Question 2

Consider the following list and indicate which of these you would consider as process redesign initiatives. Motivate your answer and, if applicable, provide the links to the elements discussed.

The polling organization Ipsos conducted telephone surveys in March of 2004, 2005 and 2006. In each year, 1001 people age 18 or older were asked about whether they planned to use a credit card to pay federal income taxes that year. The data are given in the accompanying table. Is there evidence that the proportion falling in the three credit card response categories is not the same for all three years? Test the relevant hypotheses using a .05 significance level. (Use 2 decimal places.)

. You read in the newspaper that rocks from Mars have been found on Earth. Your friend says that

the rocks were shot off Mars by the large volcanoes there. You are skeptical so you decide to

calculate the magnitude of the velocity that volcanoes eject rocks from geological evidence. You

know the gravitational acceleration of objects falling near the surface of Mars is only 40% that on

the Earth. You can look up the height of Martian volcanoes and determine the distance rocks from

a volcano hit the ground from pictures of the Martian surface. If you assume the rocks farthest

from a volcano were ejected at an angle of 45 degrees, what is the magnitude of the rock's

velocity as a function of its distance from the volcano and the height of the volcano for the rock

furthest from the volcano?

During launches, rockets often discard unneeded parts. A certain rocket starts from rest on the launch pad and accelerates upward at a steady 3.05 m/s^2 . When it is 260 m above the launch pad, it discards a used fuel canister by simply disconnecting it. Once it is disconnected, the only force acting on the canister is gravity (air resistance can be ignored).

A.   How high is the rocket when the canister hits the launch pad, assuming that the rocket does not change its acceleration?

B. What total distance did the canister travel between its release and its crash onto the launch pad? This includes the distance the canister travels while going up plus the distance it travels while falling back to the ground.

**** Please show work. Thanks!

Hi! I need it in android studio and in java

Design a game app “BouncingBall ” in which the user’s goal is to prevent a bouncing ball from falling off the bottom of the screen. When the user presses the start button, a ball bounces off the top, left and right sides (the “walls”) of the screen. A horizontal bar on the bottom of the screen serves as a paddle to prevent the ball from hitting the bottom of the screen. The ball can bounce off the paddle, but not the bottom of the screen. Allow the user to drag the paddle left and right. If the ball hits the paddle, it bounces up, and the game continues. If the ball hits the bottom, the game ends. Decrease the paddle’s width every 25 seconds and increase the speed of the ball to make the game more challenging. (BONUS 10 points: Consider adding obstacles at the random location).

1) Suppose that Labor Supply is linear with exactly 0M people willing to work at a wage of $0 and 5M more people willing to work for each $1 increase in the wage. Labor Demand was such that the equilibrium wage rate was $20. Suppose that a negative shock hits labor demand so that the new ​[inverse] Labor Demand Curve has a vertical intercept at 110M and slope of -0.5. If downward wage rigidity prevents the wage from falling below $20, then how many people will be unemployed?

2) Consider the scenario in Question 1. Suppose that the shock to labor demand affected only the labor demand curve's intercept and not its slope. What must have been the pre-shock intercept for labor demand in order for $20 to be the equilibrium wage?

11. Sources of monopoly power

A monopoly, unlike a perfectly competitive firm, has some market power. Thus, it can raise its price, within limits, without quantity demanded falling to zero. The main way monopolies retain their market power is through barriers to entry, which prevent other companies from entering monopolized markets and competing for customers.

Consider the market for tanzanite. The mines for this blue-purple gemstone, found only in Tanzania, are owned by the local government. Given that no one is allowed into the mines without government permission, the market structure for tanzanite highly resembles that of a monopoly.

Which of the following best explains the barriers to entry that exist in this scenario?

a) Legal barriers

b) Increasing returns to scale

c) Control over an important input

Sand from a stationary hopper falls on a moving conveyor belt at the rate of 4.60 kg/s as in fig. P9.72. The conveyor belt is supported be frictionless rollers and moves at a constant speed of v = 0.820 m/s under the action of a consant horizontal external force Fext supplied by the motor that drives the belt.

(a) Find the sand's rate of change of momentum in the hortizontal direction. N

(B) Find the force of friction exerted by the belt on the sand. N

(c) find the external force Fext. N

(d) Find the work done by Fext in 1 second. J

(e) Find the kinetic energy acquired by the falling sand each second due to the change in its hortizontal motion. J

(f) Why are the answers to parts (d) and (e) different?
