As part of a discussion of a proposed major restructuring, you point out that major change attempts work best when there is a “burning platform" (i.e. a great sense of urgency to change). Your boss disagrees, saying, “That’s motivating with fear. We need to change before the platform is on fire.” Take a position for or against your boss’s argument.

When naming organic compounds with IUPAC rules, when is "iso" used?? The one I was naming turned out to be 4-isopropyloctane. WHY???

1.Explain in a short paragraph what a heat engine is and what it does. Make sure your explanation includes: (a) what is the purpose of a heat engine, (b) what does a heat engine need to achieve that purpose, and (c) what limits how well a heat engine can achieve that purpose ("efficiency")?

2.The idea that evaporation is a cooling process is a familiar and intuitive one. What sounds counter-intuitive at first is this claim: "Boiling is a cooling process" (but hopefully the first two videos above have convinced you of the veracity of this claim). Explain how boiling is a cooling process. Make sure your explanation refers to latent heat (or "latent heat of vaporization", to be specific). What is the key difference between evaporation and boiling?

Par​ Inc., will sell whatever quantities it produces of these two products.

a) Find the mix of standard and deluxe golf bags to produce per week that maximizes weekly profit from these activities.

b) What is the value of the profit?

Question: Not sure how to proceed with question below:

In this task, task 2(a) will be extended so that an array of five Person objects are created. Write the comma
separated values format of each object in separate lines in a file named persons.txt. Make use of the
toString() method of Person to obtain comma separated values.
Create a hyperlink pointing to the file persons.txt and include it on the task page. When the user clicks
on the link, the browser can then download it.

This is question 2a below: not need to be answered

Task 2: Chapter 14: page name=task2.php 40 marks
This task consists of two different subtasks.
(a) [15 marks]
Code a class named Person, which has three data properties to store the name, a telephone number and
an e‐mail address of a person.
The class must have a constructor to initialise all three data properties, three set methods and three get
methods to change and access the data properties of the class.
The class must also have a toString() method with an argument named $csv initialised to a default
boolean value true. By default, this function must return the value of data properties in comma separated
values (refer to Chapter 23, Section named ‘How to read and write CSV data’). On the other hand, if the
method is called with boolean value false, it returns a string representation of the data properties in a
different format (for example, see showAll() method in Section ‘How to loop through an object’s
properties’ in Chapter 14).
Create an object of the class Person, invoke all six set and get methods, and invoke toString() with
both boolean values. Display the results returned by toString()for both method calls.

Stress is a constant aspect of the modern work environment. There are various methods for dealing with stressful situations but consider this question: who is responsible for dealing with employee stress, is it the employee or the organization? In your initial discussion post, answer the question of responsibility and provide an argument that supports your answer. In addition, describe two methods for an individual to deal with their own stress and two ways an organization to lower the stress of their employees. Your answer should be more than 200 words

Consider a rocket that burns steadily. The higher pressure in the combustion chamber, the faster the propellant burns. Why is this? The relationship is such that the higher the pressure, the closer the gaseous flame is to the surface and the more effectively it can transfer heat back to the surface thereby gasifying the propellant quicker. The rate of gas generation, ?_? , can be described by the equation: ?_?=?_1 ?^?, where P is the pressure, and C1 and n are the constants for a given propellant with given exposed surface area.

The hot gas leaving the rocket must pass through the throat of the exhaust nozzle at sonic velocity.

▪The higher the pressure, the greater the density of this gas and the greater the rate of mass flow at sonic velocity. (The speed of sound in a gas is independent of pressure.) Accordingly, the rate of gas escape, ??r_e , is described by the equation: ??=?2?r_e=C_2 P where C2 is a constant, dependent on cross section area of the nozzle throat and on the velocity of sound in the combustion products.

▪What is the steady operating pressure of a solid-propellant rocket for the given values of the constants C1 , C2, and n? What values of n keep it stable?

Oscar Clemente is the manager of Forbes Division of Pitt, Inc., a manufacturer of biotech products. Forbes Division, which has $4 million in assets, manufactures a special testing device. At the beginning of the current year, Forbes invested $5 million in automated equipment for test machine assembly. The division's expected income statement at the beginning of the year was as follows:

Sales revenue $ 16,000,000 Operating costs Variable 2,000,000 Fixed (all cash) 7,500,000 Depreciation New equipment 1,500,000 Other 1,250,000 Division operating profit $ 3,750,000

A sales representative from LSI Machine Company approached Oscar in October. LSI has for $6.5 million a new assembly machine that offers significant improvements over the equipment Oscar bought at the beginning of the year. The new equipment would expand division output by 10 percent while reducing cash fixed costs by 5 percent. It would be depreciated for accounting purposes over a three-year life. Depreciation would be net of the $500,000 salvage value of the new machine. The new equipment meets Pitt's 20 percent cost of capital criterion. If Oscar purchases the new machine, it must be installed prior to the end of the year. For practical purposes, though, Oscar can ignore depreciation on the new machine because it will not go into operation until the start of the next year. The old machine, which has no salvage value, must be disposed of to make room for the new machine. Pitt has a performance evaluation and bonus plan based on ROI. The return includes any losses on disposal of equipment. Investment is computed based on the end-of-year balance of assets, net book value. Ignore taxes. Oscar Clemente is still assessing the problem of whether to acquire LSI’s assembly machine. He learns that the new machine could be acquired next year, but if he waits until then, it will cost 15 percent more. The salvage value would still be $500,000. Other costs or revenue estimates would be apportioned on a month-by-month basis for the time each machine (either the current machine or the machine Oscar is considering) is in use. Fractions of months may be ignored. Ignore taxes.

Required: Calculate ROI for the coming year assuming that the new equipment is bought at the beginning of the year. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your final answer to nearest whole percentage.)
