You plan to take a trip to the moon. Since you do not have a traditional spaceship with rockets, you will need to leave the earth with enough speed to make it to the moon. Some information that will help during this problem:
mearth = 5.9742 x 1024 kg
rearth = 6.3781 x 106 m
mmoon = 7.36 x 1022 kg
rmoon = 1.7374 x 106 m
dearth to moon = 3.844 x 108 m (center to
center)
G = 6.67428 x 10-11 N-m2/kg2
1)
On your first attempt you leave the surface of the earth at v = 5534 m/s. How far from the center of the earth will you get?
2)
Since that is not far enough, you consult a friend who calculates (correctly) the minimum speed needed as vmin = 11068 m/s. If you leave the surface of the earth at this speed, how fast will you be moving at the surface of the moon? Hint carefully write out an expression for the potential and kinetic energy of the ship on the surface of earth, and on the surface of moon. Be sure to include the gravitational potential energy of the earth even when the ship is at the surface of the moon!

The apparatus below contains ammonia, neon, and hydrogen
chloride gases at a temperature
of 27ºC. The valve in the center is opened and the ammonia reacts
with the hydrogen chloride:
NH3(g) + HCl(g) → NH4Cl(s)
Neon does not react.
a) What mass of ammonium chloride will be formed?
b) What will be the total pressure in the apparatus after the
reaction is complete,
assuming the temperature remains constant?
|volume = 635 mL valve
NH3 pressure = 0.875 atm
Ne pressure = 0.893 atmvolume = 429 mL
HCl pressure =

The recent tariff increases have affected the American economy and have driven supply chains to make quick changes as they scramble to help offset the added costs of importing goods... mainly how these tariffs affect Americans in LUMBER AND STEEL industries.
I need an answer for both industries:
Q1: If I were a major Steel business owner/ producer, why would I care how these tariffs are affecting Supply Chains? (250 words)
Q2: If I were a major Lumber business owner/ producer, why would I care how these tariffs are affecting Supply Chains? (250 words)
Please answer the question to the point. Thank you

you are evaluating an investment that requires $2,000 upfront and pays $500 at the end of each of the first 2 years and an additional lump sum of $1000 at the end of year 2. What would happen to the IRR if the annual payment at the end of the first year go down from $500 to $300 and the annual payment at the end of the second year stays at $500?

Blocks A (mass 3.00 kg ) and B (mass 14.00 kg , to the right of A) move on a frictionless, horizontal surface. Initially, block B is moving to the left at 0.500 m/s and block A is moving to the right at 2.00 m/s. The blocks are equipped with ideal spring bumpers. The collision is headon, so all motion before and after it is along a straight line. Let +x be the direction of the initial motion of A.
Part A) Find the maximum energy stored in the spring bumpers.
Part B) Find the velocity of block A when the energy stored in the spring bumpers is maximum
Part C) Find the velocity of block B when the energy stored in the spring bumpers is maximum.
Part D) Find the velocity of block A after the blocks have moved apart.
Part E) Find the velocity of block B after the blocks have moved apart.

BestBuy plans to have an end of the season sale on videogames and High Definition TVs. After a focus group study, their marketing team found that they have four different types of customers, each with their own respective reservation price. The reservation prices are as listed below:
Customer |
TV |
Videogame |
A |
$1000 |
$500 |
B |
$800 |
$450 |
C |
$600 |
$375 |
D |
$500 |
$300 |
For simplicity, assume that the marginal cost for producing any of these products is $0, and there is only one representative customer of each type.
(a) If BestBuy were to sell TV and videogames separately, what price should it set for each product in order to maximize its profit?
(b) BestBuy paid an outside consulting firm about its marketing strategy. The consultant recommended that BestBuy bundle TV and videogame as a package rather than selling them separately. Is the consultant correct? Why or why not? What is the profit of pure bundling? Is it higher or lower compared with the separate selling scenario in (A)? Are customers’ reservation prices of TV and videogames negatively or positively correlated?
(c) Suppose BestBuy has perfect information about the reservation price of each customer. It adopts a first-degree (perfect) price discrimination policy. What prices should it charge to maximize profit? What is the profit under this strategy? Is this higher than the profit in (a) or (b)?

Write a method called "twoStacksAreEqual" that takes as parameters two stacks of integers and returns true if the two stacks are equal and that returns false otherwise. To be considered equal, the two stacks would have to store the same sequence of integer values in the same order. Your method is to examine the two stacks but must return them to their original state before terminating. You may use one stack as auxiliary storage.
