Luc, who is 1.80 m tall and weighs 950 N, is standing at the center of a playground merry-go-round with his arms extended, holding a 4.0 kg dumbbell in each hand. The merry-go-round can be modeled as a 4.0-m-diameter disk with a weight of 1500 N. Luc's body can be modeled as a uniform 40-cm-diameter cylinder with massless arms extending to hands that are 85 cm from his center. The merry-go-round is coasting at a steady 35 rpm when Luc brings his hands in to his chest.

Afterward, what is the angular velocity, in rpm, of the merry-go-round?

Captain Sarfo is examining the trip manifest for round trip for his personnel carrier, and is trying to plan how much food to bring. His typical run goes from Ganymede station to Mars. As such, he flies Martians almost exclusively, and  plans his trips by approximating food consumption using passenger height. Since transporting excess weight increases fuel costs significantly, Captain Sarfo relies heavily on the accuracy of this prediction (going over or under is very undesirable).

Today, there is a conference on Mars, and Captain Sarfo’s first officer warns him that ¼ of his passengers will be Belters for this trip, and 1/5 will be Earthers. Earthers eat more than Martians, and Belters eat much less.

a)         If Belters and Earthers are approximately the same height as Martians, how will this complicate Captain Sarfo’s estimates? Please be specific.

b)         Using his old estimates, Captain Sarfo knows that a Martian standing 1.7 meters eats 1.4 kilos of food in a day, and that amount increases linearly with height. If we assume that Belters’ and Earthers’ consumption ALSO increases linearly, then what pieces of information would we need to improve Captain Sarfo’s estimates over his original method?

(1) The HotBeverages Company has a cup that reduces the temperature of a liquid from 200 F to 100 F in 30 minutes by maintaining a constant temperature of 70 F.

(2) The BestSupplies Company has a cup that reduces the temperature of a liquid from 200 F to 110 F in 25 minutes by maintaining a constant temperature of 60 F.

(3) The MountainGrown Company has a cup that reduces the temperature of a liquid from 200 F to 120 F in 20 minutes by maintaining a constant temperature of 65 F.

You need to recommend which cup the restaurant should purchase. Use the questions below to make a presentation of your recommendation with a documented explanation of the recommendation to the restaurant.

(a)Use Newton’s Law of Cooling to find a function relating to the temperature of the liquid over time for each cup. ?(?) = ? ∙ ? ?? + ?? where ?(?) is the temperature of the object after a given time ? is a constant found from the initial temperature of the object ? is a constant for the continuous rate of cooling of the object

(b)Graph the three functions on a single set of axis using Excel.

(c)How long does it take each cup to lower the coffee temperature from 200 F to 130 F?

(d)How long will the coffee temperature remain between 110 F and 130 F for each cup?

(e)Eliminate one of the cups from your decision. Why did you eliminate this cup?

(f) Complete the market analysis worksheet below for the remaining two cups. What is your final probability vector? How long will it take to get to your final probability vector? What does this mean?

(g)Which company would you recommend to the restaurant? Explain your reasoning.

(h)How might the cost of the container affect your decision?

Spitting cobras can defend themselves by squeezing muscles around their venom glands to squirt venom at an attacker. Suppose a spitting cobra rears up to a height of 0.400 m above the ground and launches venom at 4.00 m/s, directed 59.0° above the horizon. Neglecting air resistance, find the horizontal distance (in m) traveled by the venom before it hits the ground.

A spherical raindrop falling through fog or mist accumulates mass due to condensation at a rate proportional to its cross-sectional area multiplied by the velocity.
a. Calculate the acceleration of the raindrop in terms of its radius and velocity. The raindrop starts from rest and has almost zero size.
b. If a terminal velocity of 10 m/s is reached at a raindrop radius of 1 mm, find the proportionality constant for the increase in the raindrop's mass with velocity.
c. find the relationship between the raindrop radius, r, and the height dropped, y. [Hint: v = dy/dt]
d. How far does the raindrop fall as it grows to a size of 1 mm?
