Answer: The two trucks will be 339.5 miles apart after 3.5 hours.

Explanation:

Let x =Time taken(in hours) by both trucks when they 339.5 miles apart.

Distance = Speed x Time

Distance traveled to North = 48x miles

Distance traveled to South = 49x miles

Total distance = 48x+49x = 97x miles = 339.5 miles  [given]

\Rightarrow\ x=\dfrac{339.5}{97}\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=3.5

Hence, the two trucks will be 339.5 miles apart after 3.5 hours.

In this passage, Hobbes discusses the nature of the government that people create with their social contract.
kherson [118]

Answer:

<h2>be completely powerful</h2>

<u>Further details:</u>

Thomas Hobbes published a famous work called <em>Leviathan</em> in 1651.  The title "Leviathan" comes from a biblical word for a great and mighty beast. Hobbes believed government is formed by people for the sake of their personal security and stability in society.  In Hobbes' view, once the people put a king (or other leader in power), then that leader needs to have supreme power (like a great and mighty beast).   Hobbes' view of the natural state of human beings without a government held that people are too divided and too volatile as individuals -- everyone looking out for his own interests.  So for security and stability, authority and the power of the law needs to be in the hands of a powerful ruler like a king or queen.  And so people willingly enter a "social contract" in which they live under a government that provides stability and security for society.

Probably the most famous set of lines from Hobbes' <em>Leviathan</em> book describes what he saw as the natural state of human affairs without government -- one in which every individual had freedom, but that meant it was a situation of "war of all against all," or we might say, every man for himself.  Hobbes wrote:

  • <em>In such condition, there is no place for industry; because the fruit thereof is uncertain: and consequently no culture of the earth; no navigation, nor use of the commodities that may be imported by sea; no commodious building; no instruments of moving, and removing, such things as require much force; no knowledge of the face of the earth; no account of time; no arts; no letters; no society; and which is worst of all, continual fear, and danger of violent death; and the life of man, solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short.</em>
