For S and S' in standard configuration, the Galilean transformations are:

x' = x - vt, y' = y, z' = z, t' = t

From the Lorentz transformations for v << c:

x' = x - vt, y' = y, z' = z, t' = t - vx/c^2

So it looks as if the Galilean transformations become increasingly accurate for:

vx -> 0, v << c

And exact for v = 0 for all x.

Yet, all text books I've come across state that the Galilean transformatons become more accurate for the condition v << c only.

So what are the conditions under which the Galilean transformations become more accurate and why?

A 3.0 m length of wire is made by welding the end of a 100 cm long silver wire to the end of a 200 cm long copper wire . Each piece of wire is 0.80 mm in diameter. The wire is at room temperature, so the resistivities are as given in the table below. A potential difference of 5.0 V is maintained between the ends of the 3.0 m composite wire.

(a) What is the current in the copper section?. A

(b) What is the current in the silver section? A

(c) What is the magnitude of vector E in the copper? V/m

(d) What is the magnitude of vector E in the silver? V/m

1. The Hanes-Woolf plot represents [S]/v (y axis) versus [S] (x axis). Rearrange the Lineweaver-Burk to determine the linear equation for the Hanes-Woolf plot (y = ax + b, with y= [S]/v and x = [S]). What do the intercepts with the [S]/v and the [S] axis, and the slope of the straight line represent? (For example in the Lineweaver-Burk plot, the intercept of the straight line and the y-axis represent 1/Vmax) (6 pts)

2. The Woolf-Augustinsson-Hofstee plot represents v versus v/[S]. Rearrange the HenriMichaelis-Menten equation to determine the linear equation for the Woolf-AugustinssonHofstee plot. What do the intercepts with the v and the v/[S] axis, and the slope of the straight line represent? (6 pts)

Having Questions with my Java program.

We consider a school is the user of this application. A courseApp personnel can use the application do complete the following tasks,

1. Add courses. The courseApp can create courses, i.e., a user can add more than one courses for the courseApp in the application.

2. Add students. The courseApp can enroll students, i.e., a user can add a list of students for the courseApp in the application.

3. Register classes. A user can act as a student (e.g., select a student) and enroll in a list of courses not exceeding 18 credit hours in total.

4. Add instructors. The courseApp can hire instructors, i.e., a user can add instructors in the application.

5. Assign instructors to courses. A course can have one to three instructors who teach or co-teach the course. A user can assign instructors to a course.

6. Display students. The application can display the student list. 7. Display course information. The application can display the course information including minimally course name, credit hours, instructors, and the enrollment of the course.

This is my code for now and I don't know how to add instructors into the program:

This question has 8 parts. Each of the 8 parts (Part A - Part H) has a dropdown list of possible answers. Choose the best answer from the dropdown list for EACH part of the question below. Open the "Lab Dataset" (HSCI390.sav) you have been using for lab assignments in SPSS. Your analysis will focus on the variable "Weight in pounds" (NQ50).

Researchers are interested in examining how the average weight of students at CSUN compares to the average weight of all people across the United States of 166.2. To examine their research question of interest, they will use data from the sample of CSUN students contained in the HSCI390.sav dataset. Using SPSS for the analysis, you will test whether the population of students at CSUN appear to have a different average weight than the reported average age of people across the US of 166.2, using an alpha level (α) of 0.05. You will use the information above to complete the question parts below for a one sample t-test.

Mean is 152.62, Standard Deviation is 39.164, Standard Error Mean is .654

Part A: Which of the following represents the appropriate null hypothesis (H0), given this research question of interest? PART A ANSWER CHOICES: H0: μ = 166.2, μ = 152.62, µ ≠ 152.62, µ ≠ 166.2

Part B: Which of the following represents the appropriate alternative hypothesis (H1), given this research question of interest? PART B ANSWER CHOICES: H1: μ = 166.2, μ = 152.62, µ ≠ 166.2, µ ≠ 152.62

Part C: What are the degrees of freedom (df) associated with your test? PART C ANSWER CHOICES: 166.2, 3588, 3583, 3584, 3589

Part D: Which of the following represents the appropriate critical values, testing at an alpha level (α) of 0.05? PART D ANSWER CHOICES: -1.960 and 1.960, -2.576 and 2.576, -2.041 and 2.041, -3.291 and 3.291, -3.859 and 3.859

Part E: What is the t-statistic associated with your test? (rounded to the nearest thousandth)? PART E ANSWER CHOICES: 0.372, -7.492, 20.761, 7.492, -20.761

Part F: What is the p-value associated with your test statistic? (rounded to the nearest thousandth) PART F ANSWER CHOICES: 2.131, 0.003, 7.492, 0.000 or <0.001, 2.974

Part G: Given your test results, what is your decision about the null hypothesis? PART G ANSWER CHOICES: Fail to reject (i.e., retain) the null, reject the null

Part H: The best interpretation of the appropriate decision regarding the null hypothesis would be: "Based on our study, we _____ enough evidence to conclude that the population of CSUN students appears to have a different mean weight than the population of all people across the US."

PART H ANSWER CHOICES: have, do not have

A previous semester's set of data from the initial questionnaire results in the following frequency table (some minor adjustments were made).

Eye color +8 hours of sleep <8 hours of sleep
Brown 6 7
Blue 4 1
Other 1 3

(a) If the possibilities for eye color are brown (Br), blue (Bl), and other (O), and the possibilities for sleep are at least 8 hours (Y) and less than 8 hours (N), one possible outcome for eye color and sleep after choosing a student is "BrY" (brown eyes and slept at least 8 hours). List one other possible outcome:  

(b) What is the probability of the event "has blue eyes" occurring if a student is chosen at random? State your answer as a fraction (e.g. "3/7")   

(c) What is the probability of someone having brown eyes OR getting +8 hours of sleep? State your answer as a fraction (e.g. "3/7")

(d) In how many ways can you get exactly two people who have <8 hours of sleep?   

(e) Suppose two different students are chosen at random. What is the probability that both students have brown eyes? State your answer to two decimal places.

(f) Suppose one student is chosen at random. What is the probability that the student has an "other" eye color given that they got less than 8 hours of sleep? Give your answer as a fraction (e.g. "3/7").

(g) In how many different ways can you choose 3 different people at random out of the entire group of students? State your answer to two decimal places.
