Suppose you are an engineer building a road across a mountain. From a prudential point of view, it would be easier and cheaper t

o build it through a family’s farm. This option would require compelling the family to move, which would be an extreme hardship for them. From a moral point of view, the family should be allowed to stay on their farm. Which view should take precedence?

Compensation may be provided, and a temporary residence provided, to the family so that they may make necessary adjustments to their living arrangements and other work-related matters. Even if it's not the nicest way to go about things, it's the most effective.

<h3>What is compensation due to damages?</h3>

Generally, Money given to a successful plaintiff in civil litigation is known as "compensatory damages." Damage awards are handed out by the civil justice system.

In conclusion, Engineers have a responsibility to find optimal solutions that satisfy the demands of the public in a manner that is both practical and beneficial to the progress of the country as a whole. In this case, forcing the farm family to relocate would be very difficult and upsetting for them, but it would be quite useful for the community as a whole if a road were to be constructed.

What is the best use of an atomic model to explain the charge of the particles in thomson's beams
hoa [83]

The best use of an atomic model to explain the charge of the particles in Thomson's beams is:

<u>An atom's smaller negative particles are at a distance from the central positive particles, so the negative particles are easier to remove.</u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

In Thomson's model, an atom comprises of electrons that are surrounded by a group of positive particles to equal the electron's negative particles, like negatively charged “plums” that are surrounded by positively charged “pudding”.

Atoms are composed of a nucleus that consists of protons and neutrons . Electron was discovered by Sir J.J.Thomson. Atoms are neutral overall, therefore in Thomson’s ‘plum pudding model’:

  • atoms are spheres of positive charge
  • electrons are dotted around inside

Thomson's conclusions made him to propose the Rutherford model of the atom where the atom had a concentrated nucleus of positive charge and also large mass.

In a cyclic process, a gas performs 123 J of work on its surroundings per cycle. What amount of heat, if any, transfers into or
Margaret [11]

Answer:

123 J transfer into the gas

Explanation:

Here we know that 123 J work is done by the gas on its surrounding

So here gas is doing work against external forces

Now for cyclic process we know that

\Delta U = 0

so from 1st law of thermodynamics we have

dQ = W + \Delta U

dQ = W

so work done is same as the heat supplied to the system

So correct answer is

123 J transfer into the gas
