Physics: Principles with Applications 7
(III) An atomic nucleus of mass m traveling with speed v collides elastically with a target particle of mass 2m (initially at rest) and is scattered at \(90^{\circ}\). (a) At what angle does the target particle move after the collision? (b) What are the final speeds of the two particles? (c) What fra

Microbiology: An Introduction 11
Assume you inoculated 100 facultatively anaerobic cells onto nutrient agar and incubated the plate aerobically. You then inoculated 100 cells of the same species onto nutrient agar and incubated the second plate anaerobically. Aer incubation for 24 hours, you should havea. more colonies on the ae

Urban Economics 8
Rural versus Urban Development In the initial equilibrium, a nations workforce of 24 million is divided equally between a city and a rural area. The initial common utility level is $50. The urban utility curve has the conventional hump shape, with a peak at 8 million workers. In the workforce range 8

Growth Control and Wages Consider a city with an equilibrium wage of $80 per day, equilibrium employment of 100,000 jobs, and 100 million square feet of housing. The governments growth-control policy fi xes the maximum total square footage in the city at its current level. New housing can be built, b
