Atlantic Megaprojects has a contract to build a tunnel connecting two Atlantic provinces. The tunnel should be completed in three years and requires a total investment of $220,000: $80,000 during the first year and $70,000 during each of the second and third year. If they wish, Atlantic Megaprojects could complete the project in two years by subcontracting part of its work. In this case the required investment would be $115,000 during each of the first and the second year. In...

Two ramps, each with the same shape angle, and height from the base contain two different objects. One ramp has a solid sphere located at the top while the other ramp has a solid cube located at the top. The mass of the sphere is equal to the mass of the cube. The objects are released from the same height. The sphere rolls without slipping, and the cube travels without friction. After leaving the ramp, which object will travel higher?...
