An amateur astronomer is researching statistical properties of known stars using a variety of databases. They collect the color index, or B−V index, and distance (in light years) from Earth for 30 stars. The color index of a star is the difference in the light absorption measured from the star using two different light filters (a B and a V filter). This then allows the scientist to know the star's temperature and a negative value means a hot blue star. A light year is the distance light can travel in 1 year, which is approximately 5.9 trillion miles. The data is provided below. Use Excel to calculate the correlation coefficient r between the two data sets, rounding to two decimal places.

Two carts sit on a horizontal, frictionless track; the spring between them is compressed. The small cart has mass m, and the mass of the larger cart is M = 5.29m. NOTE: Every velocity needs magnitude and direction (given by the sign).

a) Suppose the carts are initially at rest, and after the "explosion" the smaller cart is moving at velocity v = +4.88 m/s. - Find the velocity of the larger cart. V =

Assume now that the mass of the smaller cart is m = 8.91 kg. Assuming there is no loss of energy: find the energy stored in the spring before the explosion. Wk =

If the spring has spring constant k = 935 N/m: find x, the distance the spring was compressed before the "explosion".

b) Suppose the carts are initially moving together, with the spring compressed between them, at constant velocity vo = +9.39 m/s. After the "explosion", the smaller cart is moving at velocity v = +4.88 m/s. Find the velocity of the larger cart.

c) Suppose now that the small cart (mass m) is initially moving at velocity vo = +3.3 m/s. At what velocity would the large cart (mass 5.29m) have to be moving so, when they collide and stick together, they remain at rest?

If you can show the work/ provide explanation I would greatly appreciate it :) Thanks

Ironman steps from the top of a tall building. He falls freely from rest to the ground a distance of h. He falls a distance of h/ 4 in the last interval of time of 1.0 s of his fall.

Hint: First, compute the velocity when Ironman reaches the height equal to the distance fallen. This requires that you do the following: define origin as the bottom of the building. Then use x-x0 = -v0*(t-t0)-(1/2)g(t-t0)^2 where x=0 and x0= (distance fallen) and t-t0 is the time interval given. In this formulation, you are going to get magnitude of v0 since you already inserted the sign. You then insert v0 that you just calculated into the kinematic equation that involves v, g, and displacement (v^2-v0^2 = 2g(height-(distance fallen)), but now v (which is the final velocity is v0 from above) and v0 in this case is the velocity that the Ironman has when he begins to fall, which is 0. This gives a quadratic equation for height h, and you will need to use the binomial equation to solve for h. Choose the larger of the two solutions.

Part A

What is the height h of the building?

Shantou Real Lingerie Manufacturing Company (Shan- tou) is incorporated in China. Shantou manufactures and exports garments to the United States. Native Group International, Inc. (Native), is a corporation organized under the laws of New York engaged in the business of selling intimate wear to the wholesale and retail market. Between May and November 2013, Native placed dozens of orders with Shantou for lingerie. Following each order, Shantou issued a sales confirmation to Native, which referenced the cost, quantity, and type of goods ordered. These confirmations were signed by a representative of Native. Thereafter, Shantou manufactured the goods in accordance with the requested specifications. Between October 2013 and February 2014, Shantou delivered the goods specified in the confirmations to Native through five separate shipments. Shantou also included in each of the five shipments an invoice, indicating the total balance due, as well as the price, quantity, and type of products shipped. Native accepted each shipment, retained the goods delivered, and never claimed a set-off or credit. The total amount invoiced for the five shipments was $437,562.20. Native made payments totaling $165,522.80, leaving an unpaid balance of $272,040.40. The commu- nications between Shantou and Native were silent with respect to the governing law. Native claimed that there was no written contract between the parties when Shan- tou subsequently filed a lawsuit against Native for the unpaid balance. What law should govern the terms of the parties’ arrangement? Is a written agreement necessary in this case? What are the terms of the parties’ agreement if any?
