Answer:

Africa

Explanation:

After Asia, which is the largest continent of the world, Africa comes second in terms of land area and also by population. Africa has a land area of about 11,724,000 square miles (30,365,000 square km), which accounts for about one-fifth of the total land area on earth. Africa is also the second largest continent on earth by population size, with an estimated total human population of approximately 1.3 billion people.

Africa is nicknamed "mother continent" as it is said to have been where man have first lived in and originated from, according to archaeological discoveries and facts which dates back to more than 2 million years ago.

Answer:

Africa

Explanation:

Africa by land area, is the second largest continent.

It covers a land area of about 11,608,000 square miles. <em>This is next to Asia in land area,  which covers a land area of 17,212,000 square miles.</em>

Based on historical and archaeological evidence, humans  have lived in Africa for more than 5 million years. This earned Africa the name "Mother Continent".

The first hominins <em>(primates which can be considered as directly ancestral to humans )</em> in Africa emerged about  6-7 million years ago, and among the earliest anatomically modern human skulls found so far were discovered at Ethiopia

2. How much Potential Energy is gained when a 1250 N mass is raised a vertical distance of<br>35 m?​
vichka [17]

Potential Energy

The potential energy gained is 43750 J

Explanation:

Potential energy is the energy by virtue of an object's position relative to the ground ie, the height of the other object.

For example, an object has more potential energy when it is on top of a two-story building than it does resting on the ground. That's because the object's relative position to the Earth gives it more energy.

Potential Energy is defined as

Potential energy = Mass * height

Given Mass M = 1250 N

Given height h = 35 m

So the potential energy = 1250 * 35 = 43750 J

Thus the potential energy is 43750 J

Explain ONE political impact of irredentism, which is the creation of a new state out of the territory of existing states.
qwelly [4]
Irredentism is related to, but distinct from, secession. Irredentism is the process by which a part of an existing state breaks away and merges with another, whereas in secession merging does not take place. The importance of irredentism in international relations is based on the intersection between nationalism and the causes of war; because such a movement invariably means taking land from another state, irredentist claims have been known to provoke ethnic conflicts and territorial aggression. The continued discord between countries and states means that the potential for irredentist wars remains serious. The Admission to the Union Clause of the United States Constitution (often called the New States Clause) found at Article IV, Section 3, Clause 1, authorizes the U.S. Congress to admit new states into the Union (beyond the thirteen already in existence at the time the Constitution went into effect). The Constitution went into effect on June 21, 1788, after ratification by 9 of the 13 states, and the federal government began operations under it on March 4, 1789.[1] Since then, 37 states have been admitted into the Union. Each new state has been admitted on an equal footing with those already in existence.[2]

Of the 37 states admitted to the Union by Congress, all but six have been established within an existing U.S. organized incorporated territory. A state so created might encompass all or a portion of a territory. When the people of a territory or a region thereof have grown to a sufficient population and make their desire for statehood known to the federal government, in most cases Congress passed an enabling act authorizing the people of that territory or region to frame a proposed state constitution as a step toward admission to the Union. Although the use of an enabling act was a common historic practice, several states were admitted to the Union without one.

In many instances, an enabling act would detail the mechanism by which the territory would be admitted as a state following ratification of their constitution and election of state officers. Although the use of such an act is a traditional historic practice, several territories have drafted constitutions for submission to Congress absent an enabling act and were subsequently admitted. The broad outline for this process was established by the Land Ordinance of 1784 and the 1787 Northwest Ordinance, both of which predate the U.S. Constitution.
