A top-loading washing machine has a cylindrical drum that rotates about a vertical axis. The drum of one such machine starts from rest and reaches an angular speed of 6.0 rev/s in 12.0 s. The lid of the machine is then opened, which turns off the machine, and the drum slows to rest in 11.0 s. Through how many revolutions does the drum turn during this 23 s interval? Assume constant angular acceleration while it is starting and stopping.

b.What are the disadvantages of recursive descent?

Hand-to-Mouth (H2M) is currently cash-constrained, and must make a decision about whether to delay paying one of its suppliers, or take out a loan. They owe the supplier $ 11,500 with terms of 1.8/10 Net 40, so the supplier will give them a 1.8 % discount if they pay by today (when the discount period expires). Alternatively, they can pay the full $ 11,500 in one month when the invoice is due. H2M is considering three options:
Alternative A: Forgo the discount on its trade credit agreement, wait and pay the full $ 11,500 in one month.
Alternative B: Borrow the money needed to pay its supplier today from Bank A, which has offered a one-month loan at an APR of 11.6 %. The bank will require a (no-interest) compensating balance of 5.3 % of the face value of the loan and will charge a $ 95 loan origination fee. Because H2M has no cash, it will need to borrow the funds to cover these additional amounts as well.
Alternative C: Borrow the money needed to pay its supplier today from Bank B, which has offered a one-month loan at an APR of 14.8 %. The loan has a 0.5 % loan origination fee, which again H2M will need to borrow to cover.

The company estimates that it can issue debt at a rate of rd= 10%, and its tax rate is 30%. It can issue preferred stock that pays a constant dividend of $6 per year at $58 per share. Also, its common stock currently sells for $32 per share; the next expected dividend, D1, is $3.25; and the dividend is expected to grow at a constant rate of 6% per year. The target capital structure consists of 75% common stock, 15% debt, and 10% preferred stock. The data has been collected in the Microsoft Excel Online file below. Open the spreadsheet and perform the required analysis to answer the questions below.

Car class Question
Design a class named car that has the following fields: YearModel: The yearModel field is an integer that holds the car's year model. Make: The make field references a string that holds the make of the car. Speed: The speed field is an integer that holds the car's current speed. In addition, the class should have the following constructor and other methods: Constructor: The constructor should accept the. car's year model and make as arguments. The values should be assigned to the object's yearModel and make fields. The constructor should also assign 0 to the speed field. Accessors: Design appropriate accessor methods to get the values stored in an object's yearModel, make, and speed fields. Accelerate: The accelerate method should add 5 to the speed field each time it is called. Brake: The brake method should subtract 5 from the speed field each time it is called. Next, design a program that creates a car object, and then cals the accelerate method fibe times. After each call to the accelerate method, get the current speed of the car and display it. Then call the brake method 5 times. After each call to the brake method, get the current speed of the car and display it..........

Write a Java program to convert octal (integer) numbers into their decimal number equivalents (exactly the opposite of what you have done in Assignment 4). Make sure that you create a new Project and Java class file for this assignment. Your file should be named “Main.java”. You can read about octal-to-decimal number conversions on wikepedia
Assignment 4 is at the bottom
Objective
Your program should prompt the user to enter a number of no greater than 8 digits. If the user enters a number greater than 8 digits or a value less than 0, it should re-prompt the user to enter a number again*. You do not need to check if the digits are valid octal numbers (0-7), as this is guaranteed.
Instructions
main(){
int oct = user input;
conversion(oct);
}
void conversion(int o){
// logic goes here.
print(decimal);
}
Goals

Sample Program Run (user input is underlined)

else

int weight=0; // weight of the digit, used for converting to octal

int temp = inputNum;
int digit;
// loop that continues till we convert the entire number to octal
while(temp > 0)
