AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around understanding the implications of energy pricing on productivity and wealth generation. Participants are questioning the meaning of "highest possible" price in relation to energy costs and their impact on economic activity. It is suggested that when energy expenses exceed a certain threshold, individuals may be better off not engaging in productive activities. The conversation highlights a specific price point of $0.4/kWh, equating to approximately €0.29/kWh, as a critical threshold. Overall, the focus is on determining the balance between energy costs and economic productivity.

The Attempt at a Solution



Im not sure what they mean with 'highest possible' and how to use the increase of kWh/O,4$/year/person.
Can somebody help me?

Above a certain price the energy expenses outweight the wealth that its use can produce. When that happens people will be better off staying at home and doing nothing than trying to be productive. The questions asks what do you think that price is, given the information provided.
 
Isn't the highest possible price 0,4$/kWh
0,4$/kWh = O,29€/kWh?

That seems to be the case, doesn't it?
 

Thread 'Rolling without slipping on a curved surface'

Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .

Thread 'Voltmeter readings for this circuit with switches'

TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...

Thread 'Trying to understand the logic behind adding vectors with an angle between them'

My initial calculation was to subtract V1 from V2 to show that from the perspective of the second aircraft the first one is -300km/h. So i checked with ChatGPT and it said I cant just subtract them because I have an angle between them. So I dont understand the reasoning of it. Like why should a velocity be dependent on an angle? I was thinking about how it would look like if the planes where parallel to each other, and then how it look like if one is turning away and I dont see it. Since...
