Q:

Where are Maglev trains used?

A) London B) Russia
C) Germany D) Japan
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) Japan

Explanation:

Maglev trains are used in Japan, South Korea and China only.

Maglev derived from magnetic levitation using the principle of magnetic repulsion is a system of train transportation that uses two sets of magnets, one set to repel and push the train up off the track as in levitation then another set to move the 'floating train' ahead at great speed taking advantage of no friction. Maglev trains are therefore quieter and smoother than conventional trains, and have the potential for much higher speeds

Despite over a century of research and development, maglev transport systems are in operation in just three countries Japan, South Korea and China.

 

Hence Maglev -- Magnetic-levitation.

Q:

What stops one branch of government from becoming too powerful?

A) State governments B) Every 4 years of President election
C) Members of congress D) Checks and Balances
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) Checks and Balances

Explanation:

A procedure or method called Checks and Balances stops one branch of government from becoming too powerful.

  • In the United States, there are three branches of government: The Executive, Legislative, and Judicial.

 

  • Each has its own responsibilities and at the same time they work together to make the country run smoothly and to assure that the rights of citizens are not ignored or disallowed.

 

  • There is a clear separation of powers between them.

 

  • Checks and Balances limit the power within each branch.

 

  • Each branch can stop and/or override processes within other branches in manners that are outlined in federal laws, regulations, and the constitution.

 

  • This way, their powers are balanced because the branches of government have the responsibility to check each other.
