On a spacecraft two engines fire for a time of 591 s. One gives the craft an acceleration in the x direction of ax = 5.17 m/s2, while the other produces an acceleration in the y direction of ay = 7.30 m/s2. At the end of the firing period, the craft has velocity components of vx = 3728 m/s and vy = 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...

S Company has been investigating the time taken to produce one
of its products, and found that a 90% learning curve appears to be
applicable. The time taken for the first unit is 7 hours.
What is the
total time taken in hours for units 5 to 8 only?

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...
