Potential energy is an object’s stored energy when it is not moving. Kinetic energy is an object’s energy in motion. You can’t be both moving and not moving at the same time, so PE and KE cannot be equal.
Question:
The operations manager for a well-drilling company must recommend whether to build a new facility, expand his existing one, or do nothing. He estimates that long-run profits (in $000) will vary with the amount of precipitation (rainfall) as follows:
Alternative Precipitation
Low Normal High
Do nothing -100 100 300
Expand 350 500 200
Build new 750 300 0
If he feels the chances of low, normal, and high precipitation are 30 percent, 20 percent, and 50 percent respectively, What is EVPI (Expected value of Perfect Information)?
A. $140,000
B. $170,000
C. $285,000
D. $305,000
E. $475,000
Answer:
D. $170,000
Explanation:
The expected long run profits are for
Low Normal High
Do nothing -100*0.3 100*0.2 300*0.5 = 140
Expand 350*0.3 500*0.2 200*0.5 = 305
Build new 750*0.3 300*0.2 0*0.5 = 285
Therefore the expected long run profits are
$140,000
$305,000
$285,000
Based on his selected option being either to build new or to expand, the most profitable option is to expand
=$305,000
EVPI = EPPI-EMV =$170,000
Answer:
Winds tend to rotate in a counter clockwise direction in the center of northern and southern hemisphere.
Explanation:
The wind blows clockwise around a high pressure area in the northern hemisphere and the wind blows counter - clockwise around low pressure.
In the northern hemisphere High-pressure systems rotate clockwise direction and in the southern hemisphere low-pressure systems rotate clockwise direction.
Answer: 17.83 AU
Explanation:
According to Kepler’s Third Law of Planetary motion <em>“The square of the orbital period of a planet is proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis (size) of its orbit”. </em>
(1)
Talking in general, this law states a relation between the <u>orbital period</u> 
of a body (moon, planet, satellite, comet) orbiting a greater body in space with the <u>size</u> 
of its orbit.
However, if is measured in <u>years</u>, and is measured in <u>astronomical units</u> (equivalent to the distance between the Sun and the Earth: 
), equation (1) becomes:
(2)
This means that now both sides of the equation are equal.
Knowing 
and isolating from (2):
![a=\sqrt[3]{T^{2}}=T^{2/3}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=a%3D%5Csqrt%5B3%5D%7BT%5E%7B2%7D%7D%3DT%5E%7B2%2F3%7D)

(4)
Finally:
(5)
Answer:
800 mL
Explanation:
D*V=M
You pick out the numbers as well as what it is they represent from the word problem/explanation, then from there plug them in to the equations. Once you do that, you get your product and have the answer.
10*80= 800
