Suppose a firm is producing 2,475 units of output by hiring 50 workers (W = $20 per hour) and 25 units of capital (R = $10 per h

our). The marginal product of labor and marginal product of capital are 40 and 25, respectively. Is the firm minimizing the cost of producing 2,475 units of output?

Answer

given,

firm is producing  = 2,475 units

output by hiring 50 workers W = $20 per hour

25 units of capital R = $10 per hour

marginal product of labor = 40

marginal product of capital = 25

\dfrac{MP_l}{MP_c}=\dfrac{40}{25}

\dfrac{MP_l}{MP_c}=\dfrac{8}{5}

\dfrac{W}{R}=\dfrac{20}{10}

\dfrac{W}{R}=2

\dfrac{MP_l}{MP_c} < \dfrac{W}{R}

Firm is not minimizing the cost because the firm use more capital and less labor.

The first: alright, first: you draw the person in the elevator, then draw a red arrow, pointing downwards, beginning from his center of mass. This arrow is representing the gravitational force, Fg.
You can always calculate this right away, if you know his mass, by multiplying his weight in kg by the gravitational constant
g = 9.81 \frac{m}{s {}^{2} }
let's do it for this case:
f_{g}  = m \times g \\ f _{g}  = 65kg \times 9.81 \frac{m}{s {}^{2} }  = 637.65
the unit of your fg will be in Newton [N]
so, first step solved, Fg is 637.65N
Fg is a field force by the way, and at the same time, the elevator is pushing up on him with 637.65N, so you draw another arrow pointing upwards, ending at the tip of the downwards arrow.
now let's calculate the force of the elevator
f = m \times a \\ f = 65 \times 5 \frac{m}{s {}^{2} }  \\ f = 325n
so you draw another arrow which is pointing downwards on him, because the elevator is accelating him upwards, making him heavier
the elevator force in this case is a contact force, because it only comes to existence while the two are touching, while Fg is the same everywhere

An object has traveled 20 meters in 40 seconds what is its average speed
Mice21 [21]

Hello,


To solve we need to know the formula for speed

The formula is D/T=S     (Distance of time=speed)

Now all we have to do is plug in the numbers.

20/40= 1/2 or 0.5

SO the speed is 0.5 m/s


Have a great day!

When running your engine, you cause debris, rocks and propeller blast to be directed towards people or other aircraft. Is this c
beks73 [17]

Answer:

Yes, it is reckless. This is because it is the responsibility of the pilot to make sure that the direction of the propeller blast is away from people or other aircraft and in a safe direction.

Explanation:

Yes, it is reckless to let the propeller blast face people and other aircraft. This is because it is the responsibility of the pilot to make sure that the direction of the propeller blast is away from people or other aircraft and in a safe direction. People and other aircraft can be injured by the debris and the rocks that are scattered by the engine of the aircraft.
