Is this your Question:

Read the hypothetical situation below and answer the question that follows.

In response to criticisms that the King of Mordor has failed to gain the consent of his people, the King claims that he does in fact represent the consent of the people because without their King, society would crumble into chaos.

Which statement BEST represents a rebuttal that Rousseau would use to counter the King's argument?

A. Absolute chaos is preferable to the absolute power of the King.

B. The King of Mordor should establish a system of checks and balances.

C. If the King of Mordor were to represent the will of his people, then he would at least provide the public services demanded by his people.

D. It is impossible for the King of Mordor to have the consent of the people because the monarchy is not a freely formed government in which the people have a say in how it operates.

If this is your question.. Here is your Answer:

Answer: D. It is impossible for the King of Mordor to have the consent of the people because the monarchy is not a freely formed government in which the people have a say in how it operates.

Explanation:

Rousseau believed that sovereignty (the power to make laws) belonged to the people, not one person, and that it should be carried out by a representative body of the people who are elected by them on their behalf. While he agreed society requires a ruler(s), he thinks they should be chosen by the people.

When a 0.622 kg basketball hits the floor, its velocity changes from 4.23 m/s down to 3.85 m/s up. If the ball was in contact wi

SVEN [57.7K]

when the ball hits the floor and bounces back the momentum of the ball changes.

the rate of change of momentum is the force exerted by the floor on it.

the equation for the force exerted is

f = rate of change of momentum

$f = \frac{mv - mu}{t}$

v is the final velocity which is - 3.85 m/s

u is initial velocity - 4.23 m/s

m = 0.622 kg

time is the impact time of the ball in contact with the floor - 0.0266 s

substituting the values

$f = \frac{0.622 kg (3.85 m/s - (-)4.23 m/s)}{0.0266}$

since the ball is going down, we take that as negative and ball going upwards as positive.

f = 189 N

the force exerted from the floor is 189 N

Your friend says that if Newton’s third law is correct, no object would ever start moving. Here is his argument: You pull a sled

m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

You pull a sled exerting a 50 N force on it , sled also exerts a force on you . These forces are action and reaction force , as per third law of Newton . These two forces are equal and opposite . But they do not act on the same object so they do not cancel each other . They act on different objects , one on the sledge and the other on you . Due to force on sledge , sledge moves in the direction of force or towards you . You will start moving in opposite direction if frictional force of ground is nil or less .

Nearly all conventional piston engines have flywheels on them to smooth out engine vibrations caused by the thrust of individual

Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

This is because, the flywheel has a very large moment of Inertia and hence sudden piston torques have negligible effect on the flywheel, but every piston combined has a significant torque. This smoothens out the vibrations.

Don't over think it!

For example, if you do 5 laps in 5 minutes then you do one lap per minute. If you use that example and you apply it to your problem you'll notice that the answer is simply C. 1km/min.

Best wishes!

Kiana is wearing a black shirt and shiny necklace. While she is outside at recess her shirt absorbs the light waves and gets ver

makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

Black bodies are good absorber of light waves from the sun, while shining surfaces are good reflector of the light waves.

Explanation:

Generally, a black surface or material tends to absorb light waves while under the sun, while a shiny surface is a good reflector of the waves. This is because the black material is a good absorber, and also a good emitter.

The shiny necklace can only absorb little light waves from the sun, thus it reflects most of the light waves. The reflection is the reason for the small circles of light seen around the yard.

However, when in a cool environment the black shirt would cools faster (good emitter) than the shiny necklace.
