Hi,
One definition of sustainable business is "Sustainable business, or green business, is an enterprise that has minimal negative impact on the global or local environment, community, society, or economy.

A certain ultrasound device can measure a fetal heart rate as low as 50 beats per minute. This corresponds to the surface of the heart moving at about 4.0 x 10-4 m/s. If the probe generates ultrasound that has a frequency of 2.0 MHz (1 MHz = 1 megahertz = 106 Hz), what frequency shift must the machine be able to detect? Use v sound = 1540 m/s for the speed of sound in human tissue.

A particular human hair has a Young's modulus of 3.77×109 N/m2and a diameter of 146 μm.
If a 256 g object is suspended by the single strand of hair that is originally 15.5 cmlong, by how much ΔL hair
will the hair stretch?
If the same object were hung from an aluminum wire of the same dimensions as the hair, by how much ΔLAl
would the aluminum stretch?
If the strand of hair is modeled as a spring, what is its spring constant khair?

How might implicit biases affect our conscience? In Chapter 4, Ruggiero (2014) claims that our conscience is a good starting place for moral judgments, but we should not rely exclusively on it, since it can lead us astray. Do you think the fact that we have implicit biases might support this claim? Why or why not? Can you think of other features of human psychology that might make conscience an unreliable guide to morality?
