Building of canals reduced travel time. why

Answer:

It’s not the travel time, it’s the increase in efficiency, smoothness and reliability. But travel time was also speeded up, in particular because of the directness, allowing goods to go almost from door to door, instead of from town to town.

In Britain, when canals were first built, before roads or railways there were only the rough rural roads. Often impassable to wagons or coaches because of mud in winter, they were frequently reduced to being used only by packhorses.

But where a packhorse could only carry a couple of hundred pounds, and a wagon maybe a ton, a horse towing a canal boat could easily pull thirty tons or more. Slowly, but steadily.

I’m talking here of Britain, and in particular England, because it’s in England that mass canal-building took off.

There had been efficient navigations in the past (the most spectacular being the Canal du Midi in France in the 1680s, and China’s Grand Canal.) And they were larger in scale and far more efficient in carrying capacity than Britain’s modest canals.

But the explosion of Britain’s canal building, starting about 1760, happened precisely because they were small in scale, easier to drive through the countryside, and not dependent on the water large rivers of the big continents.

Indeed, the small scale meant they could be local - to the extent of running through towns and even in many cases right into factories.

They could thus act as ‘conveyor belts’ between factories. It’s this convenience that meant a small boat could deliver cargo (raw materials or coal or components from one factory to another, hugely speeding up delivery.

An example is in Birmingham, England, which went from sleepy farming town to one of the world’s great manufacturing cities in a couple of generations because of the 160 miles of small-scale canal navigations.

That was the significance of travelling time. Not the speed of travel, but the ability to ship around the country without having to tranship on the outskirts of a town.

Explanation:

남북 전쟁이 끝날 때 노예 제도가 폐지되었을 때 남부 주에서는 백인 우월주의를 유지하기위한 법인 블랙 코드를 만들었습니다.

흑인 코드는 해방 된 노예를 경제적으로 무력화 시키려고 시도했으며, 아프리카 계 미국인들은 농장에서 계속 일하고 남부 사회 내에서 인종적 계층의 지배를 받도록 강요했습니다.

블랙 코드는 의회에서 급진적 인 공화주의의 새로운 물결을 불러 일으켰고 결국 인종 평등을 헌법에 안치하는 방향으로 움직였습니다. 그러나 블랙 코드는 또한 Jim Crow 법률의 선례를 설정합니다.

블랙 코드

남북 전쟁이 끝나자 남부 주에서는 총칭하여 블랙 코드로 알려진 일련의 차별적 인 주법을 통과시키기 시작했습니다. 법률은 주마다 내용과 심각도가 다양하지만 (일부 법률은 실제로 사람들에게 법정에서 결혼하거나 증언 할 수있는 권리를 부여했습니다.) 이러한 규범은“특이한 제도." 법률은 자유민의 시민 참여를 제한함으로써 백인 우월주의를 성문화했습니다. 이 법규는 그들에게 투표권, 배심원 복무 권, 무기를 소유하거나 소지 할 권리, 그리고 어떤 경우에는 토지를 임대하거나 임대 할 권리까지 박탈했습니다.

노예 제도는 전쟁 이전에이 지역에서 경제적 안정의 기둥이었습니다. 이제 블랙 코드는 자유 노동 체제의 파사드 아래에 전전 경제 구조를 재창조하여 동일한 안정성을 확보했다. 흑인 법규 내에서 결정된 새로운“견습”법을 고수하면서 판사는 많은 젊은 아프리카 계 미국인 고아를 백인 농장 소유주에게 묶어 놓고 강제로 일하게했습니다. 성인 자유민은 종종 이전 소유주였던 고용주와 계약을 체결해야했습니다. 이러한 계약은 아프리카 계 미국인들이 한 명 이상의 고용주를 위해 일하는 것을 막았고, 따라서 그들이받은 매우 낮은 임금이나 열악한 근로 조건에 긍정적 인 영향을 미쳤습니다. :))

a 62 kg wave boarder is being pulled by a boat with a force of 124N. What is the acceleration of the wave boarder
vfiekz [6]

Answer:

Acceleration = 2m/s^2

Explanation:

Given

Force = 124N

Mass = 62\ kg

Required

Determine the acceleration

This will be calculated using force formula:

Force = Mass * Acceleration

Substitute values for Force and Mass

124N = 62kg * Acceleration

Divide both sides by 62kg

Acceleration = \frac{124N}{62kg}

Acceleration = 2m/s^2

<em>Hence, the wave boarder accelerates at </em>2m/s^2<em></em>

morpeh [17]

Mnemonic technique is the correct answer.

Mnemonic is a very effective memory technique that helps people to remember important words, a list of things or larger pieces of information through association. Martha uses this simple technique by rhyming items, but she could also use humor, exaggeration, and symbols to help her learn and enhance memory.
