The half-life of cobalt-60 is 5.3 years, while that of strontium-90 is 28 years. Suppose that samples of cobalt-60 and strontium-90 are such that they initially have the same activity (number of decays per second). What is true about the initial numbers of cobalt-60 and strontium-90 nuclei in these samples? A It is not possible to compare numbers of nuclei without knowing the masses of the samples. B) There are equal numbers of cobalt-60 and strontium-90 nuclei. C There are more cobalt-60 than strontium-90 nuclei. D There are more strontium-90 than cobalt-60 nuclei.

Given a time-independent wavefunction \(\Psi(x) = (Ax(a^2 - x^2))^{1/2}\) on the interval \(0 \le x \le a\), with A being a real constant, find: a) A. Given this A, what is the interpretation of the integral of the square of the wave-function from 0 to a? b) \(\langle x \rangle\) and \(\langle x^2 \rangle\) c) The square root of the variance, \(\sigma_x\). What does this value for \(\sigma_x\) tell you about the square root of the variance of the momentum, \(\sigma_p\)?

5. (a) Evaluate the surface integral \iint_\sigma xz \,dS where \(\sigma\) is the cylindrical surface \(x^2 + y^2 = 1\) bounded by the planes \(x = 0\), \(z = 0\) and \(z = 1\), and the normal vector pointing outward from the surface. [9 marks] (b) Given the surface integral \iint_\sigma \mathbf{F} \cdot \mathbf{n} \,dS where \(\mathbf{F} = xy^2 \mathbf{i} + x^2y \mathbf{j} + 4z \mathbf{k}\), \(\sigma\) is the surface of the cylinder defined by \(x^2 + y^2 \le 4\) such that \(0 \le z \le 4\), and \(\mathbf{n}\) is the out- ward unit normal vector to the surface \(\sigma\). Use Gauss' Theorem to evaluate the integral. [6 marks] (c) A tetrahedron is bounded by the planes \(x + 2y + 4z = 4\), \(x = 0\), \(y = 0\), and \(z = 0\). The vector field \(\mathbf{F} = x^2 \mathbf{i} + xyz \mathbf{j} + 4z \mathbf{k}\), is defined on the open surface \(\sigma\) which is part of the tetrahedron but not including the plane \(x + 2y + 4z = 4\). The orientation of the surface \(\sigma\) is outward with \(C\) (the closed curve on the boundary) oriented clockwise as viewed from above. Using Stokes' Theorem, evaluate the integral \iint_\sigma (\nabla \times \mathbf{F}) \cdot \mathbf{n} \,dS. [5 marks]

2. (23 pts) Consider a dynamic macro model like the one in Chapter 15, where the full-employment level of output $\bar{Y_t}$ is constant. If the central bank decided to increase its target rate of inflation $\pi_t^*$, a) Would it initially increase or decrease the nominal interest rate? b) When the model settles down to its new equilibrium, would the nominal interest rate be higher, lower, or the same as it was before the policy change? c) At the new equilibrium, would output be higher, lower, or the same as in the equilibrium before the policy change? Briefly explain.
