Answer:

The tort of Assault

Explanation:

Assault is a tort and occurs when one person intentionally places anther in a state of fear. There are three types of assault: simple assault, assault and battery and aggravated assault. Each type of assault is intended to instill fear and may even involve physical pain against another person.

In common law, assault is the tort of acting intentionally, that is with either general or specific intent, causing the reasonable apprehension of an immediate harmful or offensive contact. Because assault requires intent, it is considered an intentional tort, as opposed to a tort of negligence. Actual ability to carry out the apprehended contact is not necessary. In Criminal Law an assault is defined as an attempt to commit battery, requiring the specific intent to cause physical injury.

<u>Answer: </u>

The statements that describe recurrent warfare between colonists and Indians are:

Cos(pi/2 - x) = sin(x). sec(x) = 1/cos(x), so the left side would be sinx/cosx = tanx. So it checks out.

sergiy2304 [10]

The passage of the Indian Removal Act of 1830 resulted in the second battle of Seminole Wars (1835-1842).

The Seminole Wars were three conflicts based in Florida between the Seminole Tribe and the United States Army. The conflict was based on Seminoles fighting back against the forcible removal of Native Americans to federal reservations. The Seminoles, who were outnumbered, used guerilla “hit and run” war tactics that are still studied today.

KiRa [710]

Answer:

one-half

Explanation:

Thomas has an eating disorder. He eats large amounts of food and then is afraid of gaining weight. This fear causes him to go to the bathroom and vomit.

Thomas does this because he believes he will be avoiding weight gain, however, vomiting is not helping Thomas to lose weight and may even make him put on even more weight. This is because the food that was vomited was already partially digested. In addition, vomiting does not help Thomas lose body fat and only removes around one-half percent of the calories he consumed.
