Cenario: Aristotle Murphy owns movie theatres in two towns of roughly the same size, 100 kilometers apart. In Monopolia, he owns the only chain of theatres (he is a monopolist). In Competitia, there is no theatre chain and he is only one of a number of independent theatre operators. note In Monopolia Mr. Murphy will be a price maker (since he is a monopolist there), but in Competitia he is a more of a price taker (since he is facing...

1. Suppose two automobiles leave from the same point at the same time. If one travels north at 60 miles per hour and the other travels east at 45 miles per hour, how fast will the distance between them be changing after 3 hours? 2. Find the critical values of , find the intervals on which f(x)is increasing and decreasing, and any local maximum or minimum values. Critical values? Increasing on? Decreasing on? Max? Min? Please show all work.

Two ships, A and B, leave port at the same time. Ship A travels northwest at 21 knots and ship B travels at 26 knots in a direction 34° west of south. (1 knot = 1 nautical mile per hour; see Appendix D.) What are (a) the magnitude (in knots) and (b) direction (measured relative to east) of the velocity of ship A relative to B? (c) After how many hours will the ships be 200 nautical miles apart? (d)...

Two canoeists start paddling at the same time and head toward a small island in a lake, as shown in the figure (Figure 1) . Canoeist 1 paddles with a speed of 1.40m/s at an angle of 45 ? north of east. Canoeist 2 starts on the opposite shore of the lake, a distance of 1.5 km due east of canoeist 1. a- In what direction relative to north must canoeist 2 paddle to reach the island? Express your answer...

Two parallel wires are 5.85 cm apart, each with 3.45 A of current in the same direction. (a) What is the magnitude of the force per unit length between the wires? (b) Is the force attractive or repulsive?

. Two masses travel toward each other across a horizontal, frictionless surface. They collide, resulting in 100 Joules of kinetic energy being lost. Below is a list of the known quantities. Mass#1 = 5.00 kg and has an initial velocity of 10.0 m/s to the right and a final velocity of 3.00 m/s to the right. Mass#2 = unknown and has an initial velocity of 4.00 m/s to the left and a final velocity that is unknown. What is the...

Two trains (on separate tracks) travel toward each other, the first at 60.0 km/s and the second at 40.0 km/s. Both turn on their whistle, the first one emitting a frequency of 200 Hz and the second one emitting a frequency of 220 Hz. What frequencies do they each receive if the speed of sound in air is 330 m/s? Hint: Draw a diagram or do this one in steps. Is the source or the observer moving?

For every trial, the waves travel for exactly the same amount of time to the same point from each of the speakers. Does't that mean every "Wave state" should be a "trough?" Explain. What is the essential difference between your data focused on the destructive interference and the data focused on the constructive interference?

1. There are two players. Each names an amount at the same time as the other. They can say $0 or say $10 or anything in between, even fractions of cents. If the amounts total $10 or less they get what they named. If they total more than $10 they get $0. What are the Nash equilbria? To solve this try some pairs of amounts. If they aren’t equilibria – if one player or both could do better by changing...

Two trains, A and B, travel in the same direction on the same set of tracks. A starts at rest at position d, and B starts with velocity v0 at the origin. A accelerates with acceleration a, and B decelerates with acceleration –a. What is the maximum value of v0 (in terms of d and a) for which the trains don’t collide? Make a rough sketch of x vs. t for both trains in the case where they barely collide.
