Chapter 2, Problem 8P
An amount of money P is invested in an account where interest is compounded at the end of the period. The future worth F yielded at an interest rate i after n periods may be determined from the following formula:
Write a program that will calculate the future worth of an investment for each year from 1 through n. The input to the function should include the initial investment P, the interest rate i (as a decimal), and the number of years n for which the future worth is to be calculated. The output should consist of a table with headings and columns for n and F. Run the program for

For Questions 3 and 4: A cup of water was heated to a
temperature of 90°. It was placed in a refrigerator that had a
temperature of 11°C. The water cooled to a temperature of
17°C in 30 minutes. Let the following variables represent
the relevant quantities.
L = Temperature of the liquid
S= Temperature of the surroundings
t = Time
B = Initial temperature of the liquid (Temperature at t = 0
k = Cooling constant
3. Using the Equation Solver, find the value of k in the
equation L = (B - S)e -kt + S. Remember to set the
equation equal to zero and then enter it into the Solver.
You own a wheat warehouse with a capacity of 20,000bushels. At the beginning of month 1, you have 6,000 bushels of wheat. Each month, wheat can be bought and sold at theprice per 1000 bushels given in Table 46.The sequence of events during each month is as follows:a You observe your initial stock of wheat.b You can sell any amount of wheat up to your initialstock at the current month’s selling price.c You can buy (at the current month’s buying price) asmuch wheat as you want, subject to the warehouse sizelimitation.Your goal is to formulate an LP that can be used to determine how to maximize the profit earned over the next 10months
Posted below is a picture of a data table and a diagram of an experiment. In the experiment you rolled a marble down a ruler ramp off the end of a coffee table to observe projectiles and conservation of energy. You do 3 trials for each initial height. Each height is measured in meters.
h= initial height of marble off of table
Y= height of table off floor
X= horizontal distance marble goes from edge of table to where it strikes the floor
a) use the table to find information you need to solve for theoretical range and % of error in measured range.

- Q1. The image below shows an example of "absolute dependent motion analysis", where the motions of two objects depend on each other, and the goal is to find the relations in their motions (i.e., in their positions, velocities, and accelerations). Please put the suggested steps of analysis in the correct order. VA A B VB Differentiate the entire equation with respect to time, and extract the relation in velocities. Repeat for acceleration if needed. Set up a coordinate (s) along the direction of motion from a fixed point (O) or a fixed datum line. Represent the positions of the objects respectively. In some cases intermediate objects need to be considered too and their positions need to be represented as well. Recognize the constant length(s) and find the depending geometric relations between the position variables.arrow_forwardA company finds that if they price their product at $ 65, they can sell 690 items of it.

- Q1. 1) The missile at point A takes off from rest and rises vertically to point B after 6.7 seconds, where its fuel runs out. During this time the acceleration of the missile is a = (C.t) m/s², where C = 3.4 is a constant and tis time in s. (Hint, this expression of acceleration already takes into consideration of gravity.) Then by internal controls the missile tilts to an angle = 40° as shown, while keeping the speed, vg, it has attained, and from there it travels in free flight until it lands on the ground at point D.

- Please provide equations that you are using so I can follow along and learn how to do this and include conversions and units. In Jamestown, NY, a coal power plan consumes coal at a rate of 80 tons/hr. When coal burns, it generates approximately 30,000 kJ for every kg of coal burned. The cooling course for the plant is the nearby Chadakoin River nearby and, by code, the power plant cannot reject more than 13.19 x 109 MJ into the river annually. Determine the maximum average power output of this plant and it's maximum thermal efficiency.
