A small car dealership keeps a log of how many cars it sells. During the last 7 months, they sold a total of 140 cars. They also monitor accuracy of their forecasting model by calculating the tracking signal. Following is the data for the last 7 months. They use +5 and -5 as their tracking signal UCL and LCL. How is the model performing?
| Month | Tracking Signal |
| 1 | -1.0 |
| 2 | -1.5 |
| 3 | -2.0 |
| 4 | -2.0 |
| 5 | -3.5 |
| 6 | -5.8 |
| 7 | -9.5 |

Suppose a star the size of our Sun, but with mass 5.0 times as great, were rotating at a speed of 1.0 revolution every 18 days. If it were to undergo gravitational collapse to a neutron star of radius 14 km , losing three-quarters of its mass in the process, what would its rotation speed be? Assume also that the thrown- off mass carries off either
part a. no angular momentum
part b. its proportional share three-quarters of the initial angular momentum

A home run is hit in such a way that the baseball just clears a wall 16 m high, located 122 m from home plate. The ball is hit at an angle of 33° to the horizontal, and air resistance is negligible. (Assume that the ball is hit at a height of 1.0 m above the ground.)
What is the initial speed of the ball?
How long does it take the ball to reach the wall?
What is the velocity of the ball (x and y-component)?
What is the speed of the ball when it reaches the wall?

A spherical stainless steel (? = 7,800 kgm-3; c = 460 Jkg-1K-1; k = 17 Wm-1K-1; ? = 0.9) reactor of 1.0-m inner diameter and 1.0-cm wall thickness is filled with reactants (? = 1,100 kgm-3; c = 4,200 Jkg-1K-1) that are initially at 25 ?C. An exothermic reaction within the reactor generates heat uniformly at a temperature-dependent volumetric rate of Qoexp(-A/T), where Qo = 6 kWm-3, A = 85 K and T is the reactive mixture temperature in K. The exterior surface of the reactor is exposed to 25 ?C ambient air with a convective heat transfer coefficient of 20 Wm-2K-1, and also exchanges radiation with surrounding surfaces that are at 35 ?C. The reactant mixture is well stirred with a convective heat transfer coefficient of 250 Wm-2K-1 so that the temperature within the reactor is nearly uniform. You may neglect the thermal capacitance of the reactor wall and consider the instantaneous heat transfer rate through the reactor wall to be equal to the instantaneous rate of heat loss to the air and surroundings.
a) What is the temperature of the reactant mixture after 5 hours of process time?
b) What is the temperature at the outer surface of the reactor at that time?
c) What is the steady-state temperature of the outer surface of the reactor?

Materials:
Reaction Buffer 0.5 M Tris HCl pH 8.0 with 5 mM MgCl2
Alkaline phosphatase: 500 μg/mL stock solution in the buffer above. Keep enzyme on ice!
p-nitrophenyl phosphate: 1000 μM and 10000 μM stock solutions in reaction buffer
1) Using the enzyme stock solution above and the dilution equation, calculate the volumes needed to prepare 2 mL of three enzyme dilutions consisting of 100 μg/mL, 125 μg/mL, and 150 μg/mL. Use the reaction buffer to make these dilutions.
2) Calculate the amount of substrate needed for each of the following concentrations 10 μM, 25 μM, 50 μM, 100 μM, 200 μM, 500 μM, 1000 μM, and 2000 μM using the two stock solution concentrations listed above. Use the 1000 μM stock solution to calculate dilutions from 10-200 μM and the 10,000 μM stock solution to calculate from 500 μM-2000 μM. The final volume is 1.0 mL (or 1000 μL) for each dilution. Also calculate the volume of buffer needed, given that we will add 100 μL of the enzyme solution and the final volume is 1.0 mL (or 1000 μL) for each dilution.
