The first working steam­ powered vehicle was designed and most likely built by Ferdinand Verbies, a Flemish member of a Jesuit mission in China around 1672. It was a 65 cm long scale­ model toy for the Chinese Emperor, that was unable to carry a driver or a passenger. It is not known if Verbiest's model was ever built. Nicolas- Joseph Cugnot is widely credited with building the first full­ scale, self ­propelled mechanical vehicle or automobile in about 1769; he also created a steam­ powered tricycle. He constructed two steam tractors for the French Army, one of which is preserved in the French National Conservatory of Arts and Crafts. His inventions were however handicapped by problems of water supply and maintaining steam pressure. In 1801, Richard Trevithick built and demonstrated his Puffing Devil road locomotive, believed by many to be the first demonstration of a steam ­powered road vehicle. It was unable to maintain sufficient steam pressure for long periods. Sentiment against steam ­powered road vehicles led to the Locomotive Acts of 1865. In 1807 Nicephore Niepce and his brother Claude probably created the world's first internal combustion engine which they called Pyreolophore.

Answer & Explanation Answer: D) along a production possibilities curve, increases in the production of one good require larger and larger sacrifices of the other good

Explanation:

Opportunity cost is the cost of other alternative choices for making your interested choice of work. Oppurtunity cost is also called as alternative cost.

For example on a holiday, you have two choices to do, either you can go to movie or a function. And if you chose to go to moavie, the oppurtunity cost of going to movie is the value that would have gotten if you had gone to function.

 

The law of increasing opportunity costs states that as you increase production of one good, the opportunity cost to produce an additional good will increase.
