Verified questions
engineering
A perceptive engineer started saving for her retirement 15 years ago by diligently saving $18,000 each year through the present time. She invested in a stock fund that averaged a 12% rate of return over that period. If she makes the same annual investment and gets the same rate of return in the future, how long will it be from now (time zero) before she has$1,500,000 in her retirement fund?
chemistry
Does the value of the equilibrium constant depend on the initial concentrations of the reactants and products? Do the equilibrium concentrations of the reactants and products depend on their initial concentrations? Explain.
physics
An $R L$ circuit consists of a resistor $R=68 ~\Omega$, an inductor, $L=31 \mathrm{~mH}$, and an ac generator with an rms voltage of $120 \mathrm{~V}$. At what frequency will the rms current in this circuit be $1.5 \mathrm{~A}$ ?
environmental science
Choose the best answer. Peak demand (a) decreases electricity-generating capacity. (b) is caused by higher electricity prices. (c) occurs equally in all seasons. (d) can be managed using a variable price structure.
