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.

The metric unit of force is the
grandymaker [24]

The unit of force is the 'Newton'.

1 newton is the force that accelerates 1 kilogram of mass
at the rate of 1 meter per second-squared.

                   1 N  =  1 kg-m/s²

-- A force of 1 pound is about  4.448 newtons.

-- A force of 1 newton is about  3.6 ounces.

Newton's law of gravity was inconsistent with Einstein's special relativity because
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

Mass and thus force depends on the reference frame chosen

Explanation:

This can be explained as Newton's law of gravity provides action which are instantaneous at a distance and involves the evaluation of all the quantities at present time or at the instant they occur.

If the body undergoes a change in its mass distribution there will be an immediate change in its gravitational force without any lag.

Now, if we talk about special relativity, it would be absurd to say that an information can travel faster than light. The effect is in synchronization with the cause in one reference frame where the effect occurs after the cause for some observer in some other reference frame.

In order to observe Newton's law of gravity all the observer's in different reference frames must observe the same phenomena which could only be possible if time were absolute and in special relativity, time is not absolute.

Therefore, Newton's law of gravity was inconsistent with the Einstein's Special Relativity.

Explain the following observations:
Deffense [45]

Answer and Explanation:

a. An oxygen-filled balloon is not able to float in the air, because the oxygen inside the balloon is of the same density, that is, the same "weight" as the oxygen outside the balloon and present in the atmosphere. The balloon can only float if the gas inside it is less dense than atmospheric oxygen. Helium gas is less dense than atmospheric gas, so if a balloon is filled with helium gas, that balloon will be able to float because of the difference in density.

b. The ship is able to float in the water because its steel construction is hollow and full of air. This makes the average density of this ship less than the density of water, which makes the ship lighter than water and for this reason, this ship is able to float. In addition, the ship is partially immersed, allowing the weight of the ship on the water to counteract the buoyant force that the water promotes on the ship. Weight and buoyant are two opposing forces that keep the ship afloat.
