Sean's new car loan statement said he would pay $\text{4,866.25}$ in interest from an interest rate of $\text{8.5%}$ over $5$ years. How much did he borrow to buy his new car?

$11,450 In $5$ years, Gloria's bank account earned $\text{2,400}$ interest at $\text{5%.}$ How much had she deposited in the account?$9,600

In the simple interest    formula, the rate of interest is given as an annual rate, the rate for one year. So the units of time must be in years. If the time is given in months, we convert it to years.

Caroline got $\text{900}$ as graduation gifts and invested it in a $\text{10-month}$ certificate of deposit that earned $\text{2.1%}$ interest. How much interest did this investment earn?

Solution

We are asked to find the interest, $I.$

Organize the given information.

$\begin{array}{ccc}\hfill I& =& ?\hfill \\ \hfill P& =& \text{900}\hfill \\ \hfill r& =& \text{2.1%}\hfill \\ \hfill t& =& \text{10 months}\hfill \end{array}$

 Write the formula. $I=Prt$ Substitute the given information, converting 10 months to $\frac{10}{12}$ of a year. $I=900\left(0.021\right)\left(\frac{10}{12}\right)$ Multiply. $I=15.75$ Check your answer. Is $15.75 a reasonable amount of interest? If Caroline had invested the$900 for a full year at 2% interest, the amount of interest would have been $18. Yes,$15.75 is reasonable. Write a complete sentence that answers the question. The interest earned was $15.75. Adriana invested $\text{4,500}$ for $8$ months in an account that paid $\text{1.9%}$ interest. How much interest did she earn?$57.00

Milton invested $\text{2,460}$ for $20$ months in an account that paid $\text{3.5%}$ interest How much interest did he earn?

What fields keep nano created devices from performing or assimulating ? Magnetic fields ? Are do they assimilate ?
why we need to study biomolecules, molecular biology in nanotechnology?
?
Kyle
yes I'm doing my masters in nanotechnology, we are being studying all these domains as well..
why?
what school?
Kyle
biomolecules are e building blocks of every organics and inorganic materials.

what is fullerene does it is used to make bukky balls
are you nano engineer ?
s.
fullerene is a bucky ball aka Carbon 60 molecule. It was name by the architect Fuller. He design the geodesic dome. it resembles a soccer ball.
Tarell
what is the actual application of fullerenes nowadays?
Damian
That is a great question Damian. best way to answer that question is to Google it. there are hundreds of applications for buck minister fullerenes, from medical to aerospace. you can also find plenty of research papers that will give you great detail on the potential applications of fullerenes.
Tarell
what is the Synthesis, properties,and applications of carbon nano chemistry
Mostly, they use nano carbon for electronics and for materials to be strengthened.

so some one know about replacing silicon atom with phosphorous in semiconductors device?
Yeah, it is a pain to say the least. You basically have to heat the substarte up to around 1000 degrees celcius then pass phosphene gas over top of it, which is explosive and toxic by the way, under very low pressure.

why surface tension is zero at critical temperature
Shanjida
I think if critical temperature denote high temperature then a liquid stats boils that time the water stats to evaporate so some moles of h2o to up and due to high temp the bonding break they have low density so it can be a reason
