An extremely thin sheet of glass is being inspected at the factory. Illuminated by white light at near-normal incidence, the film-like sheet is 0.402 µm thick and has air on both sides. If the glass has a refractive index of 1.52, what wavelength of visible light (in nm) does it reflect most strongly? (The wavelengths of visible light range from 400 to 700 nm.)

Research and Development:

The Thomas Company is in the process of developing a revolutionary new product. A new division of the company was formed to develop, manufacture, and market this product. As of year‐end (December 31, 2017), the product has not been manufactured for resale; however, a prototype unit was built and is in operation.

Throughout 2017 the division incurred certain costs. These costs include design and engineering studies, prototype manufacturing costs, administrative expenses (including salaries of administrative personnel), and market research costs. In addition, $500,000 in equipment (estimated useful life: 10 years) was purchased for use in developing and manufacturing the preproduction prototype and will be used to manufacture the product. Approximately $200,000 of this equipment was built specifically for the design and development of the product; the remaining $300,000 of equipment will be used to manufacture the product once it is in commercial production.

Required:

  1. How is research and development defined in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 2?
  2. Briefly indicate the practical and conceptual reasons for the conclusion reached by the FASB on accounting and reporting practices for R&D costs.
  3. In accordance with SFAS No. 2, how should the various costs of Thomas just described be reported in the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017?

"He should not have built the fire under the spruce tree. He should have built it in the open. But it had been easier to pull the twigs from the brush and drop them directly on the fire. Now the tree under which he had done this carried a weight of snow on its boughs. No wind had blown for weeks, and each bough was fully freighted. Each time he had pulled a twig he had communicated a slight agitation to the tree - an imperceptible agitation, so far as he was concerned, but an agitation sufficient to bring about the disaster. High up in the tree one bough capsized its load of snow. This fell on the boughs beneath, capsizing them. This process continued, spreading out and involving the whole tree. It grew like an avalanche, and it descended without warning upon the man and the fire, and the fire was blotted out!"

question: Phone Number CheckingAlice has been having trouble with people filling her website’s form incorrectly, especially with phone numbers. She’d like tomake sure a user’s phone number input only has digits (other than -) and is exactly 10 digits long.Finishvalidphonenumber(string)such that the function returns True if a phone number is valid, and False if not.

def valid_phone_number(number: str) -> bool:
    """
    Return True if the number is a valid phone number. A valid phone number:
    1) Has exactly 10 digits (we are excluding the country code)
    2) Only has digits (no alphabets or special characters)
    3) May have "-" to split numbers. Example: 0123456789 and 012-345-6789 are
    BOTH valid

    Do *not* use loops for this problem. Try to make sure you only use built-ins

    Hint: you will need 3 built-in string methods

    >>> valid_phone_number("0123456789")
    True

    >>> valid_phone_number("012-345-6789")
    True

    >>> valid_phone_number("01-23-45-67-89")
    True
    """
    # TODO: do some checking here

    # change this
    return True

  1. Design a ship class that has the following data fields:
    • A data field for the name of the ship (a string).
    • A data field for the year that the ship was built (a String).
    • A constructor and appropriate accessors and mutators.
    • A toString method that displays the ship’s name and the year it was built.
  2. Design a CruiseShip class that extends the Ship class. The CruiseShip class should have the following member:
    • A field for the maximum number of passengers (an int).
    • A constructor and appropriate accessors and mutators.
    • A toString method that overrides the toString method in the base class. The CruiseShip class's toString method should display only the ships name and the maximum number of passengers.
  3. Design a CargoShip class that extends the Ship class. The CargoShip class should have the following members:
    • A field for the cargo capacity in tonnage (an int).
    • A constructor and appropriate accessors and mutators.
    • A toString method that overrides the toString method in the base class. The CargoShip class's toString method should display only the ships name and ship’s cargo capacity.
  4. Demonstrate the classes in a program that has a Ship array.  Assign various Ship, CruiseShip, and CargoShip objects to the array elements. The program should then step through the array, calling each objects toString method.

A 25.25 kg child is riding a playground merry-go-round that is rotating at 35.5 rev/min.

(A) What net force is acting on her if she is standing on the merry-go-round 1.4 m from its center in newtons? The net force in this situation is sometimes called "centripetal force".

(B) What net force (in N) is acting on her if she is standing on an amusement park merry-go-round that rotates at 3.2 rpm and she is 7.6 m from its center?

(C) How many times her weight is the force in part (a)?

While investigating a group of defective solar arrays, taken from the Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park in Dubai, you notice three main classifications of defects. 27% of defects are related to a cell’s semiconductor material bandgap, 51% are related to impact damage, and 22% are age-related in nature. Over the study period, 3 instances of material bandgap defects and 5 occurrences of age-related defects are recorded. What is the most probable number of recorded defects related to impact damage?

Note: This problem is related to discrete probability distribution ( I think multinomial distribution should be used)
