I am supposed to answer these conceptual questions with this lab simulator, but I can never get the simulator to work https://phet.colorado.edu/en/simulation/legacy/energy-skate-park

Help please?

Energy State Park Lab Handout

Click on the “Energy State Park Simulation” link to perform simulations in the setup satisfying the given conditions.

Upon opening the simulation, the skate should be alternating between the walls of the skate park with no friction added and with Earth’s gravity. Click on the Show Pie Chart under the Energy Graphs section.

1. With no friction, will his motion every stop?

2. What principle can be applied to this situation?

3. What type of forces are applied here? (Conservative/Non-conservative)

4. What happens to the skater’s potential energy has he falls down a wall to the valley? What about when he moves up a wall from the valley?

5. What happens to the skater’s kinetic energy has he falls down a wall to the valley? What about when he moves up a wall from the valley?

6. Will any kinetic energy be transformed into thermal energy? If so , why? If not, why?

7. Where does the skater have the maximum potential energy?

8. Where does the skater have the maximum kinetic energy?

Now change the coefficient of friction to half way between None and Lots.

1. Are there any non-conservative forces in this simulation? If so what force?

2. With friction, will the skater ever stop?

3. Would thermal energy be created with this situation?

Conceptual Questions:

1. What is the formula for kinetic energy?

2. What is the formula for gravitational potential energy?

3. If the 75 kg skater reaches a maximum height of 5 feet, what is his maximum gravitational potential energy? (Hint: remember to convert to meters).

4. Is gravitational potential energy a conservative or non-conservative force? Is friction force a conservative or non-conservation force?

For this assignment, you will use the six-step hypothesis testing process (noted below) to run and interpret a correlation analysis using SPSS. The following vignette will inform you of the context for this assignment. A data file is provided in the week’s resources for use in this assignment.

A manager is interested in studying the associations between a number of variables. These variables are age, years of experience, level of education, engagement, job satisfaction, and performance level. She thinks that employees with more years of experience are more engaged and satisfied. She thinks that younger employees will perform at a higher level, on average.

1. State the null and alternative hypotheses.
2. Select the significance level.
3. Select the test statistics and calculate its value.
4. Identify critical values for the test statistics and state the decision rule concerning when to reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis.
5. Compare the calculated and critical values to reach a conclusion for the null hypothesis.
6. Explain the related business decision.

After conducting the above analysis please structure your paper as follows:

• Introduction to the assignment
• Hypotheses
• Results of the analysis (Hint. You may use an APA-style table to display these data. SPSS output images are not in APA style).
• Did the analysis support each of the hypotheses?
• Explain what decisions the manager might make using these findings.

Length: 4 to 6 pages not including title and reference page

Individuals who own homes may take a tax deduction for interest paid. Many individuals believe that this tax law discriminates against individuals who rent. Do you think this deduction is discriminatory? Explain and share your thoughts.

Additionally, gifts and inheritances have been excluded from gross income since 1913. Discuss the tax consequences of gifts made of property and any income produced by the property. What, if any, are the exclusions and taxable income according to Section 102?

Directions: For each problem, use the specified approach to decide whether to reject the null hypothesis. In each case, be sure to: 1) Cite your evidence a. For the p-value approach, write the p-value and compare it to ? b. For the Critical Value approach, look up the CV(s) and either apply the appropriate mathematical rule or draw the rejection region diagram 2) State your conclusion about the null hypothesis (i.e. Reject ?o; Do not reject ?a) 3) State your conclusion about the alternative hypothesis (i.e. accept ?; ? is unsupported) 1. Consider a lower tail test at the ?0.10 significance level with test statistic ?1.19.
a) Use the Critical Value approach to decide whether to reject ?o.














b) Use the p-value approach to decide whether to reject ?o.
















Questions continue on the back
2. Consider a two-tailed test at the ?0.01 significance level with test statistic ?1.98. a) Use the Critical Value approach to decide whether to reject ?o.













b) Use the p-value approach to decide whether to reject ?o.







3. Consider an upper tail test at the ?0.05 significance level with test statistic ?2.54. a) Use the Critical Value approach to decide whether to reject ?o.













b) Use the p-value approach to decide whether to reject ?o.

Directions: Write out the solution for this hypothesis test: a) State the hypotheses (?a ??? ?o b) Calculate the appropriate test statistic, showing your work (at minimum, show the formula, the numbers filled into the formula, and the final answer). Round to two decimal places. c) Decide whether or not to reject ?. State your decision clearly. a. For this step, you must show both the critical value approach and the p-value approach d) Interpret the hypothesis test in terms of the original question. Be sure to reference the significance level in your interpretation. Answer the question: is there evidence that the customers at the new location are waiting too long on average?    

4. No customer wants to wait a long time in a checkout line. A retailer established a policy for mean time to check out at 240 seconds. After opening a new location, the retailer asked an analyst to see whether the new store was exceeding this standard (that is, whether customers were waiting too long to check out on average).

The analyst took a random sample of 30 customers at the new location and measured the time they had to wait to check out. In the sample of customers, the mean waiting time was 274 seconds. Drawing on past experience with checkout times, the analyst assumed a population standard deviation of 70 seconds.

Perform and interpret a hypothesis test to determine whether the population mean waiting time at the new location is longer than 240 seconds. Use an ?0.01 significance level.

9) A woman gave birth at 0600 and it is now 1000. She calls you to her room to check in on her vaginal bleeding. She describes her bleeding as bright red, leaking about three quarters worth of blood on her pad since her last pad change at 0730, and a clot the size of a pinky fingertip. You go to assess her loch (afterbirth bleeding) and find her description to match your objective findings.

Is this normal or abnormal?

What can you tell her about this stage of lochia?

What can you tell her to expect for her lochia in the coming days to weeks?

10) You check on the fundal height of the patient in question 9 to get some more information. You notice that her fundus is at the level of the umbilicus. Is this normal? Where would you find the fundus by day 2 and day 10-12?
