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...

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 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?

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...
