ATTRACTION VERSUS REPULSION Consider the motion of a particle in one
dimension (x-axis) under the simultaneous influence of two forces. One force repels the
particle from the location x 1, while the second one attracts the particle towards the
location x = -1. In both cases, the force is inversely proportional to the distance from x = 1 and x = -1 respectively, but the proportionality constants may be different. Describe the trajectory of the particle over time, for different values of the two proportionality
constants. Does the motion of the particle change qualitatively as you vary the proportionality constants?

• Define variables that capture the important components of the situation.
• Set up equations to describe the desired relationship between the variables you have defined.
• Describe how to solve the equations you set up.
• Interpret the solutions you obtained in the context of the original situation.

What is the length of the missing leg in this right triangle? 18 mm 24 mm 26 mm 32 mm

The number of nails of a given length is normally distributed with a mean length of 5.00 in, and a standard deviation of 0.03 in. find the number of nails in a bag of 120 that are less than 4.94 in. long.

You and three friends will be going out to eat at your favorite restaurant! each of you will order three items of your choice. you will also need to leave a tip. if you split the bill evenly among all four of you, how much will each person need to contribute? locate a menu for your favorite restaurant and pick three items for yourself and each friend. list the restaurant name, items, and prices in a table like the one below. in the column labeled subtotal, determine the cost of each person’s order. the customary tip is 20% of the total bill. in the column labeled tip, calculate the amount of tip each person should leave. in the column labeled total bill, determine the total of each person’s order, including the tip. restaurant name: names item 1 price item 2 price item 3 price subtotal tip total bill your name friend #1 friend #2 friend #3 part 2: questions answer the following questions, showing all work: what is the total cost of the entire bill (all four meals), including tip? write an expression using fractions to show how to determine the amount that each person will pay. then calculate each person's contributions showing all steps in long division. if each person paid an equal amount, who would save the most money? explain your reasoning using at least two complete sentences.
