A car starts from rest and accelerates to a speed of 60 mi/h in 20 s. The acceleration during this period is constant. For the next 20 min, the car moves with a constant speed of 60 mi/h. At this time, the driver applies the brake, and the car decelerates to a full stop in 10s. The variation of the speed of the car with time is shown in the diagram. Determine the total distance traveled by the car, and the average speed of the car over this distance. Show your calculations and results.
One mole of Gold (Au) atom has a mass of 197 g. We know that the density of gold is 19.30 g/cm3 in room temperature. Using those numbers, answer the following questions: a) What is the mass of a single gold atom in kg? b) Assume that gold atoms sit in a perfect cubic crystal structure. Estimate the distance between two gold atoms in meters. c) If we have a gold cube of 6 cm on each side, how many atoms can we fit along the edge of each side of the cube? d) What would be the mass, in kilograms, of the gold cube we discussed in part (c) (measuring 6 cm on each side)?
Which of the following correctly describes the rate of conductive heat transfer for a substance? a. The rate decreases with increased surface area and decreased thickness. b.

58. A retired partner from a large brokerage firm hasone million dollars available to invest in particularstocks or bonds. Each investment’s annual rate ofreturn depends on the state of the economy in thecoming year. The file P09_58.xlsx contains thedistribution of returns for these stocks and bonds asa function of the economy’s state in the coming year.As this file indicates, the returns from stocks andbonds in a fair economy are listed as X and Y. Thisinvestor wants to allocate her one million dollars tomaximize her expected value of the portfolio oneyear from now.a. If X 5 Y 5 15%, find the optimal investment strategy for this investor. (Hint: You could try a decisiontree approach, but it would involve a massive tree.It is much easier to find an algebraic expression forthe expected final value of the investment whena percentage p is put in stocks and the remainingpercentage is put in bonds.)b. For which values of X (where 10% , X , 20%)and Y (where 12.5% , Y , 17.5%), if any,…
