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 jetboat is drifting with a speed of 5.0\,\dfrac{\text m}{\text s}5.0 s m ​ 5, point, 0, start fraction, start text, m, end tex
love history [14]

The question is incomplete. Here is the entire question.

A jetboat is drifting with a speed of 5.0m/s when the driver turns on the motor. The motor runs for 6.0s causing a constant leftward acceleration of magnitude 4.0m/s². What is the displacement of the boat over the 6.0 seconds time interval?

Answer: Δx = - 42m

Explanation: The jetboat is moving with an acceleration during the time interval, so it is a <u>linear</u> <u>motion</u> <u>with</u> <u>constant</u> <u>acceleration</u>.

For this "type" of motion, displacement (Δx) can be determined by:

\Delta x = v_{i}.t + \frac{a}{2}.t^{2}

v_{i} is the initial velocity

a is acceleration and can be positive or negative, according to the referential.

For Referential, let's assume rightward is positive.

Calculating displacement:

\Delta x = 5(6) - \frac{4}{2}.6^{2}

\Delta x = 30 - 2.36

\Delta x = - 42

Displacement of the boat for t=6.0s interval is \Delta x = - 42m, i.e., 42 m to the left.

Use the formula h = −16t2 + v0t. (if an answer does not exist, enter dne.) a ball is thrown straight upward at an initial speed
makkiz [27]
Using the given formula with v0=56 ft/s and h=40 ft 
h = -16t2 + v0t  
40 = -16t2 + 56t 
16t2 - 56t + 40 = 0  
Solving the quadratic equation:  
t= (-b+/-(b^2-4ac)^1/2)/2a = (56+/-((-56)^2-4*16*40)^1/2)/2*16 = (56 +/- 24) / 32 
 We have two possible solutions  
t1 = (56+24)/32 = 2.5 
t2 = (56-24)/32 = 1  
So initially the ball reach a height of 40 ft in 1 second.

Which of the choices describes an action–reaction force pair for a space station containing astronauts in orbit about the earth?
11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

(D) The weight of the space station and the gravitational force of the space station on the earth.

Explanation:

In both A and B , both the forces act in the same direction ( downwards ) , so they can not be action- reaction force .

In the option C , weight of a astronaut can only be reaction force of gravitational force exerted on the earth by astronaut. Both astronaut and the earth pull each other with equal and opposite force.  So option D is correct.

Which statements best describe x-rays? check all that apply. x-rays are electromagnetic waves. x-rays are longitudinal waves. x-
laiz [17]

X ray is one of the electromagnetic waves.

As per Clark Maxwell's electromagnetic theory, all the electromagnetic waves move with the velocity of light i.e c= 3×10^8 m/s

In case of electromagnetic waves,the electric field and magnetic field are perpendicular to each other as well as perpendicular to the direction of propagation.The electromagnetic waves exhibit the property of polarisation. Hence they are transverse in nature.

Hence the best statements about X- ray will be-

1- X -rays are electromagnetic waves

2-X-rays are transverse transverse waves

3- X- rays travel at the speed of light.

A major benefit of the daguerreotype process is that ________.
tigry1 [53]

Daguerreotype is defined as the first practical photographic process which was introduced in Paris on January 7, 1839. To make the image permanent, Daguerre used salt solution. The result of his introduced process is a finely defined image with surface which is delicate. The major benefit of daguerreotype is if the images are correctly preserved, the pictures could last forever. Aside from this, since it produces superior quality of outline, it is thus suitable for portraitures.
