In a downhill ski race, surprisingly, little advantage is gained by getting a running start. (this is because the initial kinetic energy is small compared with the gain in gravitational potential energy on even small hills.) to demonstrate this, find the final speed and the time taken for a skier who skis 70.0 m along a 30o slope neglecting friction: (a) starting from rest. (b) starting with an initial speed of 2.50 m/s. (c) does the answer surprise you

Sodas in a can are supposed to contain an average of 12 ounces. this particular brand has a standard deviation of 0.1 ounces, with an average of 12.1 ounces. if the can's contents follow a normal distribution, what is the probability that the mean contents of a six pack are less than 12 ounces?

Accublade castings inc. casts blades for turbine engines. within the casting department, alloy is first melted in a crucible, then poured into molds to produce the castings. on may 1, there were 230 pounds of alloy in process, which were 60% complete as to conversion. the work in process balance for these 230 pounds was $32,844, determined as follows: exercises during may, the casting department was charged $350,000 for 2,500 pounds of alloy and $19,840 for direct labor. factory overhead is applied to the department at a rate of 150% of direct labor. the department transferred out 2,530 pounds of finished castings to the machining department. the may 31 inventory in process was 44% complete as to conversion. prepare the following may journal entries for the casting department: the materials charged to production the conversion costs charged to production the completed production transferred to the machining department determine the work in process"casting department may 31 balance.
