Choose the correct statements from the following list. (Give ALL correct answers, i.e., B, AC, BCD...)

A) The critical density is the density needed to cause the Big Bang.

B) Assuming no dark energy, if the matter density of the universe is greater than critical, the universe is will eventually recollapse in a big crunch.

C) The horizon problem in cosmology is that regions of the universe that should not have ever had thermal contact with one another have the same temperature.

D) Assuming no dark energy, if the matter density of the universe is less than critical, the universe is closed.

E) A major difference between dark matter and dark energy is that one causes the universe's expansion to slow down, the other to make it expand faster.

F) Observations show us that the geometry of our universe must be very open

G) The inflationary model of the universe solves both the flatness and the horizon problems.

An RC circuit, hooked up to a battery as shown in the figure, starts with an uncharged capacitor. The resistance in the circuit is R = 784.0 Ω the capacitor has capacitance of C = 68.0 μF and the battery maintains the emf of ε = 32.0 V. The switch is closed at time t = 0.0 s and the capacitor begins to charge.

What is the time constant for this circuit?

Problem 3: A capacitor of capacitance C = 2 μF has been charged so that the potential difference between its plates is V0 = 85 V. The capacitor is then connected to a resistor of resistance R = 5.5 kΩ. The switch S is closed, and the capacitor begins to discharge. C = 2 μF V0 = 85 V R = 5.5 kΩ Calculate the time constant τ of the circuit in seconds. Calculate the charge Q0 on the capacitor before the switch is closed, in coulombs. Calculate the current I0 immediately after the switch is closed, in amperes. Calculate the potential difference VC in volts between the capacitor plates at time t = 5.0 ms after the switch is closed. Calculate the time T in s after which the charge on the capacitor has decreased to one fourth its maximum value.

3. Open Roof or Closed Roof? In a recent World Series, the Houston Astros wanted to close the roof on their domed stadium so that fans could make noise and give the team an advantage at home. However, the Astros were ordered to keep the roof open unless weather conditions justified closing it. But does the closed roof really help the Astros? The table below shows the results from home games during the season leading up to the World Series. Use a 0.05 significance level to conduct a Chi-Square Test for Association. Is there sufficient evidence to show that there is a relationship between wins and the open/closed status of the roof?

what is your opinion on this?

Should companies use wireless technology for their networks?
The use of wireless technology would be useful as it can promote cost-efficient measures as wireless networks are less expensive due to fewer cables being used and it’s extremely flexible because workers can still do work while away from the office. However, there’s more of a risk of being exposed to attacks, and speeds may be significantly slower than a wired network.

What limits should be placed upon the use of wireless technology?


Reducing exposure to the RF that emits from cellphones (or anything using wireless) to your body. For example, reducing the distance from your wireless device and your body, such as using a headset to talk on the phone or using speakerphone rather than talking with the phone next to your head.



What "best practices" should be deployed for wireless installations?


Determine how much coverage the business needs in order to function well before setting up the network. Implement security on the wireless network as soon as possible to protect the network from outside attacks. Always regularly scan logs and actively monitor the usage of devices. Consider the usage of the wireless network is being used isn’t business-related always try prioritizing business-related wireless use when necessary.


What safeguards should be implemented to protect both wireless and wired resources?


Password-protect access to the WLAN. Using VPNs to improve wireless networking. Activate data encryption methods that come with the wireless network and remember the default passwords. Make sure employees fully understand the importance of IT security otherwise they could pose a liability if they don’t understand the concept of making sure networks are secure and not falling for things like phishing.
