Your "Kidnap Poem" Refer to the notes you took for the Quickwrite for "Kidnap Poem" and, using the words and phrases associated with your job, write a "kidnap poem" to someone you like. Use some of your nouns as verbs, if you're inspired: Ever been kidnapped by a singer? I'd music you to meet my mom put you in my chorus... Research/Collaboration

You are running an experiment that uses an accelerator that produces a $3.50\text{-}\mu \text{A}$ proton beam. Each proton in the beam has $60.0 \text{MeV}$ of kinetic energy. The protons impinge on, and come to rest inside, a $50.0\text{-g}$ copper target within a vacuum chamber. You are concerned that the target will get too hot and melt the solder on some connecting wires that are crucial to the experiment. $(b)$ Find the amount of energy delivered to the target each second.

Two students are selected from a group of four psychology majors, three business majors, and two music majors. The two students are to meet with the campus cafeteria manager to voice the group's concerns about food prices and quality. One student is randomly selected and leaves for the cafeteria manager's office. Then, a second student is selected. Find the probability of selecting

two business majors.

A record store sells CDs for $12.00 each. A music club offers 5 free CDs and charges$15.00 for each additional CD. Which equation can you use to find the number of CDs x that would cost the same under both plans? A. 15x - 5 = 12x B. 12x - 5 = 15x C. 12x = 15(x - 5) D. 12(x - 5) = 15x

For the following sentence, decide whether or not the clauses, labeled A and B, are independent causes. Circle the letter of each independent clause. Hint: The sentence may contain more than one independent clause. Example 1. $\text{\textcircled A}$ Harambee is a Swahili word (B) that means "unity."

(A) At a Harambee party, families and friends gather to celebrate their culture; (B) they play music, sing, dance, and discuss the exhibits of artwork.

Ethane $\left(\mathrm{C}_{2} \mathrm{H}_{6}\right)$ at $15^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ and 300 kPa and methane $\left(\mathrm{CH}_{4}\right)$ at $60^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ and 300 kPa enter an adiabatic mixing chamber. The mass flow rate of ethane is 6 kg/s, which is twice the mass flow rate of methane. Determine (a) the mixture temperature and (b) the rate of entropy generation during this process, in kW/K.

Compressed air from the compressor of a gas turbine enters the combustion chamber at $T_{1}=700 \mathrm{K}, P_{1}=600 \mathrm{kPa}$ and $\mathrm{Ma}_{1}=0.2$ at a rate of 0.3 kg/s. Via combustion, heat is transferred to the air at a rate of 150 kJ/s as it flows through the duct with negligible friction. Determine the Mach number of the duct exit and the drop in stagnation pressure $P_{01}-P_{02}$ during this process.

In "Letter to Elizabeth Barrett" (page 958 ), Robert Browning claims that her poetry "took root and grew" in him, and he praises "one and another excellence, the fresh strange music, the affluent language, the exquisite pathos and true new brave thought." Which of these qualities do you find in "Sonnet 43"? What other qualities do you find in the poem?

Lillian purchased a guitar from Smash Music Stores. It regularly sold for $670, but was on sale at 10% off. She paid 8% tax. She bought it on the installment plan and paid 15% of the total cost with tax as a down payment. Her monthly payments were$58 per month for one year. What is the total she paid for the guitar on the installment plan?

The estimated revenues r (in billions of dollars) from sales of digital music from 2002 to 2007 can be approximated by the model

$$r=15.639 t^3-104.75 t^2+303.5 t-301, \quad 2 \leq t \leq 7$$

where $t$ represents the year, with $t=2$ corresponding to 2002. Use a graphing utility to graph the model.

Apple Computer, Inc., designs, manufactures, and markets personal computers and related software. Apple also manufactures and distributes music players (iPod) and mobile phones (iPhone) along with related accessories and services including online distribution of third party music, videos, and applications. The following information was taken from a recent annual report of Apple:

$$\begin{array}{lrr} & \text { Current } & \text { Preceding } \\ & \text { Year } & \text { Year } \\ \hline \text { Land and buildings } & \$ 955 & \$ 810 \\ \text { Machinery, equipment, and internal-use software } & 1,932 & 1,491 \\ \text { Office furniture and equipment } & 115 & 122 \\ \text { Other fixed assets related to leases } & 1,665 & 1,324 \\ \text { Accumulated depreciation and amortization } & 1,713 & 1,292 \end{array}$$

b. Would you normally expect the book value of fixed assets to increase or decrease during the year?

On entering the tomb of FRED the Hero of Nod, you find yourself in a dark closed chamber with a small hole in a wall 3.0 m up from the floor. Once a year, on FRED’s birthday, a beam of sunlight enters via the hole, strikes a small polished gold disk on the floor 4.0 m from the wall and reflects off it, lighting up a great diamond embedded in the forehead of a glorious statue of FRED, 20 m from the wall. Roughly how tall is the statue?

A survey in the N.Y. Times Almanac finds the mean commute time (one way) is $25.4$ minutes for the 15 largest US cities. The Austin, TX chamber of commerce feels that Austin's commute time is less and wants to publicize this fact. The mean for 25 randomly selected commuters is $22.1$ minutes with a standard deviation of $5.3$ minutes. At the $\alpha=0.10$ level, is the Austin, TX commute significantly less than the mean commute time for the 15 largest US cities?

Two companies market new batteries targeted at owners of personal music players. DuraTunes claims a mean battery life of 11 hours, while RockReady advertises 12 hours. Suppose those standard deviations are 2 hours for DuraTunes and 1.5 hours for RockReady. You are headed for 8 hours at the beach. Which battery is most likely to last all day? Explain.
