The first statement is true, because the US worker can produce 10 more caps in the same amount of time as the French worker, the US has a comparative advantage when making caps.

Explanation :

It is considered that a US worker can produce 50 caps per hour or 1 sweater per hour and a French worker can produce 40 caps per hour and 2 sweaters per hour.

In one hour, A US worker can produce either 50 caps or 1 sweater.

While in one hour a French worker can produce 40 caps and 2 sweaters.

In this case, the efficiency and production rate is not given. So, we can't compare this scenario.

Hence, the correct option is (c) " Neither country has a comparative advantage producing either good ".

A particle is located on the x axis at x = 2.0 m from the origin. A force of 25 N, directed 30° above the x axis in the x-y plan
nata0808 [166]

Answer:

25 Nm

Explanation:

Parameters given

Distance of the particle from the origin, r = 2.0 m

Force acting on particle, F = 25 N

Angle of force, θ = 30°

The torque acting on a particle is given as:

τ = r * F * sinθ

Where r = radius of axis of rotation. This is the same as the position of the particle on the x axis.

Therefore, the torque will be:

τ = 2 * 25 * sin30

τ = 25 Nm

The torque acting on the particle is 25 Nm.

A certain force gives object m1 an acceleration of 12.0 m/s2. The same force gives object m2 an acceleration of 3.30 m/s2. What
zhenek [66]

Answer:

a)   a = 4,552 m / s²,   b)  a = 2,588 m / s²

Explanation:

Newton's second law is

          F = ma

          a = F / m

in this case the force remains constant

indicate us

* for a mass m₁

       a₁ = F/m₁

       a₁ = 12, m/ s²

* for a mass m₂

        a₂= 3.3 m / s²

a) acceleration

       m = m₂-m₁

we substitute

        a = \frac{F}{m_2 - m_1}

        1 / a = \frac{m_2}{F}  -  \frac{m_1}{F}

let's calculate

        \frac{1}{a} = \frac{1}{3.3} - \frac{1}{12}

         \frac{1}{a} = 0.21969

         a = 4,552 m / s²

b)   m = m₂ + m₁

     a = F / (m₂ + m₁)

     \frac{1}{a}  =  \frac{m_2}{F} + \frac{m_1}{F}

we substitute

           \frac{1}{a} = \frac{1}{3.3} + \frac{1}{12}

           a = 2,588 m / s²

Why is the more cumbersome Two's complement representation preferred instead of the more intuitive sign bit magnitude approach?
Troyanec [42]

Explanation:

The two's-complement mechanism has the benefit that it does not require the addition and subtraction circuitry to investigate the operands ' signs to evaluate either to add or subtract. This property makes the whole thing both easier to accomplish and able to handle arithmetic of higher accuracy with ease. Also Zero has only one interpretation, bypassing the subtle nuances associated with negative one that arise in the complement-systems of ones.

Calculate the amount of energy produced in a nuclear reaction in which the mass defect is 0.187456 amu.
luda_lava [24]
For nuclear reactions, we determine the energy dissipated from the process from the Theory of relativity wherein energy is equal to the mass defect times the speed of light. We calculate as follows:

E = mc^2 = 0.187456 (3x10^8)^2 = 1.687x10^16 J

Hope this answers the question.
