A cue ball traveling at 0.60 m/s hits the stationary 8-ball, which moves off with a speed of 0.20 m/s at an angle of 33° relative to the cue ball's initial direction. Assuming that the balls have equal masses and the collision is inelastic, what will be the speed of the cue ball?

An explosion breaks an object initially at rest into two pieces, one of which has 1.2 times the mass of the other. If 7600 J of kinetic energy were released in the explosion, how much kinetic energy did the heavier piece acquire?

1. A toy manufacturer uses approximately 32,000 silicon chips annually. The chips are used at a steady rate during the 240 days a year that the plant operates. Annual holding cost is $3 per chip, and ordering cost is $120. Determine the following:

a) The optimal order quantity (EOQ)

b) The number of workdays in an order cycle

2. Determine an A-B-C classification for the following items:

Marvel Parts, Inc., manufactures auto accessories. One of the company’s products is a set of seat covers that can be adjusted to fit nearly any small car. The company has a standard cost system in use for all of its products. According to the standards that have been set for the seat covers, the factory should work 1,000 hours each month to produce 2,000 sets of covers. The standard costs associated with this level of production are:

During August, the factory worked only 1,050 direct labor-hours and produced 2,400 sets of covers. The following actual costs were recorded during the month:

At standard, each set of covers should require 3.0 yards of material. All of the materials purchased during the month were used in production.

Required:

1. Compute the materials price and quantity variances for August.

2. Compute the labor rate and efficiency variances for August.

3. Compute the variable overhead rate and efficiency variances for August.

(Indicate the effect of each variance by selecting "F" for favorable, "U" for unfavorable, and "None" for no effect (i.e., zero variance). Input all amounts as positive values.)

Brief Exercise 2-3 T-accounts [LO2-3]

The Marchetti Soup Company entered into the following transactions during the month of June: (1) purchased inventory on account for $170,000 (assume Marchetti uses a perpetual inventory system); (2) paid $45,000 in salaries to employees for work performed during the month; (3) sold merchandise that cost $130,000 to credit customers for $225,000; (4) collected $205,000 in cash from credit customers; and (5) paid suppliers of inventory $150,000.

Post the above transactions to the below T-accounts. Assume that the opening balances in each of the accounts is zero except for cash, accounts receivable, and accounts payable that had opening balances of $67,500, $48,000, and $27,000, respectively. (Enter the transaction number in the column next to the amount.)

I get an error in my code, here is the prompt and code along with the error.

Write a spell checking program (java) which uses a dictionary of words (input by the user as a string) to find misspelled words in a second string, the test string. Your program should prompt the user for the input string and the dictionary string. A valid dictionary string contains an alphabetized list of words.

Functional requirements:

1. For each word in the input string, your program should search the dictionary string for the given word. If the word is not in the dictionary, you program should print the message "Unknown word found" to standard output.
2. After traversing the entire input string, your program should print a message describing the total number of misspelled words in the string.
3. A dictionary string may contain words in uppercase, lowercase, or a mixture of both. The test string may also combine upper and lower case letters. You program should recognize words regardless of case. So if "dog" is in the dictionary string, the word "dOG" should be recognized as a valid word. Similarly, if "CaT" is in the dictionary string, the word "cat" she be recognized as a valid word.
4. Within a string, a word is a white-space delimited string of characters. So the last word in "Hello world!" is "world!".

CODE:

   boolean found = false;
  
   //ieterate over dictionary string array
   for (String a : dict)
   {
       //compare and print message accordingly

Swathmore Clothing Corporation grants its customers 30 days’ credit. The company uses the allowance method for its uncollectible accounts receivable. During the year, a monthly bad debt accrual is made by multiplying 2% times the amount of credit sales for the month.
