What does it mean when a force is balanced? Balanced forces are equal in size and opposite in direction. When forces are balanced, there is no change in motion. In one of your situations in the last section, you pushed or pulled on an object from opposite directions but with the same force. What is […]

Where is productive efficiency? In long-run equilibrium for perfectly competitive markets, productive efficiency occurs at the base of the average total cost curve — i.e. where marginal cost equals average total cost — for each good. What is meant by productive efficiency? Production efficiency is an economic term describing a level in which an economy […]

What is the SI unit of current? ampere How do you measure current in a DC circuit? It is measured in the unit of the Ampere, simply called “Amp,” (A). The most common way to measure current in a circuit is to break the circuit open and insert an “ammeter” in series (in-line) with the […]

What are the natural variables of Helmholtz free energy? The natural variables are temperature, T, and volume, V . If the temperature and volume are held constant, the system will reach the equilibrium state (pressure, P, and entropy, S) with the minimum Helmholtz free energy. What are the four thermodynamic functions? Four important and useful […]

What do u mean by mental model? A mental model is an explanation of someone’s thought process about how something works in the real world.
