Economics 500 – Problem Set #3 Consider a firm producing an output Q using the two inputs “labor” (L) and “capital” (K) according to the production function Q = K.5L.5 (i.e.‚ the amount of output produced Q is equal to the square root of K times the square root of L). Suppose that the firm is in a short-run situation in which K is fixed at one unit (K = 1) but labor is variable. Suppose that the user cost of capital‚ r‚ is $48 for each unit of K and that the wage rate‚ w‚ the cost of one unit

500 kg car travelling at 50 m/s. Given: Formula: m = 500 kg KE = mv2/2 v = 50 m/s Solution: KE = 500 kg x (50 m/s)2 / 2 KE = 625 000 J Power 3. Riley climbs a flight of stairs in 3 minutes. If he weighs 700 N and the stairs is 20 m from the ground‚ how much power will she develop? Given: Formula: t = 3 mins = 180 s P = Wd/t W = 700 N d = 20 m Solution: P = 700 N x 20 m / 180 s P = 77.8 J/s 4. How much power is developed by a car that runs 80 m/s when

GENERAL BIOCHEMISTRY Problem Set No. 1 Answered by: Andrea Rose A. Fajardo of BSFT 2-1N 1. Calculate the pH of a dilute solution that contains a molar ratio of potassium acetate to acetic acid (pKa=4.76) of: a. 2:1 pH = 4.76 + log[2]/[1] = 4.76 + 0.3010 = 5.06 b. 1:4 pH = 4.76 + log[1]/[4] = 4.76 + (-0.6021) = 4.16 c. 6:5 pH = 4.76 + log[6]/[5] = 4.76 + 0.0792
