Case: Disability Insurance Claims Handling at InsureIT Identify at least 3 issues in the above process. Analyze these issues by means of an issue register, root cause analysis (why-why diagram or Fishbone) and/or Pareto analysis. If you need to make assumptions to fill in the issue register, please write them down in an "Assumptions" column. If you find that there are more than three issues, you can focus on the three issues that have the highest impact.

A simple pendulum is constructed by attaching a 0.540 kg ball to a 0.830 m long cord of negligible mass. If air resistance is negligible and the pendulum is swinging such that its maximum angular displacement is 30.0° determine the following.
(a) speed of the ball when it passes through its lowest
position
m/s
(b) tension in the string when the ball is at its highest
position
N
(c) tension in the string when the ball is at its lowest
position

Currently the Eurozone countries differ quite significantly in terms of their unemployment rates (according to the most recent Eurostat data the highest unemployment rates in early 2017 were observed in Greece 23.5% and Spain 18.0%, while the lowest ones – in Malta – 4.1% and Germany - 3.9%). What are your suggestions for the Eurozone countries to address this situation from the macroeconomic policy perspective? What specific policies would you propose to use – fiscal, monetary, etc.?

A 73.5_kg skier descends along a linear slope that has a height of 13.0_m, and the base of the hill is 53.3_m long. The kinetic friction constant is 0.042. Calculate the skier's, a) potential energy at the highest point, b) acceleration without friction c) acceleration with friction d) velocity at the end of the slope with friction considered, and e) Kinetic energy at the end of the ramp assuming kinetic friction, f) the length along the hypotenuses r and, g) the angle θ.

In some states, including Alabama, a real estate broker is allowed to represent both the buyer and the seller in a real estate transaction. This is known as "dual agency." Do you see any potential problems with this arrangement given what you have learned about the duties of an agent to the principal? How can a broker simultaneously get the highest offer for a seller and the lowest price for a buyer? Your response should be between 150 and 300 words.

Which of the following statements about perfect price discrimination is false?
A condition for perfect price discrimination is that it must be costlier to service some customers than others. | ||
There is no consumer surplus if a firm engages in perfect price discrimination. | ||
For the price-discriminating firm, its marginal revenue curve coincides with its demand curve. | ||
Perfect price discrimination occurs when the seller charges the highest price each consumer would be willing to pay for the product. |

Find a materials property plot of elastic modulus and density.
Identify a composite, a polymer, and a metal with densities less than 3000 kg/m3 (Mg = 106 g) and the highest possible elastic modulus. Provide an example of an engineering design that might require this combination of material properties and explain why those properties would be important. What design advantages could a polymer offer over a metal even though the polymer has a lower stiffness?

Explain these results. Why did glucose result in the highest rate? Why did sucrose result in a lower rate than fructose, and starch even lower? Recall that sucrose is a disaccharide composed of glucose and fructose, and that starch is a polysaccharide composed of many glucose molecules.

Suppose that when you’re 12 ft away from the source of a sound, it’s intensity is 3 X 10^-6 W/m^2, If you move so that you are now 6ft away from the source of the sound, what is the intensity? If you move again so that now you’re 24 ft away from the source of the sound, what is the intensity? At what point do you perceive the sound as having the highest amplitude?
