1. Define a Student class , Student class has the follow data fields added---- major: String gpa: double studentID: String // unique id (Find a solution to manage the generation of unique “studentID”) Methods: double getGPA(); void setGPA(); getMajor(String major) void changeMajor(); 2 String toString(); // of major and GPA ,boolean equals(Object o); // 2 students are equal if them have same // personal information plus same student ID String getNextUniqueID(); // this method should be declared as static.

2.  Redesign Student class : (a) Remove “gpa” data field and related methods (b) Add data field: courses:ArrayList (c) Add the following methods: • boolean addCourse(MyCourse course); // add a course to courses list • boolean removeCourse(Course course); // remove a course from the courses list // based on the course information (courseID) in Course object • boolean removeCourse(int courseID); // search and remove a course from the list // based on the unique courseID • ArrayList getCourseList(); • String getCourseGrade(int courseID); // search for a course by courseID from // “courses” list; if not exist, return “no taken”; otherwise, return a grade // by mapping status to “W”(withdraw), “IP” (in progress), or “A” through // “F” (mapping score to these grades) • double getAverageGPA(); // select courses which have taken from “courses”; // map grade “A” through “F” to 4.0 through 0.0; then calculate // average GPA • toString(), equals()

1.Think about development, plasticity, and regeneration. For example, plasticity in neuronal systems is clearly evident in the developmental processes that occur and are required to have normal function as an adult. However, is the plasticity during development identical to the plasticity that is seen in adult neural systems after training or learning of specific skills? Also, is there any information that might be used from our understanding of what is happening during development that might provide

In 2009, Nobel-prize winning economist Paul Krugman wrote, “The paradox of thrift is one of those Keynesian insights that largely dropped out of economic discourse. Now it’s back as a concept.”
Either: Use the following data to explain the paradox of thrift:
Y = C ​​+ Ig ​+ G ​+ Xn
Y = 50 + .9Y ​+ 50 ​+ 50 ​+ 50
What is the savings function where S = -a + (1-b)Y?
Find equilibrium GDP (solve for Y)?
Use the answer to determine the level of S
Now suppose Savings increases by $10 so Consumption decreases by $10
Find the new equilibrium GDP and calculate the savings function and level of Savings.
Use your answer to explain the paradox of thrift.
Or: Describe in words and in a graph why the paradox of thrift is truly a paradox.

GOAL Apply the more general definition of torque. PROBLEM (a) A man applies a force of F = 3.00 102 N at an angle of 60.0° to the door of Figure (a), 2.00 m from the hinges. Find the torque on the door, choosing the position of the hinges as the axis of rotation. (b) Suppose a wedge is placed 1.50 m from the hinges on the other side of the door. What minimum force must the wedge exert so that the force applied in part (a) won't open the door? STRATEGY Part (a) can be solved by substitution into the general torque equation. In part (b) the hinges, the wedge, and the applied force all exert torques on the door. The door doesn't open, so the sum of these torques must be zero, a condition that can be used to find the wedge force. SOLUTION (A) Compute the torque due to the applied force exerted at 60.0°. Substitute into the general torque equation. τF = rFsin θ = (2.00 m)(3.00 ✕ 102 N) sin 60.0° = (2.00 m)(2.60 ✕ 102 N) = 5.20 102 N · m (B) Calculate the force exerted by the wedge on the other side of the door. Set the sum of the torques equal to zero. τhinge + τwedge + τF = 0 The hinge force provides no torque because it acts at the axis (r = 0). The wedge force acts at an angle of −90.0°, opposite the upward 260 N component. 0 + Fwedge(1.50 m) sin (−90.0°) + 5.20 ✕ 102 N · m = 0 Fwedge = 347 N LEARN MORE REMARKS Notice that the angle from the position vector to the wedge force is −90°. This is because, starting at the position vector, it's necessary to go 90° clockwise (the negative angular direction) to get to the force vector. Measuring the angle in this way automatically supplies the correct sign for the torque term and is consistent with the right-hand rule. Alternately, the magnitude of the torque can be found and the correct sign chosen based on physical intuition. Figure (b) illustrates the fact that the component of the force perpendicular to the lever arm causes the torque. QUESTION To make the wedge more effective in keeping the door closed, should it be placed closer to the hinge or to the doorknob? closer to the hinge closer to the doorknob PRACTICE IT Use the worked example above to help you solve this problem. (a) A man applies a force of F = 3.00 102 N at an angle of 60.0° to a door, x = 2.10 m from the hinges. Find the torque on the door, choosing the position of the hinges as the axis of rotation. N · m (b) Suppose a wedge is placed 1.50 m from the hinges on the other side of the door. What minimum force must the wedge exert so that the force applied in part (a) won't open the door? N EXERCISE HINTS: GETTING STARTED | I'M STUCK!
