Coach Chuck unjustifiably throws a water bottle at Smith intending to strike Smith. However, Chuck misses Smith. Specifically, t

he bottle whizzes by Smith's head and misses him by about an inch. The bottle then strikes the hat Potter is wearing on his head. The bottle does not make contact with Potter's body. Of course Chuck never wanted to make contact with Potter. Potter, turns his head trying to avoid the bottle and he reasonably finds the whole incident to be highly offensive. Potter sues Chuck for Assault and Battery. Which of the following is most true?
A. Chuck is not laible for assault or battery because Potter did not suffer any physical harm.
B. Chuck is not liable because he did not intend to make contact with Potter.
C. Chuck is not liable for battery because the bottle did not make contact with Potter's body but he is liable for assault.

Answer:

D. Chuck is liable to Potter for both Battery and Assault

Explanation:

Assault is making a physical attack on another person that causes the person to fear for their safety.

Battery is occurs when an attack impacts on the victim. It is the result or completion of an assault.

In this scenario Coach Chuck unjustifiably throws a water bottle at Smith intending to strike Smith instead the bottle hits Potter's hat.

Potter felt threatened that is why he turned his head to avoid the bottle. This is assault.

The bottle actually hit his hat. This is considered a battery.

<h3>What is opportunity cost?</h3>

The opportunity cost of a specific activity option in microeconomic theory is the loss of value or benefit that would be experienced by engaging in that activity, as opposed to engaging in an alternative activity that offers a higher return in value or benefit.

The value of the next best alternative or option is referred to as the opportunity cost. This value may or may not be monetary. Value can also be measured using other criteria such as time or satisfaction. One formula for calculating opportunity costs may be the ratio of what you give up to what you receive.

Imaginate en un viaje interplanetario a un planeta al cual no llega el sol ni no tres meses al año como seria el aspecto de este
Aleksandr [31]

La respuesta correcta para esta pregunta abierta sería la siguiente.

Lo que yo haría para armar un campamento y sobrevivir en el planeta, instalaría ventiladores lo más grandes posible para usar los fuertes vientos que soplan en ese planeta como generadores de energía eléctrica. Algo así como la energía eólica que usamos en el planeta Tierra como una fuente de energía renovable.

Si  por un fenómeno inexplicable una región de Tierra no recibe la luz durante un mes lo que ocurriría sería que la vida como la conocemos en el planeta se vería afectada seriamente porque el Sol es el gran dador de vida para los animales, plantas vegetales y el ser humano. Sin el sol, las plantas no podrían alimentarse. El sol es vital, como lo es el agua.

En el caso de los humanos, el Sol nos aporta una gran cantidad de vitamina "D," y al no recibirla, nos afectaría, así como a todos los seres vivos.

Si tuvieras que solucionar los problemas generados por falta de luz, o que que haría sería recurrir al fuego  y a la energía del viento, la eólica, tal y como lo mencioné anteriormente.
