You have been assigned to a development team that is building software that will be used to control the operations of a bicycle rental store. A rental store has a limited number of vehicles that can be managed. A bicycle rental store must maintain information about how many vehicles are available for rental. The bicycle rental store must provide publicly available methods to allow vehicles to be added and removed from it. The rental store should also provide publicly available methods that reports its capacity. An attempt to add or remove the vehicle other than it’s capacity should print the message letting user know that he/she can’t add or delete the vehicle (Hint: use “if” condition to check the number of vehicles. They shouldn’t be more that 5/5 each to add and less than 1 to delete). At the moment there are two distinct types of vehicles: bicycle and quadricycle (four-wheel bicycle). Every vehicle has a company code, a fun name, number of wheels and a rental price. The bicycle has two wheels whereas quadricycle has four. Define the Java classes that are required to implement the functionality that is described above. Be sure to use object-oriented principles in your Java code. Hints • Vehicle class, Bicycle class, Quadricycle class, RentalStore class. • Bicycle class and Quadricycle class inherits extends from Vehicle class • RentalStore class will have methods to show the total number of vehicles, add/delete Bicycle and add/delete Quadricycle • Rental class should have ArrayList • In general every class should have attributes, constructor and it’s methods. • Besides RentalStore class, all other classes should have toString() method . • Create TestClass that have Main() method. Bicycles: company code 0001, a fun name ( your choice), number of wheels : 2 and a rental price 150 company code 0002, a fun name ( your choice), number of wheels : 2 and a rental price 110 company code 0003, a fun name ( your choice), number of wheels : 2 and a rental price 50 company code 0004, a fun name ( your choice), number of wheels : 2 and a rental price 250 company code 0005, a fun name ( your choice), number of wheels : 2 and a rental price 90 quadricycle : company code 0011, a fun name ( your choice), number of wheels : 4 and a rental price 250 company code 0012, a fun name ( your choice), number of wheels : 4 and a rental price 110 company code 0013, a fun name ( your choice), number of wheels : 4 and a rental price 210 company code 0014, a fun name ( your choice), number of wheels : 4 and a rental price 210 company code 0015, a fun name ( your choice), number of wheels : 4 and a rental price 190 For this scenario, we will have 5 bicycles and 5 quadricycles (total of 10 vehicles). Add all those vehicles to an ArrayList. Find bicycles with price less than $100 and delete all of them. Find quadricycles with price less than $200 and delete all of them. At last, show to total number of remaining vehicles with their details.

According to Psychology: From Inquiry to Understanding (3rd ed.), describe a time when your sympathetic nervous system kicked into gear and you experienced the fight-or-flight reaction. What did it feel like? “The Autonomic Nervous System” in Unit 2 of the textbook, pages105 - 106

(a) Select all of the correct statements about reaction rates from the choices below.

The lower the rate of a reaction the longer it takes to reach completion.


A balanced chemical reaction is necessary to relate the rate of reaction to the concentration of a reactant.


The rate of a fast step has more effect on the overall reaction rate than the rate of a slow step.


Solid catalysts increase reaction rates as their surface areas increase.


Slow reactions can be speeded up by raising the temperature.


Reactions involving very unstable combinations of chemicals have small rate constants.


Reaction rates always increase as masses of solid reactants increase.

2.90 moles of an ideal gas with Cv,m = 3R/2 undergoes the transformations described in the following list from an initial state described by T=310. K and P = 1.00 bar.

Part 1) The gas is heated to 725K at a constant external pressure of 1.00 bar. calculate q, w, delta U, delta H and delta S for this process.

Part 2) The gas is heated to 725 K at a constant volume corresponding to the initial volume. calculate q, w, delta U, delta H, delta S for this process

Part 3) the gas undergoes a reversible isothermal expansion at 310.K until the pressure is one third of its initial value. calculate q, w, delta U, delta H, delta S for this process

What is the Good Life, according to you? As a society, what should we be focusing on? In this assessment piece, you are required to draw on the concepts covered in the workshops and lectures, and your own ideas and experiences to briefly describe your view of the Good Life.

In this description, you can consider what you think our society should aspire to achieve, what you think progress is (and isn’t), what we should value, or whether you believe in promoting equality, equity or opportunity. Highlight how your idea of the Good Life compares or contrasts with the arguments made in the course readings. Reflect on these concepts in relation to your own motivations for enrolling in your degree. For example, is there a relationship between what you value, and the program that you have enrolled in?

Project Description

In this project you will build a car configuration application in six units. Each unit provides learning opportunities in Object Oriented Design. You are expected to document these lessons and apply them in the next unit. You will notice that the design guidance will taper off as you progress through units in Project 1. You will be expected to design on your own.

Project 1 - Unit 1

In this project you will build a Car Configuration Application using Java. In this unit you will develop a “reference” base object model, read a text file to build the reference base object model and archive it using Serialization.

I would like you to start with a proof of concept – so we will first build the underlying object using normal Java Classes and Inner Classes.

For our proof of concept please consider the following requirements:

We will build Ford's Focus Wagon ZTW model with these options:

• ● Color - Fort Knox Gold Clearcoat Metallic, Liquid Grey Clearcoat Metallic, Infra-Red Clearcoat, Grabber Green Clearcoat Metallic, Sangria Red Clearcoat Metallic, French Blue Clearcoat Metallic, Twilight Blue Clearcoat Metallic, CD Silver Clearcoat Metallic, Pitch Black Clearcoat, Cloud 9 White Clearcoat

• ● Transmission - automatic or manual

• ● Brakes/Traction Control - Standard, ABS, or ABS with Advance Trac

• ● Side Impact Airbags - present or not present

• ● Power Moonroof - present or not present
  Configuration options and cost data:

Your Deliverable:

Design and code classes for these requirements and write a driver program to instantiate a Ford Wagon ZTW object and write it to a file. Test your code with a couple of instances of Forward Wagon ZTW.

Use the following driver (or something similar) for testing entire project.

class Driver {

public static void main(String [] args) {

//Build Automobile Object from a file.

Automobile FordZTW = (Some instance method in a class of Util package).readFile("FordZTW.txt");

//Print attributes before serialization

FordZTW.print();

//Serialize the object

Lab1.autoutil.FileIO.serializeAuto(FordZTW);

//Deserialize the object and read it into memory.

Automobile newFordZTW = Lab1.autoutil.FileIO.DeserializeAuto("auto.ser"); //Print new attributes.

newFordZTW.print();

}

}

The sampled population is normally distributed, with the given information. (Give your answers correct to two decimal places.)

n = 11, x = 29.6, and σ = 6.4

Sherry Shellenbocker, the CFO of a Canadian multinational, was arguing for the establishment of a shared services center. The center would be owned an operated by an external provider. She recommended starting with back-office payment processing for all of the corporations six divisions. Payment processing was a hassle, and Sherry was glad to hand this over to a capable service provider if she can find one. What advice would you give to Sherry?

Shared services is most typically a company-owned service unit that allows for greater efficiencies without giving up control. Sherry should get more clarity on what she is trying to accomplish before moving forward with this initiative.  

She is on a good path. By outsourcing shared services, Sherry will be able to focus on higher value-added activities.

Payment processing should never be outsourced.

Sherry should first determine if the shared services center satisfied the "Rules of Nine" criteria for supplier partnerships.
