A horizontal spring with a spring constant of 190 N/cm is compressed 6.3 cm. A wooden block with a mass of 1.5 kg is placed in front of and in contact with the spring. When the spring is released it pushes the block, which slides on a frictionless horizontal surface for some distance. The block then slides up a frictionless incline of 27 above the horizontal and comes to a momentary stop before sliding back down. The system is the spring, the block, the incline, and the Earth. Ignore air resistance. A) Sketch the situation and label all variables for: i. the spring and block before the spring is released ii. the block sliding on the horizontal surface iii. the block sliding up the incline B) List all known quantities. C) Draw the free body diagram for the block sliding up the incline. D) What is the potential energy of the spring before it is released? E) What is the kinetic energy and the speed of the block as it slides on the horizontal surface after the spring has pushed it? F) At what height does the block stop on the incline? G) If the incline were rough, how would the stopping height of the block compare to the stopping height when the incline is frictionless? Explain using energy.

HCN(aq) --> H+(aq) + CN(aq) K = 6.2×10–10 .

a) Compute ΔG° at 25°C.

b) If 0.120 mol of HCN is dissolved to make 200. mL of solution, then what are the equilibrium concentrations of all of the species?

c) Suppose 0.040 mol of HCN is dissolved in the same solution without appreciably increasing the volume. Compute the derivative dG/dξ for the system before it has a chance to re-establish equilibrium. Use this result to predict the spontaneous direction of reaction. (Justify the answer.)

d) Based on Le Chatelier's principle, which is the spontaneous direction of reaction after addition of the HCN? Explain qualitatively.

*Can you explain the results and consumption stream also?*

1.The difference between a Roth IRA and a traditional IRA is that in a Roth IRA taxes are paid on the income that is contributed but the withdrawals at retirement are tax-free. In a traditional IRA, however, the contributions reduce your taxable income, but the withdrawals at retirement are taxable. Assume you plan to devote $5,000 to retirement savings in each year. You will retire in 30 years and expect to live for an additional 20 years after retirement.

a. Assume the before-tax interest rate is 5%. What will be your after-tax 20-year retirement consumption stream if you choose to save in a traditional IRA? Assume your tax rate is fixed at 30%.

b. What will be your 20-year retirement consumption stream if you choose to save in a Roth IRA?

Section 179. (Obj. 2) Sand Corporation buys one asset in 2018---machinery costing $32,300,000. The machine was placed in service on June 2, 2018. Sand wants to elect the maximum Section 179 possible, even if some must be carried over to 2019. Sand's 2018 business income limitation (taxable income before Section 179 expense, but after all other expenses, including depreciation) is $167,000. A) Compute the maximum Section 179 Sand can elect to expense in 2018, the actual allowed 2018 expense deduction, and the Section 179 carryover to 2019. B) What is the regular depreciation deduction on the machine (7-year property; half-year convention) after taking into account the maximum section 179 deduction and assuming no bonus depreciation is clamied?
