Is this your Question:
Read the hypothetical situation below and answer the question that follows.
In response to criticisms that the King of Mordor has failed to gain the consent of his people, the King claims that he does in fact represent the consent of the people because without their King, society would crumble into chaos.
Which statement BEST represents a rebuttal that Rousseau would use to counter the King's argument?
A.
Absolute chaos is preferable to the absolute power of the King.
B.
The King of Mordor should establish a system of checks and balances.
C.
If the King of Mordor were to represent the will of his people, then he would at least provide the public services demanded by his people.
D.
It is impossible for the King of Mordor to have the consent of the people because the monarchy is not a freely formed government in which the people have a say in how it operates.

Explanation:
Rousseau believed that sovereignty (the power to make laws) belonged to the people, not one person, and that it should be carried out by a representative body of the people who are elected by them on their behalf. While he agreed society requires a ruler(s), he thinks they should be chosen by the people.
Answer:
(A) V = 9.89m/s
(B) U = -2.50m/s
(C) ΔK.E = –377047J
(D) ΔK.E = –257750J
Explanation:
The full solution can be found in the attachment below. The east has been chosen as the direction for positivity.
This problem involves the principle of momentum conservation. This principle states that the total momentum before collision is equal to the total momentum after collision. This problem is an inelastic kind of collision for which the momentum is conserved but the kinetic energy is not. The kinetic energy after collision is always lesser than that before collision. The balance is converted into heat by friction, and also sound energy.
See attachment below for full solution.
The only vertical forces are weight and normal force, and they balance since the surface is horizontal. The horizontal forces are the applied force (uppercase F) in the direction the block slides and the frictional force (lowercase f) in the opposite direction.
Apply Newton's 2nd Law in the horizontal direction:
ΣF = ma
F - f = ma
where f = µmg
F - µmg = ma
F = m(a +µg)
F = (20 kg)(1.4 m/s² + 0.28(9.8 m/s²)
F = 83 N
