(a) Calculate the speed of an electron that is in the n = 1 orbit of a hydrogen atom, and give your answer v as a fraction of the speed of light in empty space c, for example, v = 0.5 if the answer were v = c/2 = 1.50 × 108 m/s. (It isn’t.)

(b) How many nanometers would be the wavelength of the photon emitted when the electron in a hydrogen atom jumps from the n = 3 orbit to the n = 2 orbit? This is the Hα line, and its light is scarlet, the color of fresh human blood.

(c) How many nanometers would be the wavelength of the photon emitted when the electron in a hydrogen atom jumps from the n = 2 orbit to the n = 1 orbit?

(d) How many nanometers would be the wavelength of a photon that would have the minimum amount of energy needed to ionize any hydrogen atom? (Hint: Electromagnetic radiation with this wavelength or shorter is called extreme ultraviolet radiation.

(e) How many electron-volts (eV) would the electron in part (7)(d) need to have?

1. What are the principal cultural and behavioural differences that international financial managers need to take account of, in terms of both how these differences impact the conduct of business and how managers should deal with them?

2. Examine the view that it is the lack of understanding of the different ways exchange rate changes impact a business and of how the different forms of currency exposure are interrelated that prevent its effective management and then review which are the most appropriate tools and techniques to manage the different exposures that businesses face.

3. Explain why both effective international pricing and working capital management are crucial. What does the international manager need to do both alone and in conjunction with managers of other business functions, such as marketing, human resources, and operations, to effectively manage these areas?

4. In what ways is appraisal of investments with an international element more difficult for the financial manager to deal with than domestic investments with no international implications? How is such an appraisal complicated by it being a joint venture or one in which there is a minority interest?

1. Do you think that if people know about the dark trade and how it works that they would still purchase the counterfeit items?

2.Can you tell me something why you disagree this paragraph and ask one question what she thinks of this disagreement?

Here is the paragraph: Shelley makes a point that globalization plays a great role in human trafficking, counterfeit goods, and counterfeiting in general which we could see in the documentary. I disagree in the sense that media and internet help spread crime. Growing up in the twentieth century, it is fair to say that technology has only increased and improved. I am not arguing that individuals do not use the Internet for criminal activity such as posting child pornography anonymously and money laundering, but I think with technology increasing, what is able to happen in the future? I think that yes criminals can get away with it anonymously now but for how much longer? I hope and think that in the future technology will be able to stop all cyber-crimes from happening.

Janet, age 72, is being cared for at home by her daughter. Janet was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer 1 year ago. After several months of attempted curative treatment, the cancer has spread to her liver, lungs, and spine.Janet is in severe pain and has requested no further treatment for the cancer but treatment to “keep me comfortable” at home. Janet’s daughter is retired and is able to care for her mother 24 hours a day. She states that she is available “as long as it takes” and just wants her mother to be comfortable. Janet requests a “do not resuscitate” order and comfort measures. Janet is admitted to hospice care. (Learning Objectives2,3,10)

1. What are the four basic human needs that are the focus of hospice care and which are the current needs for Janet?

2. There are specific admission requirements for hospice admissions. What are they and which of those does Janet meet?

3. What are some possible medications that the nurse may expect to see ordered for Janet while she is in the care of hospice?

Course Culminating Activity Task 20-01 - Treatable Diseases and Disorders
Select a treatable disease or disorder (human or other mammal) and complete the following tasks to explore and understand the disease.

  1. Describe the impact of this disease/disorder on the body systems and how the respiratory system, digestive system and circulatory system work together.
  2. For the disease/disorder, create an annotated diagram that identifies a possible treatment and explains the steps needed to apply the treatment. (Look at this example of an annotated diagram for ligation and stripping of a varicose vein.)

3- Create a chart for the disease you have selected that shows the impact on: 1-family 2- employment 3- the individual 4-the economy 5-the media 6- health care system

4- Identify and describe a career that may be associated with the diagnosis or treatment of the disease/disorder. Provide the following information in your description:

  • How is the career related to the disease/disorder?
  • Where in the medical system is this career required?
  • What is the job description for this career?
  • What post-secondary education is required to pursue this career?

Please write about these questions like a small paragraph answering he questions below:

Do you think that microbes can have cooperative traits? Why or why not?

Think about the RNA viruses that evolve as if they were playing the prisoner's dilemma game. What if you did not know about the prisoner's dilemma and you were given the data on fitness at different starting frequencies in the paper presented. How would you interpret those results? Is it useful to think about the data by thinking about the prisoner's dilemma? If this was a virus infecting a human, would you hope that the viruses defect or cooperate? Why? What might you do to try to encourage defection?What is the difference between group and individual selection? Do you think natural selection operates at the level of a group? Why? Why do some scientists think that is problematic? What is kin selection, and how is it expected to affect the persistence of cooperative traits?

How does spatial structure affect the stability of cooperation?

a) What is an hypothesis? [2 Marks]
b) Suppose that shopping times for customers at Cheers Hypermarket are normally
distributed with a known population standard deviation of 20 minutes. Suppose
that a random sample of 64 shoppers had a mean time of 75 minutes. Construct a
95% confidence interval for the population mean time. [6 Marks]
c) Petronellah, a Human Resource Manager at a large corporation, wanted to
estimate a proportion of the corporation’s employees who favor a modified bonus
plan. From a random sample of 344 employees, it was found that 261 were in favor
of this particular plan. Find a 90% confidence interval estimate of the true
population proportion that favors this modified bonus plan. [6 Marks]
d) A politician claims that more than 50% of females vote in presidential elections. A
random sample of 500 female registered voters from a particular ward showed that
275 of them voted in the last presidential election. Test the politician’s claim at 5%

level of significance. [6 Marks]

Some environmentalists claim that the ways we raise and collect animals and fish for food are fundamentally unethical. They point to the suffering of animals within the factory farming industry, the pollution caused by untreated animal waste, the use of hormones and antibiotics, the decimation of fish populations, and the fact that current farming practices are ultimately unsustainable in terms of their environmental impact. Making the changes that these environmentalists claim are necessary, however, would likely be devastating to the agricultural and fishing industries, to the chemical and biochemical companies that support them, and to the way of life of millions of people. These changes might also result in increased food prices and in less food being available to the ever-increasing human population. How do you think we should balance the moral claims on this issue? Should the concerns of environmentalists and animal rights activists impinge on your desire to eat however you so choose? Does the protection of jobs and communities trump environmental concerns? Why or why not? Read and respond to two classmates' posts. Give source for your answer
