Assume that you are a loan officer. You are considering making a loan to a retail company–any such company that is actually located near your home. You want to use as collateral as many of the company’s assets as possible. For this assignment, you must: research the state records to see whether there are outstanding security interests in any or all of the company’s assets, and decide how much you would be willing to loan, by estimating the approximate worth of company assets that are not already securing another creditor’s loan.

1. According to the Chairman, what goals does Congress set for the Federal Reserve?
2. What is their current stance on interest rates in 2019?
3. What is happening to the economic indicators that he discussed in the statement (the ones we have already studied: consumption, business investment, net exports, unemployment/labor market, inflation, trade, etc.)? Please discuss each of these indicators.
4. What, if any, concerns does the Federal Reserve have about the economy in the near future that may cause them to change their monetary policy?

Use the concept of risk pooling to discuss the reasoning behind the provision in the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) to create state-based health insurance exchanges, where anyone (individuals or groups) would be eligible to purchase affordable coverage. Why private insurers, often not willing to sell insurance contracts to small employer groups before the enactment of PPACA, may be more inclined to offer an “essential benefits package” at affordable rates through such exchanges in the near future?

Assuming a linear speed-density relationship. the mean free speed is observed to be 65 mph at near zero density and the corresponding jam density is 160 veh/mi. Assume that the average length of vehicles is 20 feet.

a) Write down the equations for speed-density and flow-density relationships

b) Calculate the speed and density corresponding to a flow of 1000 veh/hr

c) Calculate the average time headway and average space headway when the traffic flow is at maximum value

A guard rail at the front row of the second deck of a sports stadium is 33 inches high. When someone sits back normally in a seat with a seat back in that section, the angle between the eye and the near edge of the playing field is 35 degrees below horizontal.

a) can an average person see over the rail? (use anthropometric data to make an estimate)

b) suggest how you would design the railing to prevent a front row fan from falling over the edge.

You are touring a distant planet on which the magnitude of the gravitational acceleration is 65% of that near the earth's surface. For a little adrenaline, you decide to jump off a precipice 500m above the planet's surface. After 5 seconds of free fall, you ignite the jet pack on your back, changing your acceleration to some new, constant value for the rest of your fall. If you reach the surface 26 seconds after ingiting the jet pack, with what speed do you land?

For each collection of three groups of addition problems below, choose one strategy from the following list that may be useful in solving each collection of three problems. (“One more than and two more than”, “doubles”, “combinations of 10”, “making 10”, “using 5 as an anchor”, “near-doubles”).

a. 5+2, 1+6, 2+7

b. 6+8, 5+4, 6+5

c. 7+4, 7+9, 9+3

A 100.0 m rod with a diameter of 3.0mm has a charge of 1004.0C. What is the approximate electric field 2.0mm from the surface of the rod, not near either end?

A) 9.0*10¹¹ r N/C

B) - 9.0*10¹¹ r N/C

C) - 5.2*10¹³ r N/C

D) 5.2*10¹³ r N/C

The answer is D, I am not sure how they got that answer, can you please explain and show your work. Thanks in advance

Two children, each with a mass of 25.4 kg, are at fixed locations on a merry-go-round (a disk that spins about an axis perpendicular to the disk and through its center). One child is 0.72 m from the center of the merry-go-round, and the other is near the outer edge, 3.07 m from the center. With the merry-go-round rotating at a constant angular speed, the child near the edge is moving with translational speed of 12.0 m/s.

(a) What is the angular speed of each child? ω 0.72 m = rad/s ω 3.07 m = rad/s

(b) Through what angular distance does each child move in 5.0 s? θ 0.72 m = rad θ 3.07 m = rad

(c) Through what distance in meters does each child move in 5.0 s? d 0.72 m = m d 3.07 m = m (d) What is the centripetal force experienced by each child as he or she holds on? Fc, 0.72 m = N Fc, 3.07 m = N

(e) Which child has a more difficult time holding on?

1.The outer child has a more difficult time holding on.

2.The inner child has a more difficult time holding on
