a) By examining the effective potential energy (8.32) find the radius at which a planet (or comet) with angular momentum can orbit the sun in a circular orbit with fixed radius. [Look at dUeff I dr 1 (b) Show that this circular orbit is stable, in the sense that a small radial nudge will cause only s

Selena pays a storekeeper $1 for a quart of milk. b. Stuart earns $4.50 per hour working at a fastfood restaurant. c. Shanna

The Practice of Statistics 5
An investor is comparing two stocks, A and B. She wants to know if over the long run, there is a significant difference in the return on investment as measured by the percent increase or decrease in the price of the stock from its date of purchase. The investor takes a random sample of 50 annualized
