Answer:

According to Ptolemy, all the celestial objects such as the moon, the sun and other planets moves around the earth in a circular path. This means that the earth is located at the center of the solar system.

He made a combination of eccentricity and an epicyclic model in order to explain the motion of planets.

This concept was created because he noticed that some of the planets moves in the western direction, rather than in the eastward direction, with respect to the stars that are present in the sky.

You have studied the executive branch of government and the wide range of power, as well as the various roles of the head of tha

cupoosta [38]

Well used power role:

Obama asked Congress for approval of health reform, a key promise in his campaign and a legislative goal that aims to expand medical coverage to all US citizens. On July 14, 2009, Democrats in the House of Representatives presented a health reform bill and Obama had the expectation that Congress would authorize the plan before the end of the year. One of the components of the health system reform project is the creation of an optional insurance for those who do not have the possibility of accessing private insurance, by means of which it seeks to reduce expenses and improve the quality of public health. On September 9, at the extraordinary session of Congress, he delivered a speech in which he defended his proposal, also denied all the rumors that emerged in summer by the opposition, noting that the project has a cost of approximately 900 000 million of dollars in a period of ten years. On March 21, 2010, the House of Representatives finally approved sanitary reform - with amendments such as the prohibition of using federal funds to fund abortions - by 219 votes in favor and 212 against.

Role of Power that was not well used or could have improved:

On May 11, 2009 Obama replaced General David McKiernan as army top commander in Afghanistan with the former commander of the Special Forces, Gen. Stanley A. McChrystal, with the conviction that the experience of McChrystal would help bring security to Afghans and facilitate the use of anti-insurgency tactics. However, McChrystal submitted his resignation on June 23, 2010, due to the publication in Rolling Stone magazine of harsh criticism of the general and his team to the Obama Administration, for his management and direction of the war in Afghanistan, replaced by General David Petraeus.

antiseptic1488 [7]

One of the greatest factors in England's industrialization was
C) Access to coal.

England didn't have direct access to all resources, being an island nation, but it did have plenty of coal. At the time, coal was probably the most important element of industry, since most machines were steam powered and this was one of the most efficient resources at the time for harvesting steam power.

Someone know the Second Sino-Japanese War?

stellarik [79]

Answer:

The Second Sino-Japanese War (1937–1945) was a military conflict that was primarily waged

between the Republic of China and the Empire of Japan. The war made up the Chinese theater

of the wider Pacific Theater of the Second World War. The beginning of the war is

conventionally dated to the Marco Polo Bridge Incident on 7 July 1937, when a dispute

between Japanese and Chinese troops in Peking escalated into a full-scale invasion. This

full-scale war between the Chinese and the Empire of Japan is often regarded as the

beginning of World War II in Asia. In 2017 the Ministry of Education in the People's

Republic of China decreed that the term "eight-year war" in all textbooks should be

replaced by "fourteen-year war", with a revised starting date of 18 September 1931 provided

by the Japanese invasion of Manchuria. According to historian Rana Mitter, historians in

China are unhappy with the blanket revision, and (despite sustained tensions) the Republic

of China did not consider itself to be continuously at war with Japan over these six years.

The Tanggu Truce of 1933 officially ended the earlier hostilities in Manchuria while the

He-Umezu Agreement of 1935 acknowledged the Japanese demands to put an end to all anti-

Japanese organizations in China.

The war was the result of a decades-long Japanese imperialist policy to expand its

influence politically and militarily in order to secure access to raw material reserves,

food, and labor. The period after World War I brought about increasing stress on the

Japanese policy. Leftists sought universal suffrage and greater rights for workers[citation

needed]. Increasing textile production from Chinese mills was adversely affecting Japanese

production and the Great Depression brought about a large slowdown in exports. All of this

contributed to militant nationalism, culminating in the rise to power of a militarist

faction. This faction was led at its height by the Hideki Tojo cabinet of the Imperial Rule

Assistance Association under edict from Emperor Hirohito. In 1931, the Mukden Incident

helped spark the Japanese invasion of Manchuria. The Chinese were defeated and Japan

created a new puppet state, Manchukuo; many historians cite 1931 as the beginning of the

war. This view has been adopted by the PRC government. From 1931 to 1937, China and Japan

continued to skirmish in small, localized engagements, so-called "incidents".
