The italian City-states were in a central___ for trade. Fill in the blank

1 answer:

5 0

he Italian city-states were a political phenomenon of small independent states mostly in the central and northern Italian peninsula between the 9th and 15th centuries.

After the fall of the Western Roman Empire, urban settlements in Italy generally enjoyed a greater continuity than in the rest of western Europe. Many of these towns were survivors of earlier Etruscan, Umbrian and Roman towns which had existed within the Roman Empire. The republican institutions of Rome had also survived. Some feudal lords existed with a servile labour force and huge tracts of land, but by the 11th century, many cities, including Venice, Milan, Florence, Genoa, Pisa, Lucca, Cremona, Siena, Perugia, Spoleto, Todi, Terni, and many others, had become large trading metropoles, able to obtain independence from their formal sovereigns.

Why did the southern states being passed jim crow laws when reconstruction ended

AlexFokin [52]

They wanted to create laws that didn't directly interfere with the laws that had been put forth by the government. Therefore they created laws that required 'humanly' things of people that the blacks wouldn't have had the chance to do. As an example, if you were to apply for a job your grandfather had to have also been employed. For more whites, this wasn't an issue. But for blacks, their grandparents may not have been in America, and if they were, they were most likely slaves.

jake pushes a heavy box across a carpeted floor.Name three forces that act on the box, and explain how you know these are unbale

Maurinko [17]

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:

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