Answer:

The forces acting on the heavy box pushed across the carpeted floor are:

- Gravitational force: this force acts on any object with mass, and it always acts downwards (towards the Earth's centre). its magnitude is

W=mg

where m is the mass of the box and g is the acceleration due to gravity.

- Normal force: this is the reaction force exerted by the floor on the box, N, and it acts upward, in the direction opposite to gravity. This force perfectly balances the force of gravity along the vertical direction.

- Applied force: this is the force due to the push applied by Jake, F. It acts horizontally in the forward direction.

- Force of friction: this is a resistive force that acts in the opposite direction to the motion of the box, F_f, and it is due to the contact between the microbumps present on the surface of the box and of the floor.

While the forces along the vertical direction are balanced, the forces along the horizontal direction are not, since the applied force is larger than the frictional force:

F>F_f

This means that the net force along the horizontal direction is non-zero:

F_{net}=F-F_f > 0

And according to Newton's second law of motion, this also means that the box has a non-zero acceleration along the horizontal direction:

F_{net}=ma \rightarrow a=\frac{F_{net}}{m}>0

Explain the connection between jingoism and McKinley's foreign policy
snow_tiger [21]

McKinley's foreign policy centered on imperialism with the mission of bringing American culture to the conquered areas.

Jingoism is extreme patriotism which grew in the US following the Civil War and Industrialization. To become a modern country, the US came to believe they must engage in imperialism.

During McKinley's presidency, the US went to war with Spain in Cuba and annexed Hawaii. The gaining of new lands brought into the US empire were done so with the mission to spread democracy. McKinley argued the US had an obligation to support and spread democratic ideology. The extreme patriotism of the US supported these actions by believing the US was the best country and could be a model for other countries.

How has hamas impacted the Israeli-Palestinian crisis?
stepladder [879]

Answer:

Recent Developments

Palestinians in the Gaza Strip conducted weekly demonstrations between March 30 and May 15, 2018, at the border between the Gaza Strip and Israel. The final protest coincided with the seventieth anniversary of the Nakba, the Palestinian exodus that accompanied Israeli independence, as well as the relocation of the U.S. embassy to the contested city of Jerusalem. While most of the protesters were peaceful, some stormed the perimeter fence and threw rocks and other objects. According to the United Nations, 183 demonstrators were killed and over 6,000 wounded by live ammunition.

Also in May, fighting broke out between Hamas and the Israeli military in what became the worst period of violence since 2014. Before both sides reached a cease-fire, militants in Gaza fired over one hundred rockets into Israel and Israel responded with strikes on more than fifty targets in Gaza during the twenty-four–hour flare-up.

Background

The Israeli-Palestinian conflict dates back to the end of the nineteenth century, primarily as a conflict over territory. After the 1948 Arab-Israeli war, the Holy Land was divided into three parts: the State of Israel, the West Bank (of the Jordan River), and the Gaza Strip. Successive wars resulted in minor shifts of territory until the Yom Kippur War in October 1973, when Egypt and Syria launched a surprise attack on Israel because of Israel’s occupation of the Sinai Peninsula and the Golan Heights. The conflict was calmed by the Camp David Accords in 1979, which bound Egypt and Israel in a peace treaty.

Yet once the wars over territory were over, a surge in violence and uprisings among the Palestinians began. The first intifada, in 1987, was an uprising comprising hundreds of thousands of Palestinians living in the West Bank and Gaza Strip. The 1993 Oslo Accords mediated the conflict, setting up a framework for the Palestinians to govern themselves and establishing relations between the newly established Palestinian Authority and Israel’s government. In 2000, inspired by continuing Palestinian grievances, the second intifada began and was much bloodier than the first. After a wave of violence between Israelis and Palestinians in 2015, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas announced that Palestinians would no longer be bound by the Oslo Accords.

¿Por qué se sostiene que las economías de enclave en Latinoamérica, y las agroexportadoras en general, están asociadas con la in
horsena [70]

Answer:

Una industria del primer mundo cuyo objeto es la economía de enclave se basa en la globalización para incorporar capital en un país latinoamericano y, una vez adquirido todos los beneficios que le puede ofrecer dicho país en materia de reducción de impuestos o condiciones laborales benéficas para ellos, generar ganancias que en su gran mayoría se ven dirigidas a sí mismos y sus países de origen, acarreando en el país latinoamericano problemas a largo plazo por monocultivos o disminución de la calidad de vida de las personas que trabajan para dichas empresas, así como una codependencia del país latinoamericano puesto que requieren de productos y servicios variados que no son producidos dentro de su territorio, debido a que el territorio está enfocado en satisfacer necesidades de países en el primer mundo, con lo cual la relación del país se asemeja al de las antiguas colonias que precisamente eran regidas por países que en su momento fueron potencias mundiales y cuyo actuar común era desangrar a sus colonias para satisfacer sus propias necesidades.

Explanation:

Las economías de enclave tienen múltiples repercusiones negativas para países en Latinoamérica, África e incluso Asia, puesto que existen en diversas formas, no solo las grandes agroexportadoras, sino también las maquilas y mucho más preocupante <u>el conflicto social que producen los grupos subversivos que regularmente son contratados por dichas industrias para garantizar sus objetivos dentro del país del tercer mundo</u>.
