Answer:

The new speed is 56.25 miles/hour.

Explanation:

Since speed = distance/time;

time = distance/speed.

While driving at 50 miles/hour, time taken for one to complete 1 mile is (1/50) hour

(1/50) hour = (1/50) × 3600s = 72 seconds.

So, if this time to complete 1 mile (72 seconds) is reduced by 8 seconds,

New time to complete 1 mile will be = 72 - 8 = 64 seconds = (64/3600) hour = 0.0178 hour

New speed would be = (1 mile/64 seconds) = (1 mile/0.0178 hour) = 56.25 miles/hour.

Hope this Helps!!!

In September 2016 you purchased a 125 shares of Grainger stock for $224.84. It is now September 2019 and Grainger stock is curre
Temka [501]

Answer:

Gain in capital = $ 70.72

Explanation:

Given:

- The price of stocks when purchased P_o = $ 224.84

- The price of stocks when sold P_s = $ 295.56

Find:

what would be your capital gain (loss) on the sale, ignoring commissions

Solution:

- The capital gain or loss on the selling of stocks stems from the difference of buying and selling value of stocks. The original price of stock was P_o and the selling price would be P_s. The difference would be:

                             capital gain = P_s - P_o

                             capital gain =  $295.56 - $224.84

                             capital gain = $ 70.72

- Hence, there would be a gain in capital if sold today for about $ 70.72.

QUESTION: A study group of students is reviewing claims in an article that gamma rays are among the most dangerous type of elect
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

B

Bias is an inclination towards one way of thinking due to inherent factors in our environment, such as how one was brought up.

Explanation:

In science, biases, conscious or unconscious, tend to make experiments’ results to incline in particular way rather than being impartial. Peer- review of scientific journals by the scientific community is meant to be a quality assurance measure to detect such biases. The students should check reviews of the scientific community on the article and see if any biases have been pointed out.  Probably the institution that the scientist works for is in competition with another institution that deals with gamma rays.
