Questions
In what direction and through what potential difference Vb-Va does the particle move?

A particle with charge 3.20×1019 C is placed on the x-axis in a region where the electric potential due to other charges increases in the +x direction but does not change in the y or z-direction.

Part A:
The particle, initially at rest, is acted upon only by the electric force and moves from point a to point b along the x-axis, increasing its kinetic energy by 1.60×1019J. In what direction and through what potential difference Vb-Va does the particle move?

a. The particle moves to the left through a potential difference of Vb-Va = 0.500 V.
b. The particle moves to the left through a potential difference of Vb-Va = -0.500 V
c. The particle moves to the right through a potential difference of Vb-Va = 0.500 V.
d. The particle moves to the right through a potential difference of Vb-Va = -0.500 V.
e. The particle moves to the left through a potential difference of Vb-Va = 5.00 V.
f. The particle moves to the right through a potential difference of Vb-Va = -5.00 V.

Part B:
If the particle moves from point b to point c in the y-direction, what is the change in its potential energy, Vc-Vb?

a. + 1.60×1019J
b. - 1.60×1019J
c. 0

Write a Python/NetworkX function add_weights(G1, G1), where G1 and G1 are intended to be graphs with exactly the same edges and such that each edge has either no attribute or a single attribute, ‘weight’, with a numerical value. It returns a graph, say, G3, that has the same edges as G1 and G2. Each edge e of G3 has a single attribute, ‘weight’, whose value is the sum of the ‘weight’ attributes of e in G1 and of e in G2 if ein G1 and e in G2 both have attribute ‘weight’. Otherwise, if e in one of G1 or G2 has attribute ‘weight’, then the value of ‘weight’ in G3 is the value of that ‘weight’ attribute. Otherwise (i.e., neither e in G1 nor e in G2 has attribute ‘weight’), the value of attribute ‘weight’ in e in G3is 0. This function returns G3.

Note that, where G is a graph with an edge (u, v), G[u][v] counts as False in a position expecting a Boolean value if the edge (u, v)in G has no edge attributes. This is useful in this problem since an edge either has a single attribute, ‘weight’, or has no attribute.

The following is test code, followed by its output.

if __name__ == "__main__"  :     

    Ga = nx.Graph()

    Ga.add_edges_from([(0, 1, {'weight': 2}), (1, 2, {'weight': 4}),

                      (2, 3), (3, 1, {'weight': 2}), (0, 3)])

    Gb = nx.Graph()

    Gb.add_edges_from([(0, 1, {'weight': 3}), (1, 2, {'weight': 5}),

                      (2, 3, {'weight':3}), (3, 1), (0, 3)])

           

    for u, v, attr in add_weights(Ga, Gb).edges(data=True):

        wGa = Ga[u][v]['weight'] if Ga[u][v] else None

        wGb = Gb[u][v]['weight'] if Gb[u][v] else None

        print("Edge ({}, {}): {} + {} = {}".format(u, v, wGa, wGb,

                                                    attr['weight']))

Output:

Edge (0, 1): 2 + 3 = 5

Edge (0, 3): None + None = 0

Edge (1, 2): 4 + 5 = 9

Edge (1, 3): 2 + None = 2

Edge (3, 2): None + 3 = 3

You are working on your second project as an equity research intern at a bulge investment bank. Your focus is in retail space, especially in the health and fitness sector. Currently, you are gathering information on a fast-growing chain fitness company called LuluYoga. You are interested in calculating the free cash flow of the firm. LuluYoga offers yoga classes in several major cities in the United States. Two major revenue resources are selling workout gear and membership passes for class access. Assume at the beginning of year 2016, LuluYoga has zero inventory. In year 2016, LuluYoga purchased 10,000 yoga mats at a price of $10 each. The company sells 6,000 mats at a price of $15 in year 2016 and sells the remaining at a price of $20 in year 2017. In year 2016, LuluYoga sells 1,000 membership passes for $2,000 each. 80% of the classes purchased were used in 2016 and the rest are used in 2017.The yoga master’s compensation to teach classes are $300K in year 2016 and $200K in year 2017. LuluYoga pays corporate tax of 35%.

Rolt Company began 2016 with a $120,000 balance in retained earnings. During the year, the following events occurred:

  1. The company earned net income of $80,000.
  2. A material error in net income from a previous period was corrected. This error correction increased retained earnings by $9,800 after related income taxes of $4,200.
  3. Cash dividends totaling $13,000 and stock dividends totaling $17,000 were declared.
  4. One thousand shares of callable preferred stock that originally had been issued at $110 per share were recalled and retired at the beginning of 2016 for the call price of $120 per share.
  5. Treasury stock (common) was acquired at a cost of $20,000. State law requires a restriction of retained earnings in an equal amount. The company reports its retained earnings restrictions in a note to the financial statements.

Required:

1. Prepare a statement of retained earnings for the year ended December 31, 2016.

Does regular exercise reduce the risk of a heart attack in males over 40 years of age? Here are two ways to study this question.


Does regular exercise reduce the risk of a heart attack in males over 40 years of age? Here are two ways to study this question.
STUDY A: A medical researcher finds 2000 men over 40 who have had heart attacks. She also finds 2000 men over 40 who have not had a heart attack. She asks each man in each group whether they exercised regularly as part of his usual lifestyle.
STUDY B: Another researcher finds 4000 men over 40 who have not had heart attacks and are willing to participate in a study. She assigns 2000 of the men to a regular program of supervised exercise. The other 2000 continue their usual habits. The researcher follows both groups for three years.
a) Name the explanatory and response variables in this study.
b) What type of study design is used in each of Study A and Study B?
c) Which design will produce more trustworthy data? Explain why.

The Graded Naming Test (GNT) asks respondents to name objects in a set of 30 black and white drawings in order to detect brain damage. The GNT population norm for adults in England is 20.4. Researchers wondered whether a sample for Canadian adults had different scores from adults in England (Roberts, 2003). If the scores were different, the English norms would not be valid for use in Canada. The mean for 30 Canadian adults was 17.5. Assume that the standard deviation of the adults in England is 3.2. How can we calculate a 95% Confidence Interval (CI) for these data?

1. Calculate a 95% CI and a 90% CI for this data.
2. Are the English norms valid for use in Canadian use? Explain how you know your answer to be true.
3. How do the two CI’s (95% and 90%) compare to one another?
4. What is the effect size for these data?
5. What does this effect size indicate about the meaningfulness of this test for Canadians?
What would you recommend doing to increase the power of this experiment?
