Answer:

the length of pennies will be like the Proxima Centauri

Explanation:

50 pennies make the length of a meter, so :

50 pennies = 1 m

   x               = 1 km  

x= (50 x 1000) = 50 000 pennies = 1 Km

Then if the Avogadro´s number is 6.022 x 1023 so:

50 000 pennies = 1 km

6.022 x 1023 pennies = x

x= (6.022 x 1023/ 50 000) = 1.2044 x 1019

This big number is closer to the 40 trillion km of the Proxima Centauri.

Hope this answer is useful.

18. All of the following represent examples of the incidence of tax, EXCEPT for *
emmasim [6.3K]

Answer: See explanation

Explanation:

You didn't give the options and I couldn't find the exact question online. Let me try help out.

Incidence of tax is the impact that a tax simply has on how the economic welfare are being distributed. It refers to how tax is being distributed between the producers and the buyers of a particular good. It should be noted that the tax burden is shared by the sellers depending on the elasticity of the said product.

For example, in a situation whereby a $2 tax is imposed on each good a producer produces, if the producer then pass the tax to the final consumers when he raised the price of the goods by $2, we can simply say that such good has a price inelastic as the entire burden falls on the consumer.

Also, assuming the producer can't increase prices because such good is price elastic, that is, there will be a greater change in the quantity of the goods demanded, the burden will be felt by the producer alone. Here, we can say that the tax incidence falls on the producer.

MA_775_DIABLO [31]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

The political problems of the post-colonial period included <u>A) ethnic conflict, B) human rights, and C) political capacity</u>.

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Many countries that were colonies still face challenges post-colonial era. Economic challenges and poverty are at the forefront of countries that were French colonies. Ethnic conflict is another problem faced by former European colonies in African countries and it is believed that colonizers gave rise to this problem during their reign.  

Tactics such as divide and conquer were used against the natives by colonizers and they also set boundaries without considering the distribution of different cultural groups. Decolonization was not able to accommodate most of the ethnic groups living within the boundaries set by colonizers. These resulted in political corruptions, human rights violations, and disrespecting the law.
