Alice is playing a game with Bob where they are competing to get the smallest score. They start with a large number with digits. Alice starts by removing either the first digit or the last digit from the number, and adding that to her score. Bob continues by doing the same thing to the new -digit number. They continue taking turns removing digits until there are no more digits in the number. Assume both players play optimally. Example: Let the number they’re playing with be which has digits. The optimal score for Alice (who starts the game) will be 11 (digits 9, 2), whereas Bob scores 14 (digits 5, 9). We can let be the optimal score of Alice when her turn starts and there are digits through of left. The goal is to design an efficient dynamic programming algorithm to compute the optimal score Alice can achieve. The table has size

(lecture; Rocque & Duwe, 2018) What risk factor is not a component of the “trinity of violence” risk factors for mass shootings?

(lecture; Chapter 11) In class we discussed the “staircase model” of terrorism, which contains six floors (ground floor to fifth floor). Briefly describe any THREE of these floors and number them (1 point each: 0.25 point for correctly naming and numbering the floor and 0.75 point for correctly describing the floor; 0.25 point for only providing an example of the floor). If you describe more than three floors, only the first three will be graded. Responses to “short answer” questions should be short (e.g., 1-3 sentences).

The inverse square law helps us understand how light does this:

A high contrast style of lighting means using this technique on faces of characters.

A potter’s wheel, with rotational inertia 48 kg∙m2, is spinning freely at 40 rpm. The potter drops a lump of clay onto the wheel, where it sticks a distance 1.2 m from the rotational axis. If the subsequent angular speed of the wheel and clay is 32 rpm what is the mass of the clay?

A machinist turns the power on to a grinding wheel, which is at rest at time t = 0.00 s. The wheel accelerates uniformly for 10 s and reaches the operating angular velocity of 25 rad/s. The wheel is run at that angular velocity for 37 s and then power is shut off. The wheel decelerates uniformly at 1.5 rad/s2 until the wheel stops. In this situation, the time interval of angular deceleration (slowing down) is closest to:
