Rubber. The other three are metals, and therefore good conductors.
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:
If the frequency of the motion of a simple harmonic oscillator is doubled , then maximum speed of the oscillator changes by the factor 2
Explanation:
We know that in a simple harmonic oscillator the maximum speed is given by
= 
Here A is amplitude which is constant , so from above equation we see that maximum speed is directly proportional to 
of the oscillation .
Since 
= 2
Where 
is the maximum speed when frequency is doubled .
Answer:
Explanation:
Energy is what makes change happen and can be transferred form one object to another. ... Power is the rate at which energy is transferred. It is not energy but is often confused with energy. The watt is the most commonly used unit of measure for power.
Explanation:
It is given that,
Mass of person, m = 70 kg
Radius of merry go round, r = 2.9 m
The moment of inertia, 
Initial angular velocity of the platform, 
Part A,
Let 
is the angular velocity when the person reaches the edge. We need to find it. It can be calculated using the conservation of angular momentum as :
Here, 
Solving the above equation, we get the value as :
Part B,
The initial rotational kinetic energy is given by :
The final rotational kinetic energy is given by :
Hence, this is the required solution.
