• Since the end of the Great Recession, interest rates have been at historic lows—in some cases, close to zero. How is expansionary monetary policy, or more specifically a open market purchase, supposed to work? How do near-zero interest rates limit the ability of expansionary monetary policy to work?
• How has the Fed responded to this quandary? That is, what policies has the Fed conducted?
• In your opinion, how effective has the Fed’s policy been as a response to the Great Recession? What evidence can you suggest to support your position?

1. Discuss one of the Barriers within the profession as explained by Schafer. What is your assessment of that barrier?
2. Several leadership behaviors are discussed by Yukl. Select one of those behaviors that you feel is the most important, or near the top of the list. Discuss that behavior and explain your rationale for selecting it.
3. In the reading by Malos eight leadership theories are presented. Select one theory that you believe has little validity or legitimacy. Briefly discuss that theory and then explain why you made your selection.

A thin-walled hollow cylinder with mass m₁ and radius R₁ rolls without slipping on the inner wall of a larger thin-walled hollow cylinder with mass m₂ and radius R₂ >> R₁. Both cylinders' axes are aligned and horizontal, and some magical mechanism ensures this perfect friction contact between them. Unfortunately for you, the larger cylinder rolls without slipping on a horizontal surface. Describe the motion including small oscillation frequencies near any equilibria if the systems is released from rest with the inner cylinder at some angle α₀.

Suppose you perform the following multiple regression: Y = B0 + B1X1 + B2X2 + B3X3. You find that X1 and X3 have a near perfect correlation. How would you conclude on the utility of your regression result? This is a problem of multicollinearity which renders the entire regression invalid. This is a problem of multicollinearity which nevertheless does not invalidate the utility of the model as a whole This is NOT a regression problem and inferences made using the model and the respective coefficients remain valid. This is a problem of multicollinearity. However inferences made concerning the individual contribution of the model coefficients remain valid

We are looking at the market for gasoline in the United States, this week. Begin with the market in equilibrium. A report is released that we should expect the price of gasoline to rise in the near future, with up to a 50-cent increase sometime next week. Assume that we all have access to this information. Graph the changes and answer the following questions:

How do the unhappy participants react?

Question options:

• Construct a capacitor by filling a paper cup with water. What is the analog of voltage in this case, and what is the capacitance?
• Poke a small hole on the side of the paper cup near the bottom and let the water drain. How is this similar to an RC circuit?
• Decrease the R by making the hole slightly larger in diameter and re-run the demonstration. How is the rate of water flow consistent with the new RC value?
• Time how long it takes the cup to drain in each case and estimate the drainage rate (ounces or milliliters per second), make note of it, and compare the two.

1. Investigate contemporary institutional slavery or human trafficking around the globe, using a specific example. What societal dynamics do these situations have in common with slavery in the United States?

2. Do you believe that slavery is fundamentally wrong? Explain yes or no. Many commodities would be considerably more expensive without the people who work for near to nothing around the world. Would you be willing to pay higher prices if it meant an end to such poor wages and conditions for labor? What about how this affects prices around the world, such as in developing countries?

What practical application can we expect from particle physics a century or two from now? What use can we make of quark-gluon plasmas or strange quarks? How can we harness W- and Z-bosons or the Higgs boson? Nuclear physics has given us nuclear plants and the promise of fusion power in the near future. What about particle physics? If we extend our timeframe, what promise does string theory give us? Can we make use of black holes?

A soccer player kicks a lock horizontally of a 46 m high cliff into a pool of water. If the player hears the sound of the splash 3.26 s later, (a)what was the initial speed given to the rock in m/s?assume a speed of sound in air is 343 m/s. (b)What if the temperature near the cliff suddenly falls to 0ﾟ C reducing the speed of sound of 331 m/s, what would the initial speed of the rock have to be in m/s for the soccer player to hear the sound of the splash 3.26 s after kicking the rock?
