A transportation engineer collected the data shown in the Table below. Develop a linear v-k model, and then establish v-q and q-k relationships. Draw v-k, v-q and q-k diagrams and depict all of the critical values (i.e., free-flow speed, jam density, maximum traffic flow, critical speed and density) in the three diagrams

Drag measurements were taken for a 5 cm diameter sphere in water at 20 °C to predict the drag force of a 1 m diameter balloon rising in air with standard temperature and pressure. Given kinematic viscosity of water (v) = 1.0 X 10-6 m2/s and kinematic viscosity of air (v) = 1.46 X 10-5 m2/s.

Suppose that a decision-maker’s preferences over the set A={a, b, c} are represented by the payoff function u for which u(a) = 0, u(b) = 1, and u(c) = 4.
(a) Are they also represented by the function v for which v(a) =−1, v(b) = 0, and v(c) = 2?
(b) How about the function w for which w(a) =w(b) = 0 and w(c) = 8?
(c) Give another example of a function f:A→R that represents the decision-maker’s preferences.
(d) Is there a function that represents the decision-maker’s preferences and assigns negative numbers to all elements of A?

Post I is your initial conclusion based on the data obtained in your experiment. It should be written in complete sentences.
*Upload a picture of your experimental setup. The picture must include a piece of paper with your name and the date. (Instructions on how to do this is shown on the Lab Discussions page.) Not having the correct pictures will result in a zero grade.
*Post the Force-Mass graph from the Gravity Force Lab.
*Describe the relationship between mass and the
force of gravity. Specifically, how does YOUR GRAPH support your
description? NOTE: Be very careful about bringing the acceleration
due to gravity into your discussion as your data is being taken on
objects that are not accelerating!
*Write an equation for the line on the graph.
Explain what this equation means. What is the physical meaning of
the slope? What are the labels? What is significant about the
y-intercept? Don't forget to change the "x" and "y"
variables and to label your slope!
*Explain (using your equation) how you could determine the force of
gravity acting on an object.

A real estate major collected information on some recent local home sales. The first 6 lines of the database appear below. The columns correspond to the house identification number, the community name, the ZIP code, the number of acres of the property, the year the house was built, the market value, and the size of the living area (in square feet).
