SOLUTION TO HOMEWORK PROBLEMS Chapter-4: MOTION IN TWO DIMENSIONS 1 A particle starts from the origin at t = 0 with a velocity of 6.0[pic] m/s and moves in the xy plane with a constant acceleration of (-2.0[pic] + 4.0[pic]) m/s2. At the instant the particle achieves its maximum positive x coordinate‚ how far is it from the origin? [pic] 2 At t = 0‚ a particle leaves the origin with a velocity of 5.0 m/s in the positive y direction. Its acceleration is given by [pic] = (3.0[pic] - 2.0[pic])

In addition to increasing sales‚ variable and fixed costs must be controlled. Increased competition must be tackled. Solutions must be found to hasten operational breakeven without losing customer focus. Options: Modify the hub/spoke model. Add more spokes so that there is greater market penetration.

theories try to explain what distinguishes right actions from wrong ones. The theory of utilitarianism tries to do the same by incorporating several aspects that set up a moral standard to help investigate the balance between right and wrong. John Stuart Mill‚ a British philosopher of the 1800’s defends the utilitarian school of thought by pointing out what it is that makes utilitarianism the standard theory for morality. According to Utilitarianism as explained by Mill in his essay “In Defense of
