The area of Pluto is 44,828 mi2 . If a mole of 0.50 mm cubic particles were evenly spread over Pluto, how deep, in meters, would the particles be?

A proton flies horizontally towards a positively charged wall. It approaches the wall at a perfect zero degree angle and rebounds at the exact same speed in the opposite direction. Naturally the proton will never touch the wall. Apparently the kinetic energy in is conserved and the momentum is not, but how is that possible?
can you a) show me how this works algebraically and b) explain what is responsible for this?

On a distant planet, golf is just as popular as it is on earth. A golfer tees off and drives the ball 2.7 times as far as he would have on earth, given the same initial velocities on both planets. The ball is launched at a speed of 41 m/s at an angle of 36° above the horizontal. When the ball lands, it is at the same level as the tee.
(a) On the distant planet, what is the maximum height of the ball?
(b) On the distant planet, what is the range of the ball?

B. Patterns of polarity in the seafloor
C. The thickness of sediments and the age of fossils in the seafloor
D. How this data supports the idea of seafloor spreading

What is the moment of inertia of an object that rolls without slipping down a 2.42 m-high incline starting from rest, and has a final velocity of 6.56 m/s? Express the moment of inertia as a multiple of MR^2, where M is the mass of the object and R is its radius.

A 2.90-kg hoop 1.50 m in diameter is rolling to the right without slipping on a horizontal floor at a steady 2.50 rad/s .
Part A
How fast is its center moving?
Express your answer with the appropriate units.
Part B
What is the total kinetic energy of the hoop?
Part C
Find the magnitude of the velocity vector of each of the following points, as viewed by a person at rest on the ground: (i) the highest point on the hoop; (ii) the lowest point on the hoop, (iii) a point on the right side of the hoop, midway between the top and the bottom.
Find the magnitude of the velocity vector for each of the points in part C, except as viewed by someone moving along with same velocity as the hoop.

Question 2 - 1,500 words
The Senior Partner of the firm you work for has
appointed you to a new role. It is now your responsibility to
review upcoming accounting standards and provide a report to the
partners on the proposed standard and the opinions of other
industry players on the changes.
Firstly, you are required to find a current
exposure draft or proposal for a new accounting standard which has
been opened for public comments. (These can be found on the
websites of most standard-setting organisations, such as the IASB,
AASB and FASB. Hint: These websites can be quite difficult to
navigate, so as a first step try typing “IASB exposure draft and
comment letters”/”FASB exposure draft and comment letters” into
Google or other search engine of your choice). Read a sample of the
comments from a range of respondents. Select four respondents,
ideally from different types of organisations for example, from
accounting bodies, industry, companies or corporate bodies. If
you are having a problem finding suitable comments letters then
contact your subject coordinator.
In your own words, supporting your evaluation with
appropriate citations, appropriately referenced in APA 6 style, you
are required to include the following information in the
report.
An outline of the major issues covered in the exposure
draft (what is the exposure draft introducing or
changing?).
An assessment as to whether (or not) the behaviour of
the regulator in introducing the exposure draft can be explained by
public interest theory.
An outline of the views presented in the comments
letters which highlights the areas of agreement and disagreement
with the exposure draft.
An application of each of the
theories of regulation (public interest, private interest and
capture) to the comments letters and a justification as to which
theory(ies) best explains the comments.
Please note: you need to attach the comment letters
you selected for your report (there is no need to attach the
exposure draft)

Billy’s Bakery bakes fresh bagels each morning. The daily demand for bagels is a random variable
with a distribution estimated from prior experience given by
|
# of Bagels Sold |
Probability |
| 0 | 0.05 |
| 5 | 0.10 |
| 10 | 0.10 |
| 15 | 0.20 |
| 20 | 0.25 |
| 25 | 0.15 |
| 30 | 0.10 |
| 35 | 0.05 |
The bagels cost Billy’s $0.08 to make, and they are sold for $0.35 each. Bagels unsold at the end
of the day are purchased by a nearby charity soup kitchen for $0.03 each.
a) Simulate the discrete distribution for demand for 100 days, and compare the expected daily profit of Q = 25 and Q = 27.
b) Repeat part a) using a normal distribution with m = 18 and s = 8.86 for demand.
Submit a brief description of how you set up your simulations. This description must explain how you generated the random demands and any formulas that you used.
