Here are four problems (5 pts each) involving the calculation of DG°' for metabolic reactions we have discussed, based on experimentally determined redox potentials. Calculate the DG°' for each reaction using the equation DG°' = -nFDE0' and the values for E0' given in Table 1. Show your work and circle your answer.

Table 1. Reduction potentials for reduction half reactions:

1/2 O2 + 2H+ + 2e- ® H2O                                              E0' = +0.82 V

fumarate + 2H+ + 2e- ® succinate                                  E0' = +0.03 V

oxaloacetate + 2H+ + 2e- ® malate                                 E0' = -0.17 V

pyruvate + 2H+ + 2e- ® lactate                                       E0' = -0.19 V

a-ketoglutarate + CO2 + 2H+ + 2e- ® isocitrate               E0' = -0.38 V

FAD + 2H+ + 2e- ® FADH2                                             E0' = -0.22 V

NAD+ + 2H+ + 2e- ® NADH + H+                                    E0' = -0.32 V

CoQ + 2H+ + 2e- ® CoQH2                                            E0' = +0.06 V

An aircraft is in level flight at airspeed v(t) m/s with thrust T(t) N at cruising...

An aircraft is in level flight at airspeed v(t) m/s with thrust T(t) N at cruising altitude. Suppose that at v0 = 250 m/s, the aerodynamic drag experienced by the aircraft at this altitude is:

Fd(v) = 0.25v 2 . (1)

Then, an extremely simplified model relating v(t) to T(t) is:

mv˙(t) + Fd(v(t)) = T(t), (2)

where m = 25000 kg. Assume v(t) is always positive.

Question 1. Linearize (2) at v0 = 250 m/s, and an appropriate nominal thrust T0. That is, create a new linear system model ˙δv + aδv = bδT that is accurate for small perturbations δv(t) = v(t) − v0, δT = T(t) − T0.

Question 2. Suppose we want the aircraft to fly at v0 = 250 m/s. However, precise modelling of drag is very difficult. Suppose in reality the dynamics are slightly different:

mv˙(t) + 0.23v(t) 2 = T(t). (3)

To control v(t) to be close to the reference 250m/s, you try using a proportional controller to control the thrust:

T(t) = T0 + k(v0 − v(t)), (4) with k = 100.

Here T0 is the value calculated in Question 1, but the controller is applied to the true dynamics (3). Find the final final value of v in: (a) open loop (i.e. just apply T(t) = T0), and (b) closed loop (using (4)). You may need to solve a quadratic equation. Recall that v(t) is assumed to be positive. Which one is better?

Business faculty at a prestigious community college wanted to evaluate the infuence of Netflix on student academic performance. After careful consideration, the faculty decided to conduct a prelimary study to see if they could justify a more detailed analysis. The preliminary study follows:

Sixty (60) students were selected for two sections of a Business Adminstration class. The students were selected based on their previous performance in an introductory level course. In order to enroll in one of the sections, students had to earn an 85 or higher in the introductory course.

The students in Section 1 agreed to spend at least 15 hours per week preparing for class. During the 15 hours, the students were required to work either in the library or a comparable, on-campus study location that was completely free of distractions (i.e., no smartphones, musical devices, or any other digital media).

The students in Section 2 were given free, unlimited access to Netflix and encouraged to use their account as much as possible when not preparing for class. The students were not required to spend any time preparing for class.

Both sections were taught by the same professor using the same materials. Great care was taken to insure that both classes received approximately the same course content at the same time.

The following data shows the test scores for each student on the first test:
