The law regarding product liability has evolved over time.
(1) Describe the difference between what was required to find a manufacturer liable in negligence to a consumer for a defective product before and after the MacPherson v. Buick Motor Co. case.
(2) Describe the difference between what was required to find a manufacturer liable to a consumer for a defective product after MacPherson v. Buick Motor Co. and what is required under the legal doctrine of strict liability in contract.
(3) Describe the difference between what was required to find a manufacturer strictly liable for an injured consumer before and after the Greenman v. Yuba Power Products case.

From our bottle of wine; 3x 100 mL sample replicates were produced and the pH adjusted to pH 7.9 by addition of 4.0 mL of NH4OH (0.5 M) with phosphate buffer. The solution was then coloured with 1.0 mL of 2% (w/v) dye solution and 1.0 mL of 8% (w/v) K3Fe(CN)6 solution. The resulting solutions were left to stand for 15 minutes for colour development.
(v) This reaction is analogous to that shown in the lecture notes, yielding identical products. If phenol compounds are oxidised… what reagent is reduced? Write a generalised equation for this reaction. What is the role of the Fe3+ complex?

Consider a simple electrostatic capacitor constructed from two electrodes consisting of perfect conductors, where the electric charge Q on the positively-charged conductor is related to the potential difference V between the electrodes by Q=CV. Suppose the potential difference V of the capacitor is held fixed, by attaching its electrodes via very thin, perfectly conducting leads to the terminals of an ideal battery. Define a free energy G for the capacitor, such that dG=đW for work done by the external agent with the capacitor's voltage held at fixed potential difference V. Show that G may be regarded as a suitable Legendre transformation of the electrostatic energy U.

During 2018, a company has the following transactions:
i. Sells $30,000 worth of merchandise on credit. The company will collect the accounts in 2019.
ii. Records $3,000 in electricity expense for the month of December. Electricity bills are paid the next month.
iii. Purchases a $12,000 prepaid insurance policy that expires in 2020.
iv. Pays a $1,000 fine for dumping waste materials in a river.
v. Receives $20,000 in magazine subscription proceeds for 12 issues delivered to customers in 2019.
Which of the above transactions will result in a deferred tax asset?
ii and iv
i and iii
iii and iv
ii and v
why is the correct answer is ii and v

An LED has a forward voltage drop of 2.25 V. As seen in the
figure, it is in series with: an AC source of V(t)=V0sin(2πft) with
V0= 4.00 V, f=1 Hz, and a resistor R= 200 Ω
d. The whole flash:
1) If you were watching the LED, you would see it turn on and off
with a period of 1s. During the 1s period, compute how long the LED
is on (the time Δt of each pulse).
2) How much light energy is emitted during the entire LED light
pulse? Hint: you first need to find the total photons emitted
during the whole light pulse.

A container with mass m kg is dropped by a helicopter from height h km at time t=0, with zero velocity. from the outset, its fall is controlled by gravity and the force of air resitance, f(v)= -kv, where v is the current velocity of the container. in t seconds after the drop, a parachute opens, resulting in an increase of air resistance up to f(v) = -kv. determine the time t at which the container touches the ground. and its velocity at this moment. if m = 200 kg, h = 2000 m, t = 20 s, k = 10 kg/s, and k = 400 kg/s

Billiard ball A of mass mA = 0.122 kg moving with speed vA = 2.80 m/s strikes ball B, initially at rest, of mass mB = 0.145 kg . As a result of the collision, ball A is deflected off at an angle of θ′A = 30.0∘ with a speed v′A = 2.10 m/s, and ball B moves with a speed v′B at an angle of θ′B to original direction of motion of ball A.
1) Solve these equations for the angle, θ′B, of ball B after the collision. Do not assume the collision is elastic.
2)Solve these equations for the speed, v′B, of ball B after the collision. Do not assume the collision is elastic.

Assume, that you open the two stopcock so that the gases can flow freely.
Calculate the change of the chemical potential of the entire system due to mixing the gases.
Using the change of the chemical potential of gases show that the mixing of three gases is spontaneous

Everyone who is nice to all dogs is loved by somebody.
∀x (∀y dog(y) ⇒ Kind(x,y)) ⇒ (∃y Loves(y,x))
Demonstrate how to convert it to CNF.
You should get:
( dog(F(x)) v (Loves(G(x),x)) ^ (~nice(x,F(x)) v Loves(G(x),x))
Step 1: Remove the biconditionals and implications.
Step 2: Move the negations inward.
Step 3: Standardize variables
Step 4: Skolemize
Step 5: Drop universal quantifiers
Step 6: Distribute v over ^
