Light-rail systems have been tried all over the country, and they've failed. Although the people who support them have noble int

entions, sadly, the system the city proposes is doomed to fail as well. People simply enjoy their cars too much to endure any inconvenience for the sake of the environment. And I don't blame them. As the owner of Jake's Used Cars and Trucks, I have seen the joy and freedom car ownership brings people. Americans will never abandon that feeling for the sake of being slightly better citizens. I believe it is far more responsible to purchase a high-quality car with good fuel efficiency. Building an entire light-rail system from the ground up, as the city proposes to do, will be more wasteful in the end if nobody uses it — not to mention that it will take years to build and cost taxpayers millions of dollars. I encourage all city residents to vote against the light-rail system on May 1. Which statement best describes the author's point of view? A. The author thinks Americans should be more environmentally responsible. B. The author wants citizens to visit his car dealership. C. The author is opposed to the light-rail project. D. The author would like the city to implement its project successfully.

Citizens should vote against the proposed claim.

ANSWER: C. The author is opposed to the light-rail project.

EXPLANATION: The author understands the mentality and the sentiments of Americans. He knows the fact very well that people would never compromise their comfort, joy and freedom to become a good citizen. The author thinks they can be rather advised to buy high quality cars with good fuel efficiency than using the light rail system. So, to avoid taxpayers' millions of dollars, he wants the citizens to vote against it.

An object is thrown directly downward from the top of a very tall building. The speed of the object just as it is released is 17
Softa [21]

Answer:

distance cover is  = 102.53 m

Explanation:

Given data:

speed of object is 17.1 m/s

t_1 = 3.32 sec

t_2 = 5.08 sec

from equation of motion we know that

d_1 = vt_1 + \frac{1}{2} gt_1^2

where d_1 is distance covered in time t1

sod_1 = 17.1 \times 3.32 + \frac{1}{2} 9.8 \times 3.32^2=

d_1 = 110.78 m

d_2 = vt_2 + \frac{1}{2} gt_2^2

where d_2 is distance covered in time t2

d_2 = 17.1 \times 5.08 + \frac{1}{2}\times9.8 \times 5.08^2

d_2 = 213.31 m

distance cover is  = 213.31 - 110.78 = 102.53 m

Suppose a ball is dropped from shoulder height, falls, makes a perfectly elastic collision with the floor, and rebounds to shoul
Bezzdna [24]

Answer:Same magnitude

Explanation:

When ball is dropped from shoulder height h then velocity at the bottom is given by

v_1=\sqrt{2gh}

if it makes elastic collision then it will acquire the same velocity and riser up to the same height

If m is the mass of ball then impulse imparted is given by

J=m(v_2-v_1)

J=2m\sqrt{2gh}

Thus impulse imparted by gravity and Floor will have same magnitude of impulse but direction will be opposite to each other.

shusha [124]

The correct answer would be odor. Because it's sweet.  Boiling shape and hardness have nothing to do with sweet and floral :)
