Mr. Cicardo arranged his second grade students in groups of four to accommodate group work for math. Students keep their desks in this arrangement at all times. During spelling tests, Mr. Cicardo reminds students to look only at their papers and demonstrate their individual ability to spell the words. Occasionally, he finds students looking at a neighbor's paper anyway. During language arts lessons, Mr. Cicardo often sees students mouthing messages to one another in their groups, and he reminds them to pay attention to the lesson. When Mr. Cicardo works with small reading groups, the rest of the class works on independent seatwork. This is a time when students often collaborate and talk with others seated nearby. The noise is distracting to students who are working quietly, and it disturbs the reading group being conducted. So, Mr. Cicardo frequently needs to remind students that this is independent work, not group work.

Describe specific changes Mr. Cicardo might make in both classroom arrangement and classroom procedures to improve the learning environment and increase academic learning time.

Normal Modes and Resonance Frequencies

A normal mode of a closed system is an oscillation of the system in which all parts oscillate at a single frequency. In general there are an infinite number ofsuch modes, each one with a distinctive frequency fi and associated pattern of oscillation.

Consider an example of a system with normal modes: a string of length L held fixed at both ends, located at x=0 and x=L. Assume that waves on this stringpropagate with speed v. The string extends in the x direction, and the waves are transverse with displacement along the y direction.

In this problem, you will investigate the shape of the normal modes and then their frequency.

The normal modes of this system are products of trigonometric functions. (For linear systems, the time dependance of a normal mode is always sinusoidal, but thespatial dependence need not be.) Specifically, for this system a normal mode is described by

yi(x,t)=Ai sin(2π*x/λi)sin(2πfi*t)

A)The string described in the problem introduction is oscillating in one of its normal modes. Which of the following statements about the wave in the string iscorrect?

The wave is traveling in the +x direction.
a)The wave is traveling in the -x direction.
b)The wave will satisfy the given boundary conditions for any arbitrary wavelength lambda_i.
c)The wavelength lambda_i can have only certain specific values if the boundary conditions are to be satisfied.
d)The wave does not satisfy the boundary condition y_i(0;t)=0.

B)Which of the following statements are true?

a)The system can resonate at only certain resonance frequencies f_i and the wavelength lambda_i must be such that y_i(0;t) = y_i(L;t) = 0.
b)A_i mustbe chosen so that the wave fits exactly on the string.
c)Any one of A_i or lambda_i orf_i can be chosen to make the solution anormal mode.


C) Find the three longest wavelengths (call them lambda_1, lambda_2, and lambda_3) that "fit" on the string, that is, those that satisfy the boundaryconditions at x=0 and x=L. These longest wavelengths have the lowest frequencies.

D) The frequency of each normal mode depends on the spatial part of the wave function, which is characterized by its wavelength lambda_i.

Find the frequency f_i of the ith normalmode.

The relationship between income and saving is ( direct, inverse; positive, negative ). That means, as income increases, the amount of saving ( increases, decreases, stays the same ).

What is the slope of the line? Slope = ________ = Vertical changes ÷ Horizontal changes

The slope shows the amount of changes in savings due to the changes in income. That is, for every $1 increase in income, the amount of increase in saving will be $_____.

The vertical intercept? ( = $______ ).   The intercept shows the amount of saving (dissaving) occurring when income is (_______ ).

What is an opportunity cost? How does the idea relate to the statement of "There is no free lunch"? Provide an example of opportunity cost from your own economic life.

     An opportunity cost is what was ( s__________ ) to do (or to acquire) something else. The condition of scarcity creates opportunity cost. If there was no scarcity, there would be no need to sacrifice one thing to acquire another.

"There is no free lunch" states that all production involves the use of scarce resources and thus the sacrifice of alternative goods. As the textbook mentioned, “you may be treated to lunch, making it “free” from your perspective, but someone bears a c_____.” This kind of costs or sacrifices are called by economists as o___________ c_________.

What are the three interrelated features of the economic perspective? (Fill blanks!)

   First, economics recognizes that there is a general condition of ( s__________ ) that forces individuals and society to make choices. Human and property resources are scarce, so choices must be made about how best to use those limited resources.

   Second, economics assumes that private or public decision-making is based on “(p__________________ b_______________ ).” People make rational decisions to achieve the maximum satisfaction (or u_________ ) of a goal. Consumers try to get the best value for their expenditures. Workers try to get the best job given their skills and abilities. Businesses try to maximize their profits. College students try to achieve best grade to earn academic credits.  

   Third, economics focuses on ( m__________ a_____________ ) when making an economic decision. The marginal or “additional” costs from an economic choice are weighed against the additional benefit. If the marginal benefit outweighs the marginal costs, then a decision will be made to take the beneficial action. If the marginal cost is greater than the marginal benefit, then the action will not be taken.

In 1993, Nash Company completed the construction of a building at a cost of $2,040,000 and first occupied it in January 1994. It was estimated that the building will have a useful life of 40 years and a salvage value of $59,200 at the end of that time.

Early in 2004, an addition to the building was constructed at a cost of $510,000. At that time, it was estimated that the remaining life of the building would be, as originally estimated, an additional 30 years, and that the addition would have a life of 30 years and a salvage value of $20,400.

In 2022, it is determined that the probable life of the building and addition will extend to the end of 2053, or 20 years beyond the original estimate.

Using the straight-line method, compute the annual depreciation that would have been charged from 1994 through 2003.
