A. Refraction
This is because refraction occurs when a beam of light passes from one material into another material.
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:
i. Magnetic fields
ii. All 4 planets in appearance have deeper atmospheres and darker cloud.
iii. All the 4 Jovian planets rotates very quickly, with a range of 10 to 17 hours.
Explanation:
The Jovian planets is different from terrestrial planets in so many ways. The Jovian planets includes Jupiter , Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.
The major similarities shared by all of these 4 planets includes
i. Magnetic fields: Each of this Jovian planets have a strong magnetic field and are generated by electric currents in its rapidly sniping interior. The magnetosphere which is the region at which the planet magnetic field dominates is far more stronger in Jupiter than other Jovian planets . Although the magnetic field of Saturn , Neptune and Uranus works in similar way to Jupiter but are less stronger.
ii. All 4 planets in appearance have deeper atmospheres and darker cloud. The uppermost clouds of Jupiter and Saturn has more of ammonia crystals .The upper cloud of Neptune is composed of methane, The cloud of Uranus is deep.
iii. All the 4 Jovian planets rotates very quickly, with a range of 10 to 17 hours. The rotation period of Jupiter is the shortest among the Jovian planets which is around 9 hours 55 minutes. The rotation period of Neptune and Uranus take longer time than the other 2 Jovian planets( a little above 17 hours).
Answer:
C
Explanation:
Glaciers break rocks because of the thawing and icing of water in rock crevices. These rocks get carried in the glacier. The glaciers move because the base of the glaciers melts ever so slightly due to the weight of the glacier above (pressure reduces the melting point of ice). This smoothens the slipping of the glaciers . When the glaciers get to a warmer place, it melts and the rocks in it are deposited.
Answer:
P = 7.28 N.s
Explanation:
given,
initial momentum of cue ball in x- direction,P₁ = 9 N.s
momentum of nine ball in x- direction, P₂ = 2 N.s
momentum in perpendicular direction i.e. y - direction,P'₂ = 2 N.s
momentum of the cue after collision = ?
using conservation of momentum
in x- direction
P₁ + p = x + P₂
p is the initial momentum of the nine balls which is equal to zero.
9 + 0 = x + 2
x = 7 N.s
momentum in x-direction.
equating along y-direction
P'₁ + p = y + P'₂
0 + 0 = y + 2
y = -2 N.s
the momentum of the cue ball after collision is equal to resultant of the momentum .
P = 7.28 N.s
the momentum of the cue ball after collision is equal to P = 7.28 N.s
