TEXTO PARA A PRÓXIMA QUESTÃO:
Psychology of Money
Study: The Rich Really Are More Selfish

“Lower-class” individuals – i.e., folks without much money or education – demonstrate more compassion and empathy than their wealthy counterparts, according to a series of psychological studies. In social scientist speech, “self-oriented behavior” is more likely to be exhibited by people with good education, prestigious jobs, high income, and overall higher-ranking social status.
How you rank in society purportedly 1has a lot to do with how much you care about your fellow man. That’s the gist of “Social Class as Culture: The Convergence of Resources and Rank in the Social Realm,” a new paper written by University of California psychologists and social scientists published in the academic journal Current Directions in Psychological Science.
The authors write that one’s sense of social class – derived mainly from income and education – “exerts broad influences on social thought, emotion, and behavior.” Using various tests that measure empathy, those who perceive themselves among the lower classes demonstrate “heightened vigilance of the social context and an other-focused social orientation.” In other words, poorer, less well-educated individuals tend to notice, and care more about the people around them. 2“Upper-class rank perceptions,” on the other hand, “trigger a focus away from the context toward the self, prioritizing self-interest.”
3How the heck can researchers measure something like empathy? One study, for instance, asked participants to identify the emotions on display in photos of people with different facial expressions. Those with high-school-only educations showed “greater empathetic accuracy” than participants with college educations.
The paper also claims that people with less education and less money tend to be more generous with what money they do have. When the question is posed regarding how much people should give to charity, “lower-class” ranks suggest a higher percentage of one’s income than the percentage recommended by the wealthy.
Another study cited in the paper involved giving participants 10 points, which would later be traded in for money. The individuals given the points were to divide them up between themselves and an anonymous partner. 4Guess who shared more of their points?
We found that individuals reporting lower subjective socioeconomic status gave more to their partner than did upper-socioeconomic-status participants. In this context, the next time you’re called “low-class,” 5consider it a compliment.

(Uftm 2012) Boleadeira é o nome de um aparato composto por três esferas unidas por três cordas inextensíveis e de mesmo comprimento, presas entre si por uma das pontas. O comprimento de cada corda é 0,5 m e o conjunto é colocado em movimento circular uniforme, na horizontal, com velocidade angular ω de 6 rad/s, em disposição simétrica, conforme figura.
Desprezando-se a resistência imposta pelo ar e considerando que o conjunto seja lançado com velocidade V (do ponto de junção das cordas em relação ao solo) de módulo 4 m/s, pode-se afirmar que o módulo da velocidade resultante da esfera A no momento indicado na figura, também em relação ao solo, é, em m/s,

(Uftm 2013) Considere o gráfico, que relaciona a pressão atmosférica com a altitude.
a) Considerando que a composição do ar se mantenha constante com a altitude e que o ar tenha comportamento de gás ideal, calcule o valor aproximado do quociente:
Mostre como obteve esse valor.
b) Considere duas garrafas contendo água mineral, proveniente de mesma fonte e à mesma temperatura, gaseificada artificialmente com gás carbônico, CO2. Uma dessas garrafas foi aberta em Aracaju (SE), cidade localizada no nível do mar, e a outra foi aberta em Ouro Preto (MG), cidade localizada em região serrana. Indique se a concentração de CO2 dissolvido na água da garrafa aberta em Aracaju é maior, menor ou igual à concentração desse gás na água da garrafa aberta em Ouro Preto. Justifique sua resposta.
