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.

In the design of wall and column forms, the two most important factors are which of the following? a. rate of placement of the c
Simora [160]

Answer:

c. length of the wall or column and the rate of placement of the concrete

Explanation:

when designing for wall and column form-works, it is of utmost important to know the length of the wall and the type of concrete placement to be used.

Concrete placement has methods and precaution to be taken when doing the  form work

if the concrete placement is manually (hand or funnel) the form work height should not be more than 1 m to enable easy compaction and vibration of concrete in the form.

Also, if the form work length is too long and it is not well reinforced, it tends to burg if the force apply during concrete placement or during vibration is much.

Rudik [331]

Answer:

1)   P₁ = -2 D,   2) P₂ = 6 D

Explanation:

for this exercise in geometric optics let's use the equation of the constructor

          \frac{1}{f} = \frac{1}{p} + \frac{1}{q}

where f is the focal length, p and q are the distance to the object and the image, respectively

1) to see a distant object it must be at infinity (p = ∞)

          \frac{1}{f_1} = \frac{1}{q}

           q = f₁

2) for an object located at p = 25 cm

            \frac{1}{f_2} = \frac{1}{25} + \frac{1}{q}

We can that in the two expressions we have the distance to the image, this is the distance where it can be seen clearly in general for a normal person is q = 50 cm

we substitute in the equations

1) f₁ = -50 cm

2)  

        \frac{1}{f_2} = \frac{1}{25} + \frac{1}{50}

        \frac{1}{f_2} = 0.06

         f₂ = 16.67 cm

the expression for the power of the lenses is

          P = \frac{1}{f}

where the focal length is in meters

           

1)       P₁ = 1/0.50

        P₁ = -2 D

2)     P₂ = 1 /0.16667

        P₂ = 6 D
