(Assume the car –truck to be an isolated system) (a) Sketch the situation. (b) Find the velocity of the truck immediately after the collision; (c) Find the kinetic energy of the car-truck system before and after the collision. (d) Is the car-truck collision elastic or inelastic? Explain (e) What is the change in momentum of the car? Assuming the collision time to be 2 seconds, how much average impact force did the car experience? (f)What is the change in the momentum of the truck? Solve for the impact force experienced by the truck.

suppose that companies located in Italy can produce 40,000 ton of Spaghetti Noodles for each year of labor they employ and, also using a year of labor, can produce 4 units of machinery. Suppose companies in Japan produce, with the same amount of labor 30,000 ton of Spaghetti Noodles and 6 units of machinery.

1. Which trade theory can best demonstrate the benefits of trade in this example and explain?
2. Explain whether each county can specialize in production of one product or not and determine which product to specialize.

c. Illustrate the amount of total production and consumption (combined both countries) before and after specialization and production, suppose that the total production after specialization will be divided equally between the two countries for consumption

Answer all parts. Write big, clear and legibly.  

A 0.10kg dart is fired horizontally at the center of a 0.80kg vertically hanging block, sticking to it. The system reaches a maximum height, h, of 0.20m above the collision point.

Find:

a) the velocity of the dart – block system just after the collision

b) the velocity of the dart before collision

c) the energy lost during the collision.

d) if the dart gains its speed due to a spring system that is initially compressed 0.05m from its equilibrium

position, determine the spring constant.

e) If the dart didn’t stick to

the block, but instead fell vertically after collision, would the initial velocity of the

dart have to be greater, less than, or equal to the velocity that was found in part (b)? Justify.

a block of mass 2.4 kg is sitting on a frictionless ramp with a spring at the bottom that has a spring constant of 490N/m the angle of the ramp with respect to the horizontal is 31 degrees

A.) the block starting from rest slides down the ramp a distance 78 cm before hitting the spring how far in cm is the spring compressed as the block comes to momentary rest?

B.) After the block comes to rest the spring pushes the block back up the ramp how fast in meters per second is the block moving right after it comes off the spring

C.) what is the change of the gravitational potential energy in joules between the original position of the block at the top of the ramp and the position of the block when spring is fully compressed?

Interest Rate Tax

Consider a two-period economy, where the consumers can lend or borrow and the income of the consumers in both periods is exogenous. Suppose the government introduces a tax on the interest earnings of the lenders. That is, while borrowers face a real interest rate of r before and after the tax is introduced, lenders face a real interest rate of (1 − x)r, where x is the tax rate, after the tax is introduced.

1. Show the effects of the increase in the tax rate on consumer’s lifetime budget constraint.

2. How does the tax affect the optimal choices (consumption in current and future periods and saving)? Show how income and substitution effects matter for your answer, and how it matters whether the consumer is initially a borrower or a lender

Brad Johnson (BJ) is a 54-year-old diagnosed with pituitary adenoma He undergoes a transsphenoidal hypophysectomy to remove the tumor.

1. Before surgery, what conditions might BJ’s pituitary adenoma precipitated?

2. After surgery, he has huge urinary outputs of 500 to 600 ml/hr. What is the most likely cause of his high urine output? What other clinical data would support this diagnosis?

3. BJ receives subcutaneous Desmopressin (DDAVP) to manage his high urine output. What is the rationale for this therapy? How can effectiveness be assessed?

4. It is expected that after his transsphenoidal hypophysectomy, all of BJ’s anterior pituitary hormones will be deficient (panhypopituitarism). What type of hormone replacement will be needed?

1) Recently, McDonald's re-introduced its Szechuan dipping sauce as an option at its restaurants located across the United States. Suppose that the U.S. government considers the Szechuan sauce market as a potential source of government revenue and that the government decides to levy an excise tax on Szechuan dipping sauce of $.80 per unit of sauce. The market clearing price before the excise tax is levied is $1.20 and the equilibrium quantity is 1500 units of Szechuan dipping sauce. After the excise tax is levied the consumer will pay $1.80 and the equilibrium quantity in the market will drop to 1200 units of Szechuan dipping sauce.

a. Given the above information, derive the equations for the supply curve and the demand curve in Szechuan source market.

b. Consider this market prior to the implementation of the excise tax. Calculate the values of Consumer Surplus (CS), Producer Surplus (PS) and Total Surplus (TS) when this market is initially at equilibrium.

c. Now, consider this market after the implementation of the excise tax. Calculate the value of Consumer Surplus with the excise tax (CSt), Producer Surplus with the excise tax (PSt), the tax revenue the government receives from implementing the tax (Tax Revenue), Total Surplus in this market after the excise tax is implemented (TSt) and the Deadweight Loss (DWL) due to the implementation of this excise tax. 2

d. Consider this market after the implementation of the excise tax. Calculate the Consumer Tax Incidence(CTI) and Producer Tax Incidence(PTI) of this excise tax. Which one is larger? If the demand curve became more elastic (eg: if the new demand curve was “flatter” but went through the initial equilibrium point before the excise tax was levied), would consumers pay a higher or lower share of the total taxes collected? What conclusion can you make about the relationship between elasticity and tax incidence?

Statement of Partnership Liquidation

After closing the accounts on July 1, prior to liquidating the partnership, the capital account balances of Gold, Porter, and Sims are $27,600, $39,300, and $17,400, respectively. Cash, noncash assets, and liabilities total $42,900, $72,600, and $31,200, respectively. Between July 1 and July 29, the noncash assets are sold for $58,200, the liabilities are paid, and the remaining cash is distributed to the partners. The partners share net income and loss in the ratio of 3:2:1.

Prepare a statement of partnership liquidation for the period July 1-29. Enter any subtractions (balance deficiencies, payments, cash distributions, divisions of loss, sale of assets) as negative numbers using a minus sign. If an amount is zero, enter in "0".

Distribution of Cash Upon Liquidation

Hewitt and Patel are partners, sharing gains and losses equally. They decide to terminate their partnership. Prior to realization, their capital balances are $24,000 and $16,000, respectively. After all noncash assets are sold and all liabilities are paid, there is a cash balance of $30,000.

a. What is the amount of a gain or loss on realization?

b. How should the gain or loss be divided between Hewitt and Patel?

c. How should the cash be divided between Hewitt and Patel? If an amount is zero, enter "0".
