In The Design Of A Supermarket There Are To Be Several Ramps Connecting Differen

/in /by

In the design of a supermarket, there are to be several ramps connecting different parts of the store. Customers will have to push grocery carts up the ramps and it is obviously desirable that this not be too difficult. The engineer has done a survey and found that almost no one complains if the force directed up the ramp is no more than 20 .Ignoring friction, at what maximum angle should the ramps be built, assuming a full 30 kg grocery cart?

In The Determination Of The Average Velocity Of Flow In Wide Rivers It Is Common

/in /by

In the determination of the average velocity of flow in wide rivers, it is common practice to estimate the average velocity in a vertical section by making a single measurement at a distance below the water surface equal to 60 percent of the depth. Assuming the following equation represents the true distribution in the vertical, determine the actual distance below the surface at which the velocity, u, equals the depth-averaged velocity, U. Provide a plot of your results.(u-U)/(U*sqrt(f)) = 2 log (y/h) +0.88u = velocity at a distance y above the river bedU = depth-averaged velocityh = flow depthf = friction factor (a dimensionless constant)

STRATEGIC MANAGEMENT

In the discussion about Merck (Strategy Highlight 1.2) it is clear the firm has followed a socially responsible path by donating more than 1 billion drug treatments to remedy river blindness in remote African communities. Yet Merck must also meet shareholder responsibilities and make profits on drugs in use in more affluent societies. How should a responsible firm make these trade-offs? What steps can strategic leaders take to guide organizations on these challenging issues?

In The Discussion Forums For The Last Two Weeks Sir Ken Robinson And Seth Goodin

/in /by

In the discussion forums for the last two weeks, Sir Ken Robinson and Seth Goodin challenged us to think differently about what the purpose of school is.  Seth suggests that students should be able to watch lessons at home and meet with the teacher during the day to engage in deep conversation answering questions from the video and not simply sitting in class listening to a lecture.  In fact, Khan Academy (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. is considered an innovative flipped classroom model that has taken this strategy to scale across America. In the video, Salman Khan: Let’s Use Video to Reinvent Education (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site., Salman Khan, the developer of Khan Academy discusses how shifting lectures to video provides a way to revolutionize education by making learning accessible anytime, anyway, and anyplace.  On the contrary, the video What if Khan Academy Was Made in Japan? (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site. suggests that Khan Academy reinforces the American model of learning, which continues to focus on the idea of watch a lesson and practice the skill.  After you watch both videos, think about the focus of this week’s reading: delivering effective lessons that connect your students to learning.  How do you reconcile the two different perspectives on learning exhibited in the videos?  What relevance do you see in each perspective? In what ways, if any, does either approach to teaching and learning reflect constructivism?  If you were asked to pick a side to support, which strategy would have a greater impact on ensuring students master twenty first century skills?  Explain your thinking.

Professor: Constructivism is a theory of learning in which the individual uses personal past experiences to connect and build on their concept of new learning. The pathway for each learner may look different. It is considered a middle ground between direct instruction (content is told)  and behaviorism (content is learned).  

Part of this Discussion Question is asking you to consider if either approach to teaching and learning shares constructivist views.

In The Discussion Of Making Applications More Secure An Approach That Was Propos

/in /by

In the discussion of making applications more secure, an approach that was proposed was to design applications so that they restrict the use of risky features to the circumstance that the users of the application are prepared to trust each other. However, without some means for tracking identity, there is no basis to establish trust. Which of the following would be the best answer?

  1. The lack of a mechanism in the architecture of the Internet to identify users to each other is a fundamental barrier to building trust among users
  2. The current system of Certificate Authorities could be extended to provide robust identity credentials for users
  3. Some applications today benefit from lack of any identity mechanisms
