one fire station to another, he must take his bed with him, on orders of the fire chief. The chief defends on the basis that it is a legitimate decision because white firefighters would not want to sleep in the same bed in which a black firefighter slept. Is this illegal under Title VII? Explain. [Georgia newspaper article.]

A store has issued two different coupons for its customers to use. One coupon gives customers $25 off their purchase price, and the other coupon gives customers 35% off of their purchase. The store allows customers to use both coupons and choose which coupon to apply first. For this context, ignore sales tax. Let f be the function that inputs a cost (in dollars) and outputs the cost after applying the "$25 off" coupon, and let g be the function...

Develop two functions in R, one that generates s^2 using the formation definition, and one that calculates s^2 based on the hand calculation equation. Generate data from a normal distribution. Use your functions to calculate s^2 for your generated data. Try this for various variances so that your data become closer and closer to the mean (less variance). What do you find, comment.

Consider the following two-server one-queue system from time = 0 to time = 20 min. If both servers are available when a customer arrives, the customer will choose server1. Customers waiting in the queue enter service whenever any one of the two servers becomes available (first come, first serve). Arrivals and service times are: • Customer #1 arrives at t = 0 and requires 2 minutes of service time • Customer #2 arrives at t = 1 and requires 5...
