Two minor league baseball players got a total of 366 hits. Washington had 12 more hits than Sanchez. Find the number of hits for each player. Washington had 195 hits. Sanchez had 171 hits.

Let x be the number of hits Sanchez had so that Washington had x+12 hits. Since they got a total of 366 hits, we can write:
(x+12)+x=366
Solve for x:
2x+12=366
Subtract 12 from both sides:
2x=354
Divide both sides by 2:
x=177
Using this value of x, Washington had 189 hits and Sanchez had 177 hits.

Five distinct numbers are randomly distributed to players numbered 1 through 5. Whenever two players compare their numbers, the one with the higher one is declared the winner. Initially, players 1 and 2 compare their numbers; the winner then compares with player 3, and so on. Let X denoted the number of times player 1 is a winner. Find P{X = i}, i = 0,1,2,3,4.
A baseball league has 192 players and 12 teams, with an equal number of players on each team. If the number of teams were reduced by four but the total number of players stays the same, there would be blank players per team.
A person accidentally leaves a car with the lights on. If eachof the two headlights uses 43 W andeach of the two taillights 7.0 W,for a total of 1.0E2 W, how longwill a fresh 12-V battery last if it is rated at 8.0E1 A·h?
Assume the full 12 V appears across each bulb.
Sara's Softball team can be divided into four groups. 1/2 ofthe players are stronge hitters. 1/4 are good pitchers, 1/8 like toplay the outfield and 2 players are catchers. If each player is inonly one group how many players are on the team and in each group?
A 1300-kg car coasts on a horizontal road, with a speed of18m/s. After crossing an unpaved sandy stretch of road 30.0 mlong, its speed decreases to 15m/s. If the sandy portion ofthe road had been only 15.0 m long, would the car's speed havedecreasedby 1.5 m/s, more than 1.5 m/s, or less than 1.5m/s?Explain. Calculate the change in speed in that case.
Eric borrowed a total of $4000 from two student loans. One loan charged 5% simple interest and the other charged 4.5% simple interest, both payable after graduation. If the interest he owed after 3 years was$547.50, determine the amount of principal for each loan.
The unstable nucleus uranium-236 can be regarded as auniformly charged sphere of charge Q=+92e and radius $$\displaystyle{R}={7.4}\times{10}^{{-{15}}}$$ m. In nuclear fission, this can divide into twosmaller nuclei, each of 1/2 the charge and 1/2 the voume of theoriginal uranium-236 nucleus. This is one of the reactionsthat occurred n the nuclear weapon that exploded over Hiroshima, Japan in August 1945.
A. Find the radii of the two "daughter" nuclei of charge+46e.
B. In a simple model for the fission process, immediatelyafter the uranium-236 nucleus has undergone fission the "daughter"nuclei are at rest and just touching. Calculate the kineticenergy that each of the "daughter" nuclei will have when they arevery far apart.
C. In this model the sum of the kinetic energies of the two"daughter" nuclei is the energy released by the fission of oneuranium-236 nucleus. Calculate the energy released by thefission of 10.0 kg of uranium-236. The atomic mass ofuranium-236 is 236 u, where 1 u = 1 atomic mass unit $$\displaystyle={1.66}\times{10}^{{-{27}}}$$ kg. Express your answer both in joules and in kilotonsof TNT (1 kiloton of TNT releases 4.18 x 10^12 J when itexplodes).
We will now add support for register-memory ALU operations to the classic five-stage RISC pipeline. To offset this increase in complexity, all memory addressing will be restricted to register indirect (i.e., all addresses are simply a value held in a register; no offset or displacement may be added to the register value). For example, the register-memory instruction add x4, x5, (x1) means add the contents of register x5 to the contents of the memory location with address equal to the value in register x1 and put the sum in register x4. Register-register ALU operations are unchanged. The following items apply to the integer RISC pipeline:
a. List a rearranged order of the five traditional stages of the RISC pipeline that will support register-memory operations implemented exclusively by register indirect addressing.
b. Describe what new forwarding paths are needed for the rearranged pipeline by stating the source, destination, and information transferred on each needed new path.
c. For the reordered stages of the RISC pipeline, what new data hazards are created by this addressing mode? Give an instruction sequence illustrating each new hazard.
d. List all of the ways that the RISC pipeline with register-memory ALU operations can have a different instruction count for a given program than the original RISC pipeline. Give a pair of specific instruction sequences, one for the original pipeline and one for the rearranged pipeline, to illustrate each way.
Hint for (d): Give a pair of instruction sequences where the RISC pipeline has “more” instructions than the reg-mem architecture. Also give a pair of instruction sequences where the RISC pipeline has “fewer” instructions than the reg-mem architecture.
