imagine you are a Neanderthal having a conversation with a Homo sapiens sapiens who is living in the same part of the world as you at the same time (maybe 30,000 years ago). For the sake of this exercise, imagine that you can understand each other. What do you find most interesting about their behavior?

Charged pions ($\pi^+$ and $\pi^-$) are sub-atomic particles that decay into muons, among other particles. They have a proper half-life (i.e., measured in their rest frame) of $1.8 \times$ $10^{-8}$ s. a.) What is the pion's half-life $\tau_{1/2}$ if it is measured in a frame where it is traveling with a speed of 0.8 $c$? b.) Suppose now that you have 32,000 pions all created at the same place and all traveling with the same speed as in part (a). How many $N_\pi$ will remain after they have traveled down an evacuated (i.e, no air that might absorb them) pipe of length $L = 36$ m. Do not forget about their half-life! c.) Now repeat the calculation but ignore time dilation. Call this number of survivors $N'$. Notice the difference from the previous calculation.

Problem 5- We have a binary system of 70 mol% toluene (1) and 30 mol% p-xylene (2) that behaves like an ideal liquid solution; therefore, we can apply Raoult's Law: $y_i P = x_i P_i^{sat}$ What are the vapor phase compositions for a temperature of 75 °C and pressure of 30 KPa? Solve the problem two ways: a) Use the Antoine equation. b) Use the shortcut vapor pressure equation.

The Speed Aircraft Corporation has a central materials laboratory. The laboratory has only two users, the Large Plane Department and the Small Plane Department. The following data apply to the year: Operating Departments Initial Request- Technician Hours Actual Usage - Technician Hours Large Plane Department 81,000 70,000 Small Plane Department 69,000 65,000 Total 150,000 135,000 Actual central materials laboratory costs for the year was $816,000 - Fixed costs $600,000; Variable costs $216,000. If a dual-rate cost-allocation method is used, what amount of central materials laboratory costs will be allocated to the Large Plane Department? Example of Answer: 4000 (No comma, space, decimal point, or $ sign)

On an island, there are only two common trees that produce fruit for birds to eat: small fruit that require narrow beaks to open, and large fruit that require wide beaks to crack open. A thousand years after a bird species colonizes the island, you find there are two ecotypes of the bird present: a small-bodied type with a narrow beak, and a large-bodied type with a wide beak. Each bird ecotype feeds in a different tree species, and is observed to mate and nest exclusively with its own ecotype. You conclude: \bigcirc disruptive selection on habitat choice caused birds to only mate with other birds that hung out in the same tree \bigcirc selection on beak size must have become linked to a male display trait in each ecotype \bigcirc size-assortative mating evolved as a consequence of disruptive selection on body and beak size \bigcirc sympatric speciation has gone to completion and the two ecotypes are fully reproductively isolated

A) Dollard and Miller's theory is often called a blending of Hullian learning theory and Freudian psychoanalytic theory. Explain why their theory is identified this way. Give several examples of such a blend. B) Explain why applying evolutionary principles to the study of human behavior might be disturbing to some people.
