Western Civilization is forever indebted to the people of ancient Greece and Rome. Among the numerous contributions these societies made are in the fields of art, literature and philosophy; however, perhaps their greatest gift to future generations was the modern perception of government. The contemporary idea of democracy, while borne out of the political struggles in the city of Athens, came to fruition in the Roman Republic, surviving, despite the constant interference of the emperor, through the Roman Empire. Although the present definition of democracy has changed considerably, one must still recognize its early evolution in that eternal city, Rome.
From Monarchy to Representation
The Roman Republic emerged out of what one historian called “the ashes of the monarchy.” Years underneath the unyielding yoke of a king taught the people of Rome that they had to safeguard against the rule, and possible oppression, of one individual. The real authority or imperium of the republic, and later empire, was to be divided among three basic elements - elected non-hereditary magistrates, a Senate to advise and consent, and popular assemblies. Unfortunately for many people in Rome, in the early stages of the Republic, power lay solely in the hands of the elite, the old landowning families or patricians. The remainder and largest share of the city’s population - the plebeians - had few if any rights. This unequal division of power would not last very long.
As we know that mass of the box is given as
m = 9.5 kg
acceleration of the box is given as
so by Newton's II law we can say
now we can substitute all the values in it
So it required 9.5 N force to slide it
Answer:
0.39 km west
Explanation:
The position of Runner A is:
x = -5.7 + 8.8 t
The position of Runner B is:
x = 4.2 − 7.6 t
When the positions are equal:
-5.7 + 8.8 t = 4.2 − 7.6 t
16.4 t = 9.9
t = 0.604
Plug into either equation to find the position at this time:
x = -5.7 + 8.8 (0.604)
x = -0.39
The runners are 0.39 km west of the flagpole when they meet.
Answer:
C. Weight is mass times the acceleration of gravity.
Explanation:
Weight is the force exerted by gravity. Force is equal to mass times acceleration.
