Answer:

TRUE

Explanation:

Opportunity cost refers to those costs that can help us save more money. When we move from one investment to another, then the additional income from the other investment is called opportunity cost.

When Argentina fixed the exchange rate of their peso to the U.S. dollar, one outcome was: Group of answer choices Argentinean ce
MariettaO [177]

Answer: Argentinean central bankers effectively gave control of their domestic interest rate to the FOMC.

Explanation:

The Federal Open Market Committee(FOMC) is a committee of the Federal Reserve which influences the interest rate in the country by engaging in Open Market Operations (OMO). In doing so, they also influence the value of the dollar which is the currency of the U.S.

By pegging the Argentine Peso to the U.S. dollar, the Argentines effectively gave control of their domestic interest rate to the FOMC because the FOMC in deciding the interest rate for the U.S. and therefore the dollar, will be deciding for any other currency that moves exactly as the dollar does which is what the Peso is now going to do.

A steel bar is 10 mm diameter and 2 m long. It stretched with a force of 20 kN and extends by 0.2 mm. Calculate the stress and s
Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

2.5 * 10^12 Nm-2

Explanation:

Stretching force = 20 * 10^3 N

diameter = 10 * 10^-3 m

extension = 0.2 * 10^-3 m

length of bar = 2m

Young Modulus = stress/strain

stress = Force/Area

Strain = extension/length

Young Modulus = Force/Area/extension/length

But area = πr^2 = 3.142 * (5 *10^-3)^2 = 7.9 * 10^-5 m^2

Stress = 20 * 10^3/7.9 * 10^-5  = 2.5 * 10^8 Nm-2

Strain = 0.2 * 10^-3/2 = 1 * 10^-4

Young Modulus = 2.5 * 10^8/1 * 10^-4  

Young Modulus =  2.5 * 10^12 Nm-2
