A car with inertia 1500kg is driving down a one-way street at 15 m. An unobservant s
driver of a 2000kg pickup truck is driving the wrong way down the street at −10 ms , and runs head on into the car. (Assuming the system consists of the car and the truck only)
a) What is the velocity of the car after the collision if the velocity of the truck is 5 ms ?
b) What is the coefficient of restitution for this collision? What type of collision is this?
c) What is the velocity of center of mass of the system?
d) Find the center-of-mass kinetic energy for the system.
e) What is convertible kinetic energy of the system before the collision?
f) What is the minimum amount of energy required to conserve the momentum of the system?
g) What is the total kinetic energy of the system before the collision?
h) What is the total kinetic energy of the system after the collision?
i) What is the change in kinetic energy of the system due to this collision? Since energy cannot be destroyed, explain what happens to this energy.

A tortoise and hare start from rest and have a race. As the race begins, both accelerate forward. The hare accelerates uniformly at a rate of 1.2 m/s2 for 4.4 seconds. It then continues at a constant speed for 11.8 seconds, before getting tired and slowing down with constant acceleration coming to rest 81 meters from where it started. The tortoise accelerates uniformly for the entire distance, finally catching the hare just as the hare comes to a stop.
1)
How fast is the hare going 3.1 seconds after it starts? See solution
2)
How fast is the hare going 12.5 seconds after it starts?
See solution
3)
How far does the hare travel before it begins to slow
down?
m
4)
What is the acceleration of the hare once it begins to slow
down?
m/s2
5)
What is the total time the hare is moving?
s
6)
What is the acceleration of the tortoise?

In 2004 the Pandora made a rights issue at $5 a share of one new share for every four shares held. Before the issue there were 100 million shares outstanding and the share price was $6. For questions (a) to (c) assume that all rights were exercised.
(a) What was the total amount of new money raised?
(b) What was the value of the right to buy one new share?
(c) What was the prospective stock price after the issue?
(d) How far could the stock price after the issue fall before shareholders would be unwilling to take up their rights?
(e) Suppose that the rights issue is at $4 rather than $5 per share. How many new shares would it have needed to sell to raise the same sum of money? How do your answers to (b) and (d) change? Are the shareholders any better or worse off with the $4 exercise price?

Which of the following are suitable null hypotheses. If not, explain why.
a. Comparing two groups
Consider comparing the average blood pressure of a group of subjects, both before and after they are placed on a low salt diet. In this case, the null hypothesis is that a low salt diet does reduce blood pressure, i.e., that the average blood pressure of the subjects is the same before and after the change in diet.
b. Classification.
Assume there are two classes, labeled + and -, where we are most interested in the positive class, e.g., the presence of a disease. H0 is the statement that the class of an object is negative, i.e., that the patient does not have the disease.
c. Association Analysis
For frequent patterns, the null hypothesis is that the items are independent and thus, any pattern that we detect is spurious.
d. Clustering
The null hypothesis is that there is cluster structure in the data beyond what might occur at random.
e. Anomaly Detection
Our assumption, H0, is that an object is not anomalous.

Lear Inc. has $870,000 in current assets, $385,000 of which are
considered permanent current assets. In addition, the firm has
$670,000 invested in fixed assets.
a. Lear wishes to finance all fixed assets and
half of its permanent current assets with long-term financing
costing 8 percent. The balance will be financed with short-term
financing, which currently costs 6 percent. Lear’s earnings before
interest and taxes are $270,000. Determine Lear’s earnings after
taxes under this financing plan. The tax rate is 40 percent.
b. As an alternative, Lear might wish to finance
all fixed assets and permanent current assets plus half of its
temporary current assets with long-term financing and the balance
with short-term financing. The same interest rates apply as in part
a. Earnings before interest and taxes will be $270,000.
What will be Lear’s earnings after taxes? The tax rate is 40
percent.

1. There is nothing like the smell of BBQ in the summertime. Many people use propane gas Barbeques to cook the perfect steak. Here is the reaction that is occurring while the steak sizzles on the grill:
C3H8(g) + O2(g) --> CO2(g) + H2O (g)
The balanced reaction has a DHorxn = -2217 kJ. If a steak must absorb 7.2x10-4 kJ to reach a perfect medium rare, and if only 15% of the heat produced by the barbeque is actually absorbed by the steak, what mass of H2O is emitted into the atmosphere when this steak is cooked? (Hint: don’t forget to balance the reaction)
2. A student performed this lab with a marshmallow. He used 50.0 g of water and recorded a temperature of 21°C before heating and 30°C after heating.
