Cart 1, with m1= 5.6 kg, is moving on a frictionless linear air track at an initial speed of 1.7 m/s. It undergoes an elastic collision with an initially stationary cart 2, with m2, an unknown mass. After the collision, cart 1 continues in its original direction at 0.6 m/s
a) what is the magnitude of the momentum of cart 2 before the collision?
b) what is the magnitude of the momentum of cart 1 after the collision?
c) what is the magnitude of the momentum of cart 2 after the collision?
d) what is the kinetic energy of cart 1 before the collision?
e) what is the kinetic energy of cart 2 before the collision?
f) what is the kinetic energy of cart 1 after the collision?
g) what is the kinetic energy of cart 2 after the collision?
h) using your energy and momentum for cart 2 after the collision, find the mass of cart 2. Hint: Remember that kinetic energy can be written in terms of momentum KE=(p^2)/(2m)

Two masses are on a horizontal, frictionless surface. The plane of the surface is the x-y plane. Mass m1 = 1.0kg is at rest while mass m2 = 2.0kg is moving in the positive x-direction at 15m/s. The two masses then undergo a collision and mass m2 is moving with a speed of 9.0m/s at an angle of 35 degrees after the collision.
1) What is the speed of the center of mass of the two masses before the collision?
2) What is the kinetic energy of the center of mass of the two masses before the collision?
3) What is the total kinetic energy of the two masses before the collision?
4) What is the kinetic energy of mass m1 after the collision?
5) What is the kinetic energy of mass m2 after the collision?
6) What is the total kinetic energy of the two masses after the collision?
7) What is the speed of the center of mass of the two masses after the collision?
8) What is the kinetic energy of the center of mass of the two masses after the collision?
9) Was the collision elastic, inelastic, or is there not enough information?

A manager of a mattress manufacturing company with a cost of capital of 8% believes that the market is oversaturated with diamond dust mattresses. In order to get ahead of competitors, one must come up with marketing innovation. Using palladium or platinum dust may consist such an innovation. The cash flows associated with palladium- and platinum-dust mattress manufacturing are given below:
| year | Palladium | Platinum |
|---|---|---|
| 0 | -$170,000 | -$120,000 |
| 1 | $15,000 | $50,000 |
| 2 | $40,000 | $70,000 |
| 3 | $50,000 | $40,000 |
| 4 | $70,000 | $30,000 |
| 5 | $60,000 | $15,000 |
| 6 | $50,000 | $10,000 |

One of the specific problems socialist economies had was keeping up with capitalist countries technologically.
a. Can you think of any reason inherent in centrally planned economy that would make innovation difficult?
b. Can you think of any reason inherent in a capitalist economy that would foster innovation?
c. Joseph Schumprter, a famous Harvard economist of 1930s, predicted that as firms in capitalist societies grew in size, they would innovate less. Can you suggest what his argument might have been? d. Schumpeter’s prediction did not come true.
Modern capitalist economies have had enormous innovations, can you provide explanations as to why?

For the purposes of this assignment, you must select a real-life
organisation for analysis. The
chosen company should be known to you and having access to the
required information to
complete the assignment is a must. The chosen field is a banking
industry-Nedbank to be precise
Imagine that you have successfully completed the value based
management module and you
are approached by the leadership of the selected company to assist
them in creating new
value for their target market. Your assignment brief is to:
1. Construct a detailed Position Map or Customer Matrix for its
leading product or service.
2. Identify innovation strategic moves and competitive positioning
open to the organisation
and propose how the organisation can ensure sustained competitive
advantage? (20
marks)
3. Determine what type of innovation and value-creation the
organisation is capable of
undertaking. Is it incremental or disruptive? Please explain fully
and support your choice.
4. Based on the findings of the preceding analyses and evaluation,
recommend how the
organisation should proceed to deliver on the value proposition in
the market place by:
4.1 Identifying the required value-added competencies
4.2 Proposing how the organisation should configure these
competencies in its capital
base
4.3 Proposing how the organisation should align and leverage these
value-added
competencies to achieve its innovation strategy or goals
4.4 Identify the relevant internal organisational arrangements and
suggest how these
should be addressed to sustain innovation and value creation
You are required to present to the leadership a formal report
detailing the following: a suitable
cover page, signed declaration of own work, an executive summary, a
table of contents, a
brief introduction and background of the company, its leading
product or service, the target
market, the approach and methods used, the findings generated, the
recommendations and
conclusion, as well as a list of references.

A pharmaceutical company claims that its new drug reduces systolic blood pressure. The systolic blood pressure (in millimeters of mercury) for nine patients before taking the new drug and 2 hours after taking the drug are shown in the table below. Using this data, find the 99% confidence interval for the true difference in blood pressure for each patient after taking the new drug. Assume that the blood pressures are normally distributed for the population of patients both before and after taking the new drug. Patient 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Blood pressure (before) 187 186 176 203 182 168 199 167 204 Blood pressure (after) 178 166 158 187 157 159 192 148 196 Step 1 of 4 : Find the point estimate for the population mean of the paired differences. Let x1 be the blood pressure before taking the new drug and x2 be the blood pressure after taking the new drug and use the formula d=x2−x1 to calculate the paired differences. Round your answer to one decimal place.
