1.) Your friend is catching a falling basketball after it has passed through the basket. Her hands move straight down while catching the ball. Take that it takes about 0.10 s for the player to lower her hands to stop the ball. Assume the mass of the ball to be 0.60 kg, and that it has fallen a vertical distance of 1.2 m before reaching the player's hand. Determine the average force that her hands exert on the ball while catching it.
2.) On a frictionless horizontal air table, puck A (with mass 0.248kg ) is moving toward puck B (with mass 0.372kg ), which is initially at rest. After the collision, puck A has velocity 0.125m/s to the left, and puck B has velocity 0.653m/s to the right.
What was the speed vAi of puck A before the collision?
Calculate ?K, the change in the total kinetic energy of the system that occurs during the collision.

Many people find that they spend a lot of time on their smartphones each day without realizing how long they are scrolling through apps or playing games. A researcher wanted to test whether a mindfulness intervention would help people be more aware of how much time they spend on their phones, and if this might lead to decreased time spent on their phones each day. To perform this study, participants used an app that tracks phone usage in minutes the week before the mindfulness intervention, and the week after the intervention. Hypothetical data (in minutes) are provided in the table

Write a Java Program using the concept of objects and classes. Make sure you have two files Employee.java and EmployeeRunner.java. Use the template below for ease. (Please provide detailed explanation)
Class Employee
Class Variables:
Name
Work hour per week
Hourly payment
Class Methods:
- Get/Sets
- generateAnnualSalary(int:Duration of employment)
annual salary = Hourly payment * Work hours per week * 50
If the employee is working for more than 5 years,
10% added bonus
-void displayAnnualSalary ( )
before and after tax considering there’s an effective 25% tax
Class EmployeeRunner
main method
- Create an object of type Employee
- Prompt the user to insert name, work hour per week, hourly payment and duration of
employment in years

Light Bulbs
A red light bulb has been flashing forever, according to a Poisson process with rate r. Similarly, a blue bulb has been flashing forever, according to an independent Poisson process with rate b. Let us fix t to be 12 o'clock.
1 What is the expected length of the interval that t belongs to? That is, find the expected length of the interval from the last event before t until the first event after t. Here, an event refers to either bulb flashing.
2 What is the probability that t belongs to an RR interval? (That is, the first event before, as well as the first event after time t, are both red flashes.)
3 What is the probability that between t and t+1, we have exactly two events: a red flash followed by a blue flash?

Zetatron is an all-equity firm with 270 million shares outstanding, which are currently trading for $16.62 per share. A month ago, Zetatron announced it will change its capital structure by borrowing $672 million in short-term debt, borrowing $ 812 million in long-term debt, and issuing $636 million of preferred stock. The $2 comma 120 million raised by these issues, plus another $ 75 million in cash that Zetatron already has, will be used to repurchase existing shares of stock. The transaction is scheduled to occur today. Assume perfect capital markets.
a. What is the market value balance sheet for Zetatron
i. Before this transaction?
ii. After the new securities are issued but before the share repurchase?
iii. After the share repurchase?
b. At the conclusion of this transaction, how many shares outstanding will Zetatron have, and what will the value of those shares be?

A health spa has advertised a weight reducing program and has claimed that the average participant in the program loses at least 20 pounds. A somewhat overweight executive is interested in the program but is skeptical about the claims and asks for some hard evidence. The spa allows him to select randomly the records of ten participants and record their weights before and after the program.
Test whether the average weight loss is at least 20 pounds.
Participant Before After
Ross Erickson 189 170
Josh Way 202 179
Laura Ewok 220 203
Luke Haas 207 192
Brandon Bott 194 172
etc. etc. etc.
State H0 and H1. You MUST show the five-step process for determining H0 and H1. (1 pt.) Be very careful how you handle the 20 pound difference! The variable with the larger numbers MUST be on the left.
