Cara Ryder managers a ski school in a large resort and is trying to develop a schedule for instructors. The instructors receive little salary and work just enough to earn room and board. The receive free skiing and spend most of their free time tackling the resort’s notorious double black-diamond slopes. Hence, the instructors work only 4 days a week. One of the lesson packages offered at the resort is a 4-day beginner package. Ryder likes to keep the same instructor with a group over the 4-day period, so she schedules the instructors for 4 consecutive days and then 3 days off. Ryder uses years of experience with demand forecasts provided by management to formulate her instructor requirements for the upcoming month.

a) Determine how many instructors Ryder needs to employ. Give preference to Saturday and Sunday off. (Hint: Look for the group of 3 days with the lowest requirements.)
b) Specify the work schedule for each employee. How much slack does your schedule generate for each day?

A playground is on the flat roof of a city school, 5.00 m above the street below. The vertical wall of the building is 6.00 m high, forming a 1.00 m high railing around the playground. A ball has fallen to the street below, and a passerby returns it by launching it at an angle of 53.0° above the horizontal at a point 26.0 m from the base of the building wall. The ball takes 2.10 s to reach a point vertically above the wall.
(a) Find the speed at which the ball was launched.
??? m/s
(b) Find the vertical distance by which the ball clears the
wall.
??? m
(c) Find the distance from the wall to the point on the roof where
the ball lands.

Children playing in a playground on the flat roof of a city school lose their ball to the parking lot below. One of the teachers kicks the ball back up to the children as shown in the figure below. The playground is 4.80 m above the parking lot, and the school building's vertical wall is h = 6.30 m high, forming a 1.50 m high railing around the playground. The ball is launched at an angle of θ = 53.0° above the horizontal at a point d = 24.0 m from the base of the building wall. The ball takes 2.20 s to reach a point vertically above the wall. (Due to the nature of this problem, do not use rounded intermediate values in your calculations—including answers submitted in WebAssign.) A man on the ground kicking a ball to children on a flat rooftop is shown. The distance between the man and the building is labeled d. The height of the building is labeled h. The motion of the ball is depicted as a parabola originating from the man on the ground and ending at the rooftop. The vector of the initial motion of the ball makes an angle θ with the horizontal. (a) Find the speed (in m/s) at which the ball was launched. 18.12698 Correct: Your answer is correct. m/s (b) Find the vertical distance (in m) by which the ball clears the wall. 1.833 Correct: Your answer is correct. m (c) Find the horizontal distance (in m) from the wall to the point on the roof where the ball lands. 4.06 Correct: Your answer is correct. m (d) What If? If the teacher always launches the ball with the speed found in part (a), what is the minimum angle (in degrees above the horizontal) at which he can launch the ball and still clear the playground railing? (Hint: You may need to use the trigonometric identity sec2(θ) = 1 + tan2(θ).) 37.45 Incorrect: Your answer is incorrect. What is the final x-position? The final y-position? How much time does it take the ball to travel to the final x-position in terms of the angle? Using this result in the equation for the final y-position, you should be able to write a quadratic equation for tangent of the angle. Be sure to use the trigonometric identity in the hint. ° above the horizontal (e) What would be the horizontal distance (in m) from the wall to the point on the roof where the ball lands in this case?

1.) If a donor endows a professorial chair at a school, he or she gives a gift and indicates that the earnings from the gift must be used by a specific professor. Would the initial gift be recorded in a fund with donor restrictions or a fund without donor restrictions? Would the earnings be recorded in a fund with donor restrictions or a fund without donor restrictions?
2.) A board sets aside resources to earn investment income to support general operations. Would the resources set aside be recorded in a fund with donor restrictions or a fund without donor restrictions? Would the earnings be recorded in a fund with donor restrictions or a fund without donor restrictions?
3.)The Abby Arboretum (AA) is a not-for-profit organization that has several programs, including gardening, grade-school education, environmental efforts, and a reforestation program. It draws many volunteers for its efforts. Indicate which, if any, of the following activities should be recorded as donated services.
An architect drew up blueprints for a new greenhouse free of charge. AA would have hired an architect otherwise.
The architect makes phone calls to past clients and investors to raise contributions on behalf of AA for a capital campaign to finance the greenhouse.
After the greenhouse is built, the architect spends several days planting vegetables and flowers.
4.) Indicate whether each of the following actions would result in a change in net assets without donor restrictions or net assets with donor restrictions this year:
A donor gives the organization a cash contribution to be used for expanding the organization’s food pantry program.
The organization earns an unrealized gain on its permanent endowment. A donor pledges money to the organization but has not paid it yet.
The donor does not indicate how the money is to be used.
The organization sells goods from its online bookstore.
A donor gives the organization cash and specifies that the money is to be used in 4 years.
A donor gives 1,000 shares of Apple stock and stipulates the proceeds of the stock are not to be spent but held in perpetuity.

A nurse says that her conscience clearly dictates that she should not assist at a particular operation. One of the doctors present says that he went to a Catholic medical school and he would assure her that the operation is not immoral. Should the nurse follow her conscience or the advice of the doctor?
