Use marginal analysis (the comparison of additional/marginal benefit with additional/marginal cost) to create some examples of your own. Good examples of diminishing returns can be observed from nearly all episodes of the reality TV show "Man v. Food" with Adam Richman or Casey Webb . Find one on the web to use in your essay

1. We have discussed a number of major software development processes (eg Waterfall V-Shape, Spiral, RUP, and Agile) in class. They all have various pros and cons. What are the commons key stages of activities among all these processes? Describe each of these stages with example activities.

Start with a diagram and explain each stage accordingly

The ammonia molecule NH₃ has a permanent electric dipole moment equal to 1.47 D, where 1 D = 1 debye unit = 3.34 × 10^-30 C-m. Calculate the electric potential in volts due to an ammonia molecule at a point 49.6 nm away along the axis of the dipole. (Set V = 0 at infinity.)

An oscillator consists of a block attached to a spring (k = 490 N/m). At some time t, the position (measured from the system's equilibrium location), velocity, and acceleration of the block are x = 0.107 m, v = -16.6 m/s, and a = -103 m/s2. Calculate (a) the frequency of oscillation, (b) the mass of the block, and (c) the amplitude of the motion.

A load supplied by a 3-wire d.c. distribution system takes a current of 600 A on the +ve side and 480 A on the −ve side. The resistance of the outer conductor is 0·015 Ω and that of the middle wire is 0·03 Ω. Determine the voltage at the load end between each outer and middle wire. Supply voltage is 500/250 V

An air-filled parallel-plate capacitor has plates of area 2.40 cm^2 separated by 3.00 mm. The capacitor is connected to a(n) 23.0 V battery.

(a) Find the value of its capacitance.

(b) What is the charge on the capacitor?

pC

(c) What is the magnitude of the uniform electric field between the plates?

N/C

A) Given an electric field:

Ei = ˆx100e^{−γ z} V/m                       Find the associated magnetic field. ( Note: Ei is vector, and ˆx = x hat)

B) if this field is normally incident on a uniform lossy medium with Er = 3.0, tan δ = 0.1, and μ = μ0

Initially propagating in air, find both the reflection and transmission coefficients.

Two resistors have resistances R(smaller) and R(larger), where R(smaller) < R(larger). When the resistors are connected in series to a 12.0-V battery, the current from the battery is 1.48 A. When the resistors are connected in parallel to the battery, the total current from the battery is 10.9 A. Determine the two resistances. R(smaller)= R(larger)=

Consider a very small particle of mass, m, dropped in a fluid. The particle experiences a drag force, FD. The constant that relates the drag force to the velocity V is K. Determine the distance covered as the partcile accelerate from rest to 50 percent of its terminal velocity, Vt, in terms of K, m, and acceleration due to gravity, g.

Taking these two documents together -- ( From Woodrow Wilson, War Message to Congress in 1917 and From Eugene v. Debs, Speech to the Jury before Sentencing under the Espionage Act (1918) in what contrasting ways are patriotism defined during The Great War? What constitutes a patriotic (or unpatriotic) act according to the Espionage Act, and according to Debs?
