  • Can a teacher be fired for insubordination if they refuse to wear a shirt given to them?

    A teacher is given a shirt with the school logo on it and told that they must wear the shirt every Friday. When given this shirt, they also received a copy of the new school district policy requiring all staff to wear the shirts on Fridays. The teacher objected to wearing the shirt and was given an oral warning as well as instruction to wear the shirt on future Fridays. The teacher continued to ignore the order and after moving through the steps of progressive discipline, the teacher was discharged for insubordination. The teacher filed suit against the school district for violation of his constitutional rights. Who should the judge find for and what cases can be cited for this opinion?

  • Carnot's reason states that the reversible engine is the most effective engine.?

    He said that if a better engine were made, he could use it to run the "Carnot" engine in reverse and thereby create an impossible engine. Modify this reasoning to show how Carnot could have argued that, running in reverse, the Carnot engine is the most efficient refrigerator.

  • A hammer is composed of a shaft (1.2 kg and length of 90 cm) and head (5 kg centered 86 cm from the axis). It is stationary when?

    A hammer is composed of a shaft (1.2 kg and length of 90 cm) and head (5 kg centered 86 cm from the axis). It is stationary when a smaller mass (4.2 kg) travelling at 6.5 m/s collides with it. The smaller mass stops and the hammer rotates counterclockwise. Find the angular velocity of the hammer immediately after the collision, assuming angular momentum is conserved and that the line of action goes directly through the center of the hammer head. You may ignore any effect of the hammer head gaining GPE. Finally evaluate how much KE is lost in the collision. (Answer should be about 20.2J)

  • Deficiencies that cause white lines on toenails and easy bruising?

    I am curious if there are any vitamin deficiencies that could cause overall easy bruising (possibly anemia?) and white, horizontal lines across toenails. Two things could be totally unrelated but it never hurts to ask!

  • How does conservation of momentum apply to this situation?

    Discuss how the conservation f momentum applies to this situation: a 65 kg person starts walking due east and then comes to a stop. That is, it appears that momentum appears out of nowhere and then goes entirely away, which is impossible according to the principle of conservation of momentum.

  • Finding derivatives using limits f(a+h)-f(a)/h as h approaches 0?

    Find f '(a).

    1. f(t) = (6t + 40)/(t + 7)

    2. f(x) = 1/sq. root of (x + 3)

    3. f(t) = t^(4) − 2t

  • Can you help me name my farm?

    I'm looking for name suggestions for my new farm. I'm eventually planning to board and teach lessons (primarily English) but right now I've just got my 5 horses, 2 goats, 2 cats, and 2 dogs here. My farm consists of 21 horse stalls, 30 acres and a covered arena, all tucked away in a tiny town in Eastern Washington. It's nice and green here and we have lots of pine and fir trees around the property. I'd like the farm to be centred around Appaloosas but I do have Quarter Horses and a Thoroughbred, so I can't be too partial! My property was once a part of a large ranch called Stonebrook Ranch that got subdivided, but there's still a large sign entering the property with that name on it. Trying to think of a catchy farm/ranch name that I can expand my business with.

    Some ideas I've had:

    T-Stone Ranch (our last name starts with a T)

    Sweet Briar Farm

    Rocky Spot Ranch

    Spotted Acres Farm

    But I'd like some more suggestions!

    Thanks so much!

  • crossing two individuals heterozygous for two traits results in the same phenotypic ratio as for a single trait.?

    are the genes for these two traits on seperate chromosomes or on the same chromosome? explain you answer. (remember

    that the gene for each trait is located at a locus, a physical region on the chromosome.)

  • How to determine which phenotype is a mutant?

    I did an experiment with C-ferns and we looked at the phenotypes of solid green and spotted. In the beginning, the ratio was nearly 50:50, however; as the experiment progressed, the ratio favored the solid green phenotype. We were asked in week 2:

    Which of the phenotypes would you designate as a mutant? Why?

    At this point the ratio was still 50:50 so I am unsure how to answer this question.
