Using Excel

Question 2: An electromagnetic projectile launcher has been built. You are tasked with developing a model for the velocity of the projectile.

The launcher stores energy in a capacitor, which is charged to a voltage, Vi prior to launch. The capacitor discharges to 2,000 V, Vf during the launch. The velocity of the projectile is measured for several different voltages as shown in the table.

  1. Create an Excel scatter chart with trendline for data set, selecting the best mathematical model type. Show the trendline equation and goodness of fit R2 on the chart. Include title, labels, and other standard information to properly document the plot.
  1. TKE, if the projectile is 30 kg for each launch and the capacitor is 2 F (farad).   Note: Energy remaining stored in the capacitor is not wasted, and can be used in the next launch; this is the residual or final energy stored in the capacitor. It may be helpful to record this for each event. From the problem statement, the residual voltage is 2000 V
  1. Determine the energy, Ewaste, which does not transfer from stored energy in the capacitor to kinetic energy

(Ewaste represents energy converted to heat, sound, light, etc.)

Hint: Energy stored in a capacitor is given by the relationship     E = ½ CV2 where C is the capacitance (2 F) and V is the voltage. This is calculated from the various voltage values shown, and the units are Joules (J).      TKE = ½*mass*Velocity2   This velocity corresponds to the charge voltage actually used.

Finally, recall the Law of Conservation of Energy discussed in Lesson 2. Energy in any form remains constant (energy is neither created nor destroyed by changes form), so the total energy of this system must be unchanged. This means that independent of the form (electrical, kinetic, or wasted) the net change in energy must be zero!

                                    in simple terms:            Initial energy = Kinetic Energy + Final Energy + Wasted Energy

  1. Show the fraction (percentage), Ewaste/Einitial for each launch.
  1. Create a second scatter plot of the fraction loss vs Initial voltage. Include title, labels and other standard information to properly document the plot.
  1. Using a trendline model, determine the polynomial which best describes the waste fraction as a function of initial voltage.

     (This is a perfect example of applying the curve fit "in a limited region"; is is not for all possible values of voltage)

Vi [V] Velocity [m/s] Energy, Initial (J) TKE (J) Energy, Final (J) Energy, Waste (J) Ewaste/Einitial

Microeconomics has traditionally been built on the foundation of rational choice.   However, since the 70’s insights from blending psychology and economics have been changing the landscape.   Some have argued this new line of thinking, most often associated with behavioral economics, has laid waste to the micro model of choice.  

To what extent does the rational choice model have a future?   Can it absorb the new insights from behavioral? Do you think we will have two competing models of choice going forward?

Terminal 5 (T5), built by British Airways for $8.6 billion, is London Heathrow Airport's newest state-...

Terminal 5 (T5), built by British Airways for $8.6 billion, is London Heathrow Airport's newest state- of-the-art facility. Made of glass, concrete, and steel, it's the largest free-standing building in the United Kingdom and has more than 10 miles of belts for moving luggage. At the terminal's unveiling in March of 2008, Queen Elizabeth ll described the facility as an important of Britain’s future. Alas the accolades didn't last long! After two decades in planning and 100 million hours in manpower, opening day didn't work out as planned. Endless lines and major baggage handling delays led to numerous flight cancellations stranding many irate passengers. Airport operators said the problems were triggered by glitches in the terminal's high-tech baggage-handling system.

With its massive automation features, T5 was planned to ease congestion at Heathrow and improve the flying experience for the 30 million passengers expected to pass through it annually. With 96 self-service check-in kiosks, more than 90fast check-in bag drops, 54 standard check-in desks, and miles of suitcase-moving belts estimated to be able to process 12,000 bags per hour, the facility's design seemed to support those goals.

However, within the first few hours of the terminal's operation, problems developed. Presumably understaffed, baggage workers were unable to clear incoming luggage fast enough. Arriving passengers waited more than an hour for their bags. Departing passengers tried in vain to check in for flights. Flights left with empty cargo holds. Sometime on day one, the airline checked in only those passengers with no luggage. And it didn't help that the moving belt system jammed at one point. Lesser problems also became apparent: a few broken escalators, some hand dryers that didn't work, a gate that wouldn't function at the new Underground station, and inexperienced ticket sellers who didn't know the fares between Heathrow and various stations on the Piccadilly line. By the end of the first full day of operation, Britain's Department of Transportation released a statement calling for British Airways and the airport operator BAA to get the problem fixed so customers would not be inconvenienced.

You might be tempted to think that all of this could have been prevented if British Airways had only tested the system. But thorough runs of all systems "from toilets to check in and seating" took place six months before opening, including four full-scale test runs using 16,000 volunteers.

Although T5’s debut was far from perfect, things have certainly changed. A recent customer satisfaction surveyshowed that 80 percent of passengers waited less than five minutes to check in. And those passengers are extremely satisfied with the terminal's lounges, catering, facilities, and ambience.

With the Summer Olympics in London, London’s Heathrow (and T5) grappled with a record passenger surge. As competitors, spectators, and media arrived. To cope with the deluge, some 1000 volunteers greeted arrivals, and special teams were assigned to deal with the athletes’’ oversize items like javelins, bikes, and other sports equipment. Despite the chaotic ‘birth’ of T5, it’s become a valued component of Heathrow and British Airways.

Please answer the following questions:

1- Define the main issues of this case study.

2- What type of control – feedforward, concurrent, or feedback- do you think would be most important in this situation? Explain your answer.

3- How might immediate corrective action have been used in this situation? How about basic corrective action?

4- What could companies learn from the smooth handling of the throngs of arrivals and departures for the Summer 2012 Olympics?

  1. Using the R built-in data set called Chick Weight, we want to compare the mean weight across the different types of Diet. IMPORTANT: We only want to compare chicks at the final value of Time, 21. In this problem, use ?? = 0.05.
    1. Make a boxplot to compare weight across the different types of Diet. Based on the boxplot, describe any differences (or lack of differences) you see.
    2. Run an ANOVA to compare weight across the different types of Diet. Is there a significant difference in means?
    3. Regardless of your answer to part b, using Tukey’s HSD approach, which pair or pairs of Diet have significantly different means?
    4. Check the assumptions of the ANOVA: Do the variances look similar across groups? And do the residuals look like they could have come from a Normal Distribution?

Answers should be in the form of R code on how to accomplish each part and include the correct statistical explanation for those that require it in the question. Please be as thorough as possible. Thank you so much!!!
