In King’s speech, he claimed: “America has defaulted on this promissory note insofar as her citizens of color are concerned.” Then proclaimed: “So we have come to cash this check…” Most people recognize that he was not talking about money, but he was talking about certain human rights that should be granted to all U.S. citizens. Discuss at least two of those rights and comment on the extent to which you believe those rights have been provided for citizens of color in today’s America. Provide reasons and examples to support your view. Most people who have heard or read this speech agree that it is eloquent, passionate, and persuasive. Could a moral relativist have been as eloquent and persuasive? Provide a rationale for your views

c) Explain how the creep response of a viscoelastic material is different than the stress-relaxation response of that material. Provide an example of one biological material for which creep is a significant issue to deal with and one biological material for which stress-relaxation is a significant issue to deal with.

A flea is able to jump straight up about 0.52 m. It has been said that if a flea were as big as a human, it would be able to jump over a 100-story building! When an animal jumps, it converts work done in contracting muscles into gravitational potential energy (with some steps in between). The maximum force exerted by a muscle is proportional to its cross-sectional area, and the work done by the muscle is this force times the length of contraction. If we magnified a flea by a factor of 1040, the cross section of its muscle would increase by 10402 and the length of contraction would increase by 1040. How high would this "super flea" be able to jump? (Don't forget that the mass of the "super flea" increases as well.)
