Three point charges are located at the corners of an equilateral triangle as in the figure below. Find the magnitude and direction of the net electric force on the 1.10 µC charge. (Let A = 1.10 µC, B = 6.80 µC, and C = −4.16 µC.) Three charged particles lie in the x y-coordinate plane at the vertices of an equilateral triangle with side length 0.500 m. Positive charge A is at the origin. Positive charge B is in the first quadrant, along a line 60.0° counterclockwise from the positive x-axis. Negative charge C is at (0.500, 0). magnitude N direction ° below the +x-axis

Part I – Our behaviors are influenced by society because we are parts of the society in which we live. For most of us, we are born, we grow up, and live our lives in a society. The norms and beliefs that are prevalent in society are parts of culture.
Please educate us about the role of “independence” and “interdependence” in your society and/or cultural psychology.
a) How does your society view independence and interdependence?
b) What is the relationship of independence to interdependence (and vice versa)?
If you’re looking for definitions in the textbook, remember that the textbook is rooted in western psychology originating from western European beliefs and traditions. Unless your family and society are rooted in western European traditions, for this assignment, please speak of your society’s psychology and/or cultural philosophy. Let’s learn from each other’s psychologies!
Part II - Describe an experience or encounter you have had with the stigma attached to mental disorders* or unusual behavior. Then explain how the situation was addressed. Please explain also how you acted within that situation and how your actions are related to social influence. If you were not satisfied with how things happened, explain how you would address that situation in the future.
*Please note that you are not being asked to diagnose someone; only registered professionals have the credentials to do that. Thus, if the situation you are describing involves a condition that has been diagnosed by a mental health professional then you can mention that the condition was “diagnosed”. Otherwise, if you are relating a story about someone who behaved in an ‘unusual’ manner, then simply state that the behavior seemed abnormal. The point of this discussion is about the stigma and not necessarily about whether a diagnosis was conducted. An official diagnosis, or lack thereof, is important only to provide context to the condition and to any related effects.

Vandalay Industries is considering the purchase of a new machine for the production of latex. Machine A costs $2,080,000 and will last for 4 years. Variable costs are 35 percent of sales, and fixed costs are $142,000 per year. Machine B costs $4,780,000 and will last for 6 years. Variable costs for this machine are 28 percent of sales and fixed costs are $88,000 per year. The sales for each machine will be $9.56 million per year. The required return is 10 percent and the tax rate is 35 percent. Both machines will be depreciated on a straight-line basis. |

A social psychologist is designing a study to see whether people who see a particular film will be more likely to see violence as a solution to a problem. The psychologist plans to use a scale that assesses this construct, the Problem-Violence Scale, which has a population mean of 85, a standard deviation of 10, and is normally distributed. The psychologist takes a sample of 20 people, randomly and shows them the film prior to having them solve problems. On the Problem-Violence Scale mentioned, this sample scores a mean of 88. The research question is, does the film cause an increase in the use of violence to solve a problem? Use a one-tailed test with a significance level of .05 to conduct the steps of hypothesis testing. What is the Research & Null hypothesis? Determine the characteristics of the comparison distribution to compare to sample distribution:

Case Study:
Numerous information systems are available within SAP ERP to support most of the processes that we will discuss in this book. Information systems (IS) can be divided into three broad categories: logistics information systems (LIS), financial information systems (FIS), and human resources information systems (HRIS). Logistics information systems support all of the logistics processes. Recall that logistical processes are concerned with acquiring, storing, creating, and distributing materials. The components of LIS include purchasing IS, sales IS, inventory control IS (IWM processes), quality management IS, plant maintenance IS, and shop floor IS (production processes). The financial information system supports reporting related to the general ledger (e.g., balance sheet, income statement, statement of cash flows), accounts receivable, and accounts payable. The HRIS is used to retrieve information about different HR components such as personnel, positions, and jobs.
Recall that information systems are part of the OLAP component of SAP ERP, and they utilize information structures to provide analytic capabilities. There are two types of information structures—standard and user-defined. Standard information structures are predefined in the SAP ERP system, and they collect the data needed to generate the most commonly used reports. SAP ERP also enables users to define their own structures, known as user defined information structures, to meet specific reporting requirements.
Finally, information structures enable users to conduct two types of analysis— standard and flexible. Standard analysis provides predefined analytics for data in standard information structures. This type of analysis is sufficient for most analytic requirements. When standard analysis is insufficient, users can conduct flexible analysis to customize the reporting. In contrast to standard analysis, flexible analysis allows users to define the content and format of the analysis. Specifically, it enables users to combine available characteristics and key figures as needed and to create new key figures using user-specified formulas. It also provides users with several layout options.
To summarize, the OLTP component of SAP ERP offers reporting in the form of work lists and online lists that are based on detailed transaction data.
In contrast, the OLAP component offers reporting via information systems, based on aggregated data in information structures. These capabilities are limited to data within the SAP ERP system. Today, however, companies need even more powerful reporting capabilities that combine data from multiple sources. This is the domain of business intelligence.
Q1. As an information systems project manager, on what bases would you select the modules and the functionalities of the enterprise systems to fit with your business needs and requirements?
Q2. Analyze the capabilities and the type of reporting you are seeking for your project and illustrate the right approach in selecting the suitable IS vendor for the project.
