History

Katarina [22]2 years ago
4 0

Jacob's Staff was invented in the 13th century as an aid in finding heights and distances. It was not until the 15th century that the German scientist Johannes Mueller popularized the instrument.


This was the age when the Europeans began exploring beyond the Mediterranean Sea. They needed better navigation tools so they could more accurately determine their latitude and longitude, and not run into too many rocks.


Jacob's Staff was shaped like a cross-bow. It had a main rod with a scale, and several cross pieces which were used to determine angles, either from the horizontal looking up (the "angle of elevation"), or perhaps between 2 objects.

Demand pull inflation when the demand for goods
PolarNik [594]

Answer:

Demand-Pull Inflation is a phenomenon where the demand for some service or good is greater than the supply. As the supply is not available at a certain moment, the seller raises the price of his goods, causing demand-pull inflation. This means that, when consumer demand increases, the seller must have prepared some additional supplies of the product. However, additional supplies are often unavailable, so other sellers raise their prices in order to earn more money on the demanded product.  

This phenomenon is caused by rapid economic growth, increased money supplies and it is often related to the products of the strong brand.

Agency: Who were the primary actors in Newark's rapid
olga55 [171]

Answer:

Seth Boyden and the ideas of manufacturing leather, railroads, and the first plastic.

Explanation:

Newark's rapid growth began in the early 19th century, much of it due to a Massachusetts transplant named Seth Boyden. Boyden came to Newark in 1815, and immediately began a torrent of improvements to leather manufacture, culminating in the process for making patent leather. Boyden's genius led to Newark's manufacturing nearly 90% of the nation's leather by 1870, bringing in $8.6 million in revenue to the city in that year alone. In 1824, Boyden, bored with leather, found a way to produce malleable iron. Newark also prospered by the construction of the Morris Canal in 1831. The canal connected Newark with the New Jersey hinterland, at that time a major iron and farm area. Railroads arrived in 1834 and 1835. A flourishing shipping business resulted, and Newark became the area's industrial center. By 1826, Newark's population stood at 8,017, ten times their 1776 number. The middle 19th century saw continued growth and diversification of Newark's industrial base. The first commercially successful plastic — Celluloid — was produced in a factory on Mechanic Street by John Wesley Hyatt. Hyatt's Celluloid found its way into Newark-made carriages, billiard balls, and dentures.

Read this outline for an argumentative essay about government. 1. People have different ideas about the role of government. A. T
-Dominant- [34]

Hello. You forgot the answer options. The options are:

In the past, the military and the FBI have prevented a number of terrorist attacks.   I still remember how it felt on September 11 when our country was attacked by terrorists.   Social services cannot provide the sense of security that a strong national defense can.   Social services provide food, health care, and other forms of assistance to millions of citizens each year.

Answer:

In the past, the military and the FBI have prevented a number of terrorist attacks.  

Explanation:

The outline of the argumentative essay reveals that the essay has as its main theme the role of the government and government institutions in promoting the protection of the population against internal or external terrorist attacks. One way to add a detail that serves as an affirmation and evidence to this theme is showing how the government security agencies have already been efficient in promoting social security against terrorist and criminal attacks. One way to do this is to add the phrase "In the past, the military and the FBI have prevented a number of terrorist attacks."
