History

Marina86 [1]3 years ago

The United States covered a large part of land from East to West. Traditionally, even town had their own time, determined by a sundial at noon.

However, this became problematic as noon in one city could be very difficult from a noon in another city. As the railroads expanded it was deemed impossible to run the operations with every town, station and city having a separate time.

It was also dangerous as different times could result in collisions.

Eventually, the Railroads came up with an idea to divide Mainland United State into four different time zones so that it was easier to manage.

This eventually helped to develop the official time zones in the country.

Natali [406]

Answer:

a machine used for imitation

Explanation:

To simulate is similar to imitate. In the passage, the machine allows the turtles to move their legs as if they were swimming. It copies the conditions turtles need to swim.  

Simulators can be mechanical, as in the example, but there are also virtual simulators which are used in all kind of experiments, training, and leisure. Think of videogames or flight simulators.

capitalism is inherently unstable, resulting in recessions and depressions. Are communism and socialism more stable? How and Why
natulia [17]

Answer:

The more fundamental reason I believe capitalism is speculative and inherently unstable is that the money on which it is based is speculative as well. Contrary to what socialists claim, capitalism, with all of its flaws, is the preferred economic system for lifting the masses out of poverty and transforming them into productive citizens in our country and around the world.
