On the planet Newtonia, a simple pendulum having a bob with a mass of 1.35kg and a length of 187.0cm takes 1.42s , when released from rest, to swing through an angle of 12.0?, where it again has zero speed. The circumference of Newtonia is measured to be 5.15

A place-kicker must kick a football from a point 36.0 m (about 40 yards) from the goal. Half the crowd hopes the ball will clear the crossbar, which is 3.05 m high. When kicked, the ball leaves the ground with a speed of 20.2 m/s at an angle of 51.0° to the horizontal.

(a) By how much does the ball clear or fall short (vertically) of clearing the crossbar? (Enter a negative answer if it falls short.)

Find the two initial velocity components, and from them and the equations of motion, determine the time and height when the football has traveled the required distance measured along the ground. m

(b) Does the ball approach the crossbar (and cross above or beneath it) while still rising or while falling?

rising

or falling

1. Trade problems of the developing countries and their solutions

Unstable export markets, worsening terms of trade, and limited access to the markets in advanced countries are just a few of the problems that have plagued developing nations in Africa, Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East. For example, developing countries have worsening terms of trade because of ________ (falling prices of exports relative to imports/ rising prices of exports relative to imports/ the high price elasticity of supply).

Developing nations have formed international commodity agreements (ICAs) between leading producing and consuming nations of commodities. To promote stability in commodity markets, ICAs have relied on production and export controls, buffer stocks, and multilateral contracts. For example, the fair trade system may help to _______ (increase the number of middlemen selling farmer's products/ increase the income of farmers in developing nations/ decrease the markup price that retailers charge on farmer's products).

Besserbrau AG is a German beer producer headquartered in Ergersheim, Bavaria. The company, which was founded in 1842 by brothers Hans and Franz Besser, is publicly traded, with shares listed on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange. Manufactur- ing in strict accordance with the almost 500-year-old German Beer Purity Law, Besserbrau uses only four ingredients in making its products: malt, hops, yeast, and water. While the other ingredients are obtained locally, Besserbrau imports hops from a company located in the Czech Republic. Czech hops are considered to be among the world’s finest. Historically, Besserbrau’s products were marketed exclusively in Germany. To take advantage of a potentially enormous market for its products and expand sales, Besserbrau began making sales in the People’s Republic of China three years ago. The company established a wholly owned sub- sidiary in China (BB Pijio) to handle the distribution of Besserbrau products in that country. In the most recent year, sales to BB Pijio accounted for 20 percent of Besserbrau’s sales, and BB Pijio’s sales to customers in China accounted for 10 per- cent of the Besserbrau Group’s total profits. In fact, sales of Besserbrau products in China have expanded so rapidly and the potential for continued sales growth is so great that the company recently broke ground on the construction of a brewery in Shanghai, China. To finance construction of the new facility, Besserbrau negotiated a listing of its shares on the London Stock Exchange to facilitate an initial public offering of new shares of stock.

Required: Discuss the various international accounting issues confronted by Besserbrau AG.

Consider the following questions and a student's response to each question (shown in italics). In each case, determine if the student's answer is true or false.

Explain the reasons that the distance curve has the shape it does.

The distance curve is an increasing curved line because the object is accelerating.

TrueFalse    

The velocity curve is an increasing straight line. What does this mean?

The velocity curve is a straight line because the object is moving with constant speed.

TrueFalse    

Calculate the slope of the velocity curve. Do you recognize what this is?

The slope of the velocity curve is the acceleration of the object and I calculated a slope of about 4.9 m/s².

TrueFalse    

The acceleration curve is a horizontal straight line. What does this mean?

The acceleration curve is a horizontal line because the acceleration of the object does not change with time.

TrueFalse

Q2. A ball is released from the top of a cliff; it hits the ground 3.5 seconds later. Assuming the ball is a free falling object, how many meters is the cliff above the ground below? (Use

g = 9.8 m/s².

Express your answer to one decimal point.)

Q3. The velocity vs. time curve of an object is an increasing straight line. You observe that when the time is 1 second, the velocity is equal to 4 m/s, and when the time is 4 seconds, the velocity is 28 m/s.What is the acceleration of the object? (Express your answer to one decimal point.)

Q4. What is the magnitude of the acceleration of a modified Atwood machine if the mass of the cart is 8 kg and the hanging mass is 10 kg? (Use

g = 9.8 m/s².

Express your answer to one decimal point.

Q5 In a completely frictionless Newton's Cradle toy, the change in speed of the balls coming in and those going out is zero. This is because the net force at the time of the collisions is equal to the weight of the number of balls interacting.
