A 140-mH inductor and a 4.80-Ω
resistor are connected with a switch to a 6.00-V battery as shown
in the figure above.
(a) After the switch is first thrown to a (connecting
the battery), what time interval elapses before the current reaches
220 mA?
ms
(b) What is the current in the inductor 10.0 s after the switch is
closed?
A
(c) Now the switch is quickly thrown from a to b.
What time interval elapses before the current in the inductor falls
to 160 mA?
ms

| A block sliding with velocity v>0 along a frictionless floor hits a spring at time t=0 (configuration 1). The spring compresses until the block comes to a momentary stop (configuration 2). (Figure 1) Finally, the spring expands, pushing the block back in the direction from which it came. In this problem you will be shown a series of plots related to the motion of the block and spring, and you will be asked to identify what the plots represent. In each plot, the point labeled "1" refers to configuration 1 (when the block first comes in contact with the spring). The point labeled "2" refers to configuration 2 (when the block comes to rest with the spring compressed). In the questions that follow, "force" refers to the xcomponent of the force that the spring exerts on the block and "position" and "velocity" refer to the xcomponents of the position and velocity of the block. For all graphs, treat the origin as (0,0); that is, the x axis represents y=0 and the y axis represents x=0.

Use these adaptations of Bowles, Foley and Hollidays section headings to organize your progress:
An Ideal (and Unreal) World of Complete Health Insurance Contracts
A benchmark: The patient-payer case
Risk subject to an enforceable contract
The Real World of Incomplete Health Insurance Contracts
The insurer’s expected profit maximization
Why Wealth Matters: Equity and ??? (describe this)
A monopolistic insurer and a wealthy patient-consumer who ??? (describe this)
Competitive markets, wealth constraints and insurance market exclusion
Competitive insuring market and wealthy ???-investing insure
Wealth and the size and quality of healthcare services
Policy Application: Why subsidizing health insurance to the poor may enhance efficiency
What would be observable evidence of health insurance market exclusion if such a subsidy plan was enacted?

A 325 V sinusoidal voltage generator at 50 Hz supplies a load
modelled by a
35 resistance in series with a 95.5 mH inductor. The loss of the
transmission line between
the generator and the load is modelled by a series resistance of 5
. Calculate the average,
reactive and apparent power a) consumed by the generator, b)
consumed by the load.
Determine the power factor at which the load is operating.
Please outline the method clearly.
Answers should be: 633.75 var of reactive power. 845 W of average power

Swain v. Alabama (1965) a lawsuit that argued that there was discrimination against African-Americans in grand jury selection. This case used a statistical argument based on the data that 181 African-Americans out of a random sample of 1075 were called to appear for possible duty. Using the information that Census data show that 24% of those eligible for jury service were African-America conduct the hypothesis test to test the claim of discrimination. Use a significance level of 0.025.

A single product (A) moves in sequence through 3 operations: V, W, and X. The processing time at each operation (in minutes per unit) is 10, 20 and 10 respectively. If the process batch size and the transfer batch size are both 100, what is the total amount of time required to process the batch? If the transfer batch size is reduced to 50, now how much total time will be required to complete the batch (do not worry about inventory levels)?
