6 similar cars are entered in a race. The cars all have an equal chance of winning and there are no ties. Spectators are invited to complete a single prize ticket with their guesses for which cars will finish in first, second, and third place. The spectators who correctly guess the first, second, and third place finishers will get a small prize.

How many different ways can a prize ticket be completed?
What is the probability that a spectator will wins the small prize?
Suppose spectators are allowed to complete 7 different prize tickets. What is the probability that a spectator, with 7 prize tickets, will wins the small prize?

Methanol is the simplest alcohol and it is used as a fuel in race cars and is a potential replacement for gasoline. Methanol can be manufactured by combination of gaseous carbon monoxide and hydrogen – if 68.5 Kg of carbon monoxide are reacted with 8.6 Kg of hydrogen, calculate the theoretical yield of methanol. If 3.57* 104 g of methanol are actually produced, what is the percent yield of methanol?

A car manufacturer recognizes the sale of 40,000 cars in its income statement. All cars have been prepaid but not yet shipped to the customer. Assuming that sale is profitable, the accelerated recognition of this sale as revenue is likely to lead to the distortions in the following ratios: • Net Income higher – no effect – lower • Asset turnover higher – no effect- lower • Debt-to-equity higher – no effect - lower

In the “race” of conceptual problem 5 (and similar to what we did in lab), the uniform cylinder, uniform sphere, and cylindrical hoop race down a 2 meter long ramp tilted 10o to the horizontal. Each object has the same mass (10.0 kg) and radius (10.0 cm). Assume no slippage between the ramp and object and the coefficient of friction = 0.5. Calculate the following: (a) the final velocity of each (b) the center of mass acceleration of each object,...
