Four of your friends are planning a morning of boating on the Big Blue River. Two of them plan to start at the Rocky Ford Campground at 9:00 AM and drift down the river with the current in kayaks. The other two plan to start at the parking lot near the US-24 bridge, at the same time as the first pair, and travel upstream in a square-stern canoe with an outboard motor. You own a pickup truck with a high wheelbase, and you are friendly with all the farmers and property owners in the area, so they ask you to pick up them and their boats at the time and place where they will meet. You agree.

You research this section of the Big Blue River and find the following conditions that morning:

Depth: 12.8 feet

Average width: 200 feet

Flow: 13800 ft3/s

Water speed: 8.1 ft/s = 5.5 miles/hr

Water temperature: 78.5 degF

You check a map and find that distance between Rocky Ford Campground and the US-24 bridge parking lot is 4 miles “as the crow flies,” or 8 miles along the river. Your friends with the square-stern canoe say it can travel 2 miles on a still lake in 15 minutes.

(1) At what time should you pick up your friends?

(2) Where should you pick up your friends? (Express this answer in terms of distance downstream from Rocky Ford or upstream from US-24.)

Preston Concrete is a major supplier of concrete to residential and commercial builders in the Pacific Northwest. The company's general pricing policy is to set prices at $128 per cubic yard. Deliveries for 2019 were 380,000 cubic yards, and total costs were:

$4,218,000 of the estimated total yard operation costs were variable, and all of the administrative costs were fixed. In addition to the costs above, estimated fixed delivery costs were $190,000 for the year, and estimated variable delivery costs were $6.00 per mile and $42.50 per truck hour. The rate per mile reflects the fact that more miles result in more gas, oil, and maintenance. The rate per truck hour reflects the fact that trucks that are waiting at a jobsite are kept running (so the concrete mix won't solidify), and drivers continue to get paid during that time.

Near the end of 2019, Fairview Construction Company asked for a delivery of 4,600 cubic yards of concrete but was unwilling to pay the regular price; it was only willing to pay $82 per cubic yard. Preston estimated that the job would require 7,200 miles of driving and 290 truck hours. The housing market in the Pacific Northwest had slowed during recent months, leaving Preston with enough capacity to fill the order, but its sales manager was reluctant to commit to such a reduced price.

REQUIRED

If Preston accepted the offer, what would the profit or loss be (enter a loss as a negative number)?

the 19^th of April 2009, the Venezuelan Lechuza Carakas Polo team was due to appear in the semi-final of the US Open Polo Championship in Florida. The horses of the team were kept at the Lechuza Caracas equestrian facility near the polo grounds in Wellington, about 70 miles north of Miami. When the horses were offloaded from trailers at the polo club in the afternoon, staff discovered that some animals had died and the others were showing severe respiratory problems, incoordination and recumbency.

Even though veterinarians attending the polo event immediately rushed to provide emergency treatment to the animals, 20 of the 21 horses eventually died just prior to the event, during transport to the event, or soon after unloading at the event. One horse that had developed clinical signs was transported to a veterinary clinic but died later that evening.

Investigating the cause of death of the horses

1. investigations confirmed that only the horses from the Venezuelan team were affected and no other horses at the equestrian facility or event premises showed any clinical signs. Clinical signs observed in the affected horses included severe central nervous system symptoms, with hyperexcitability, sweating, tachycardia, dyspnea, fever and sudden death. In the morning of the day of the polo event, the horses were seemingly healthy.

If you had to lead the investigation into the death of these animals, what information would you try to gather or what type of tests would you conduct? What would you speculate could have happened

1 What do newborns come with that allows them to form attachments to their caregivers?

Given: Sodium Carbonate (Volume=2.00 L Mass of Chemical 3.947 g Temperature in Celcius 750 Pressure 1565.6 Torr) Aluminum Carbonate (Volume=1.50 L Mass of Chemical 2.123 g Temperature in Celcius 2200 Pressure 2134.3 Torr)

1. Write balanced equations for the composition of: Na2CO3(s) and Al2(CO3)3

2. Sample calculations for the number of moles og gas "n" produced in the decomposition of the compounds

3. Calculate Averaged Ideal Gas Constant.

Below are my calculations, I know they are incorrect because they are nowhere near the literary Idean Gas Constant which is 0.08206 atm-L/mol-K

2. Na2CO3 (s) --> Na2O(s) + CO2(g) MM= 105.99 (3.947 g Na2CO3 / 105.99g/mol Na2CO3) * (I mole Na2CO3 / 1 mole gas)= 0.037239 mol gas

Al2(CO3)3(s) --> Al2O3(s) + 3CO2(g) MM= 233.99 (2.123 g Al2(CO3)3 / 233.99 g/mol Al2(CO3)3) *(1 mole Al2(CO3)3 / 3 mole gas)= 0.0030243 mol gas

3. R= PV/nT

Na2CO3 R = (1565.6 Torr * 1atm/760 Torr)(2.00 L) / (0.037239 moles)(750+273.15= 1023.15 K)

Al2(CO3)3 R = (2134.3 Torr * 1 atm/760 atm)(2.00 L) / (0.0030243)(2200 + 273.15= 2473.15 K)

I'm not sure what I am doing wrong. Thank you in advance!

1. Donald Trump promised a more aggressive fiscal policy with a large increase in spending and significant tax cuts leading to a much larger government (budget) deficit.
