You hike up to the top of Granite Peak in the Trinity Alps to think about physics.

1. Do you have more potential or kinetic energy at the top of the mountain than you did at the bottom? Explain.
2. Do you have more, less, or the same amount of energy at the top of the mountain than when you started? (Let’s assume you did not eat anything on the way up.) Explain.
3. How has the total energy of the Solar System changed due to your hike up the mountain? Explain.
4. If you push a rock off the top, will it end up with more, less, or the same amount of energy at the bottom? Explain.
5. For each of the following types of energy, describe whether you gained it, you lost it, or it stayed the same during your hike:
   1. Gravitational potential energy
   2. Energy stored in the atomic nuclei in your body
   3. Heat energy
   4. Chemical potential energy stored in the fat cells in your body
   5. Sound energy from your footsteps
   6. Energy given to you by a wind blowing at your back

Transfer pricing is a contentious issue for almost any company where divisions buy from or sell to each other. Stated another way, transfer pricing causes more conflict between divisions than almost any other issue. Does your company use transfer pricing to "charge" divisions for the cost of the products they consume? Are these prices set equal to the opportunity cost of the product? Why or why not? Can you think of a better organizational architecture?

Read about God as creator in Genesis 1:20-25; Psalm 104; Amos 4:13; Amos 5:8; and Psalm 19:1-6. Write a paragraph describing the rights God has and the responsibilities that God takes toward the physical world He created (see also Psalm 145:15-16, Matthew 6:25-34). Christianity teaches that food, clothing, and shelter are gifts from God. Even though people work to generate income for them, a person’s health and job are instrumental ways for God to care for humans (for more information, see the Veith article, “God at Work”). By God’s design, the Bible teaches that humans are to live simply, not be wasteful, to use renewable resources, to recycle non-renewable resources, not to litter, to care for the earth and all creatures, to be thankful for God’s providence, and to care for other humans. Ordinarily, God uses natural means to care for His creation (nature and people) – so that a farmer in Minnesota may raise corn that will feed cattle in Idaho, become ethanol in Iowa, and be used for food in Indiana and India. Those means include humans taking care of the world and others. However, sometimes (rarely), God can intervene directly. Use the concordance or other resources in the NIV Study Bible to explore stories of God’s providence and natural or supernatural power over creation (think about the Flood, Joseph in Egypt, the Plagues, the Red Sea, manna and quail, and other miracles where God shows power over the creation; e.g., consider passages like Mark 4:35-41). Describe God’s power involved in the forces and laws of nature, as well as how certain fixed laws can be suspended in supernatural displays of God’s power like in the miracles.

Referring to accessibility, affordability, availability and acceptability, give an example of why each could be a target for change if the desired health behavior were a flu shot

This activity delves into another aspect of the Old Testament. Some of the Old Testament is narrative reading, like that we have covered already. Some is Hebrew poetry, like the psalms we read for last week. However, a majority of the content of the Old Testament is prophetic writing which speaks a message from God to some audience, either believers or non-believers. Many of the prophets and characters interacted with God, and their lives were influenced by their faith and their relationship with God. The readings this week all reflect a message from God that is drawn from the character’s experience. Job’s experience teaches believers how to deal with significant personal loss; Hosea’s experience reflects God’s faithful love for the world in a manner similar to a faithful lover in an unfaithful situation; Daniel’s experience was as a believer captured and told to serve a foreign king that worshiped other gods, and how Daniel responded. Isaiah, on the other hand, received verbal messages from God that pointed to a far distant Savior, the Messiah who we recognize as Jesus.

Read Job 1-7, 38-42; Isaiah 1-11; 40-41; 52:13-53:12; Hosea 1, 3, 11-14; and Daniel 1-6. In the first paragraph, describe in detail the experiences, good and bad, of one of the four characters in the Bible reading. Try to ensure that all four characters are represented among members of the cohort. Describe the way in which experience shaped that character, and how God uses suffering and other experiences for His almighty purpose. What did each person learn from suffering or difficulty?

Assume that three capital letter alleles (A, B and C) control dark pigmentation because more melanin is produced. The lower-case alleles of these three genes (a, b & c) control light pigmentation because lower amounts of melanin are produced. The effect of these alleles is additive meaning a genotype with all capital alleles (AABBCC) has the maximum amount of melanin and very dark skin. A genotype with all small case alleles (aabbcc) has the lowest amount of melanin and very light skin. Each capital allele produces one unit of color, so that a wide range of intermediate skin colors are produced, depending on the number of capital alleles in the genotype.

What would be the possible skin colors (based upon total units of color) produced and their ratios by the following mating: Male - AaBbCc (3 units) X Female - aabbCc (1 unit).

Given a sequence of integers as an array, determine whether it is possible to obtain a strictly increasing sequence by removing no more than one element from the array. Here are the constraints. 1. You must use only arrays. 2. You are not allowed to make copies of the array (use only the one that is passed). 3. Your algorithm running time must be at most O(n 2 ). i.e. You can have only one loop within another. Ideally, you should be able to find a linear running time algorithm. i.e. you can even solve this problem using a single loop. Note: Sequence a0, a1, . . . an is considered to be a strictly increasing if a0 < a1 < . . . < an. Sequence containing only one element is also considered to be strictly increasing. Assuming your method is almostIncreasingSequence, following main method could be used to test your code.

public static void main(String[] args) { int[] a1 = {1, 3, 2, 1}; // false int[] a2 = {1, 3, 2}; // true int[] a3 = {1, 2, 1, 2}; // false int[] a4 = {3, 6, 5, 8, 10, 20, 15}; // false int[] a5 = {1, 1, 2, 3, 4, 4}; // false int[] a6 = {1, 4, 10, 4, 2}; // false int[] a7 = {10, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5}; // true int[] a8 = {1, 1, 1, 2, 3}; // false int[] a9 = {0, -2, 5, 6}; // true int[] a10 = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 3, 5, 6}; // false int[] a11 = {40, 50, 60, 10, 20, 30}; // false int[] a12 = {1, 1}; // true int[] a13 = {1, 2, 5, 3, 5}; // true int[] a14 = {1, 2, 5, 5, 5}; // false int[] a15 = {10, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 1}; // false int[] a16 = {1, 2, 3, 4, 3, 6}; // true int[] a17 = {1, 2, 3, 4, 99, 5, 6}; // true int[] a18 = {123, -17, -5, 1, 2, 3, 12, 43, 45}; // true int[] a19 = {3, 5, 67, 98, 3}; // true int[] a20 = {1, 1, 1}; // false System.out.println(Arrays.toString(a1) + ": " + (almostIncreasingSequence(a1) == false)); System.out.println(Arrays.toString(a2) + ": " + (almostIncreasingSequence(a2) == true)); System.out.println(Arrays.toString(a3) + ": " + (almostIncreasingSequence(a3) == false)); System.out.println(Arrays.toString(a4) + ": " + (almostIncreasingSequence(a4) == false)); System.out.println(Arrays.toString(a5) + ": " + (almostIncreasingSequence(a5) == false)); System.out.println(Arrays.toString(a6) + ": " + (almostIncreasingSequence(a6) == false)); System.out.println(Arrays.toString(a7) + ": " + (almostIncreasingSequence(a7) == true)); System.out.println(Arrays.toString(a8) + ": " + (almostIncreasingSequence(a8) == false)); System.out.println(Arrays.toString(a9) + ": " + (almostIncreasingSequence(a9) == true)); System.out.println(Arrays.toString(a10) + ": " + 2 (almostIncreasingSequence(a10) == false)); System.out.println(Arrays.toString(a11) + ": " + (almostIncreasingSequence(a11) == false)); System.out.println(Arrays.toString(a12) + ": " + (almostIncreasingSequence(a12) == true)); System.out.println(Arrays.toString(a13) + ": " + (almostIncreasingSequence(a13) == true)); System.out.println(Arrays.toString(a14) + ": " + (almostIncreasingSequence(a14) == false)); System.out.println(Arrays.toString(a15) + ": " + (almostIncreasingSequence(a15) == false)); System.out.println(Arrays.toString(a16) + ": " + (almostIncreasingSequence(a16) == true)); System.out.println(Arrays.toString(a17) + ": " + (almostIncreasingSequence(a17) == true)); System.out.println(Arrays.toString(a18) + ": " + (almostIncreasingSequence(a18) == true)); System.out.println(Arrays.toString(a19) + ": " + (almostIncreasingSequence(a19) == true)); System.out.println(Arrays.toString(a20) + ": " + (almostIncreasingSequence(a20) == false)); }

Output should be the following (Please carefully look at why it prints all true before asking questions).

Urea (CH4N2O) is a common fertilizer that can be synthesized by the reaction of ammonia (NH3) with carbon dioxide as follows:

2NH3(aq)+CO2(aq)→CH4N2O(aq)+H2O(l)

In an industrial synthesis of urea, a chemist combines 129.2 kg of ammonia with 211.4 kg of carbon dioxide and obtains 180.1 kg of urea.

1).Determine the theoretical yield of urea

2).Determine the percent yield for the reaction.

How can mangers actually use stereotype threat to create more diversity-friendly work environments? How would you do it in your organization?

The production department in a process manufacturing system completed 88,000 units of product and transferred them to finished goods during a recent period. Of these units, 26,400 were in process at the beginning of the period. The other 61,600 units were started and completed during the period. At period-end, 16,400 units were in process.

Prepare the department’s equivalent units of production with respect to direct materials under each of the three separate assumptions using the FIFO method for process costing

San Francisco’s famous Steph’s Restaurant is open 24 hours per day. Servers report for duty at 3 a.m., 7 a.m., 11 a.m., 3 p.m., 7 p.m., or 11 p.m., and each works an 8-hour shift. The following table shows the minimum number of workers needed during the 6 periods into which the day is divided:

Owner Steph Curry’s scheduling problem is to determine how many servers should report for work at the start of each time period in order to minimize the total staff required for one day’s operation. Formulate (but do not solve) the appropriate LP.

Slick Oil Company has three warehouses from which it can ship products to any of three retail outlets. The demand in cans for the product Gunkout is 320 at retail outlet 1; 350 at outlet 2; and 255 at outlet 3. The inventory (capacity) of Gunkout at warehouse A is 270; at warehouse B is 375; and at warehouse C is 390. The cost of transporting one unit of Gunkout from each warehouse to each retail outlet follows.

a. Formulate an LP to determine how many units should be shipped from each warehouse to each retailer so the demand at each retailer is met at minimum cost.

b. Solve this problem on a computer. (Note: feel free to use the 3 x 3 Transportation Model Template on the course website.)
