During takeoff a massive 300,000 kg jumbo jet has thrust (engine exerts a force) 120,000 N while encountering wind resistive force is 5,000 N.                               (a).         Calculate the jet’s acceleration when it takes off?                                               (2.5 points)   (b).         What is the jet’s speed after it accelerates for 5.0 s? (Assume it starts from rest.)                           (1.5 points) (c).         How far does the jet travel during the 7.0 s?                                                                                      (1.5 points)

(a).       State the law of conservation of linear momentum.                                                                          (1.5 points) (b).         A railroad diesel engine weighs four times as much as a 30,000 kg freight car. If the diesel engine coasts at 50 km/h and collides head-on with the freight car             going at 75 km/h.  What is the magnitude and direction of their common velocity (in km/h) after the collision assuming they latched together.                            (3.0 points)                                                                                       

(a).       A motorist runs out of gas on a level road 160 m from a gas station. The driver pushes the 1,260 kg car to the gas station. If a 120 N force is required to keep the            car moving, how much work (in J) does the driver do?                                                                                                                                                              (1.5 points) (b).         A tennis ball is thrown straight up with a vertical speed of 16 m/s. How far up does it go before falling back down and what is the magnitude and direction of the               acceleration just before it starts to fall back down?                                                                                                                                                               (2.5 points)  (c).         In an experiment performed in a space station, a force of 45 N causes an object to have an acceleration equal to 2.3 m/s2. What is the object’s mass?                                                                                                                                                                                               (1.5 points) (d).         Calculate the work done by lifting a 500 N barbell 2.2 m above the floor.                                     (1.5 points)

The COTA is working with a client who is homeless, and has bipolar disorder.  She is having difficulty eating regularly, taking her medication, and has been been robbed several times.  She  wants to reconnect with her minor children and get a job.  She is currently in a manic phase and is having difficulty prioritizing tasks.  Using Maslow’s Hierarchy as a model, what should the COTA help her do first?

When Baldwin describes his audience as innocents, which dictionary definition is most apt?

“By this time, I was in a high school that was predominately Jewish. This meant that I was surrounded by people who were, by definition, beyond any hope of salvation, who laughed at the leaflets I brought to school, and who pointed out that the Gospels had been written long after the death of Christ. This might not have been so distressing if it had not forced me to read the tracts and leaflets myself, for they were indeed, unless one believed their message already, impossible to believe.” How does this exhibit critical thinking?
