Lord Strawberry, a nobleman, collected birds. He had the finest aviary in Europe, so large that eagles did not find it uncomfort

able, so well laid out that both humming birds and snowbuntings had a climate that suited them perfectly. But for many years the finest set of apartments remained empty, with just a label saying: "PHOENIX. Habitat: Arabia." Many authorities on bird life had assured Lord Strawberry that the phoenix is a fabulous bird, or that the breed was long extinct. Lord Strawberry was unconvinced: his family had always believed in phoenixes. At intervals he received from his agents (together with statements of their expenses) birds which they declared were the phoenix but which turned out to be orioles, macaws, turkey buzzards dyed orange, etc., or stuffed cross-breeds, ingeniously assembled from various plumages. Finally Lord Strawberry went himself to Arabia, where, after some months, he found a phoenix, won its confidence, caught it, and brought it home in perfect condition.
It was a remarkably fine phoenix, with a charming character – affable to the other birds in the aviary and much attached to Lord Strawberry. On its arrival in England it made a greatest stir among ornithologists, journalists, poets, and milliners, and was constantly visited. But it was not puffed by these attentions, and when it was no longer in the news, and the visits fell off, it showed no pique or rancour. It ate well, and seemed perfectly contented. It costs a great deal of money to keep up an aviary. When Lord Strawberry died he died penniless. The aviary came on the market. In normal times the Rarer birds, and certainly the phoenix, would have been bid for by the trustees of Europe’s great zoological societies, or by private persons in the U.S.A.; but as it happened Lord Strawberry died just after a world war, when both money and bird-seed were hard to come by (indeed the cost of bird-seed was one of the things which had ruined Lord Strawberry). The London Times urged in a leader that the phoenix be bought for the London Zoo, saying that a nation of bird-lovers had a moral right to own such a rarity; and a fund, called the Strawberry Phoenix Fund, was opened. Students, naturalists, and school-children contributed according to their means; but their means were small, and there were no large donations. So Lord Strawberry’s executors (who had the death duties to consider) closed with the higher offer of Mr. Tancred Poldero, owner and proprietor of Poldero’s Wizard Wonderworld. For quite a while Mr. Poldero considered his phoenix a bargain. It was a civil and obliging bird, and adapted itself readily to its new surroundings. It did not cost much to feed, it did not mind children; and though it had no tricks, Mr. Poldero supposed it would soon pick up some. The publicity of the Strawberry Phoenix Fund was now most helpful. Almost every contributor now saved up another half-crown in order to see the phoenix. Others, who had not contributed to the fund, even paid double to look at it on the five-shilling days. But then business slackened. The phoenix was as handsome as ever, and amiable; but, as Mr. Poldero said, it hadn’t got Udge. Even at popular prices the phoenix was not really popular. It was too quiet, too classical. So people went instead to watch the antics of the baboons, or to admire the crocodile who had eaten the woman. One day Mr. Poldero said to his manager, Mr. Ramkin: "How long since any fool paid to look at the phoenix?" "Matter of three weeks," replied Mr. Ramkin. "Eating his head off," said Mr. Poldero. "Let alone the insurance. Seven shillings a week it costs me to insure the Archbishop of Canterbury." "The public don’t like him. He’s too quiet for them, that’s the trouble. Won’t mate nor nothing. And I’ve tried him with no end of pretty pollies, ospreys, and Cochin-Chinas, and the Lord knows what. But he won’t look at them." "Wonder if we could swap him for a livelier one," said Mr. Poldero. "Impossible. There’s only one of him at a time." "Go on!" "I mean it. Haven’t you ever read what it says on the label?" They went to the phoenix’s cage. It flapped its wings politely, but they paid no attention.

g Write a program that prompts the user for an integer n between 1 and 100. If the number is outside the range, it prints an err
grin007 [14]

Answer:

The cpp program is given below.

#include<iostream>

#include<iomanip>

using namespace std;

int main() {

   

   // variables declared

   int n;

   int sum=0;

   float avg;

   

   do

   {

       // user input taken for number    

       cout<< "Enter a number between 1 and 100 (inclusive): ";

       cin>>n;

       

       if(n<1 || n>100)

           cout<<" Number is out of range. Enter valid number."<<endl;

       

   }while(n<1 || n>100);

   

   cout<<" "<<endl;

   

   // printing even numbers between num and 50  

   for(int num=1; num<=n; num++)

   {

       sum = sum + num;

   }

   

   avg = sum/n;

   

   // displaying sum and average

   cout<<"Sum of numbers between 1 and "<<n<<" is "<<sum<<endl;

   cout<<"Average of numbers between 1 and "<<n<<" is ";

   printf("%.2f", avg);

   

       return 0;

}

OUTPUT

Enter a number between 1 and 100 (inclusive): 123

Number is out of range. Enter valid number.

Enter a number between 1 and 100 (inclusive): 56

 

Sum of numbers between 1 and 56 is 1596

Average of numbers between 1 and 56 is 28.00

Explanation:

The program is explained below.

1. Two integer variables are declared to hold the number, n, and to hold the sum of numbers from 1 to n, sum. The variable sum is initialized to 0.

2. One float variable, avg, is declared to hold average of numbers from 1 to n.

3. User input is taken for n inside do-while loop. The loop executes till user enters value between 1 and 100. Otherwise, error message is printed.

4. The for loop executes over variable num, which runs from 1 to user-entered value of n.

5. Inside for loop, all the values of num are added to sum.

sum = sum + num;

6. Outside for loop, average is computed and stored in avg.

avg = sum/n;

7. The average is printed with two numbers after decimal using the following code.

printf("%.2f", avg);

8. The program ends with return statement.

9. All the code is written inside main() and no classes are involved.

Answer:

Explanation:

Rezonans, Obiekt bez wibracji ma tendencję do robienia tego z określoną częstotliwością zwaną naturalną lub rezonansową częstotliwością obiektu. (Ta częstotliwość zależy od wielkości, kształtu i składu przedmiotu). Taki przedmiot będzie silnie wibrował, gdy zostanie poddany wibracjom lub regularnym impulsom o częstotliwości równej lub bardzo zbliżonej do swojej częstotliwości naturalnej. Zjawisko to nazywa się rezonansem. Dzięki rezonansowi stosunkowo słaba wibracja w jednym obiekcie może powodować silne wibracje w innym. Analogicznie termin rezonans jest również używany do opisania zjawiska, w którym oscylujący prąd elektryczny jest wzmacniany sygnałem elektrycznym o określonej częstotliwości.

Przykład rezonansu zapewnia silnik, który powoduje wibracje mebla w innej części tego samego domu. Drgania te występują, ponieważ częstotliwość naturalna mebli jest równa częstotliwości drgań ustawianych przez silnik. Mówi się, że meble rezonują z silnikiem. Rezonans można również zaobserwować w samochodzie, gdy pewna popielniczka Partan, na przykład wibruje, gdy samochód jedzie z określoną prędkością. Popielniczka rezonuje z wibracjami silnika przy tej prędkości.

Rezonans mechaniczny może wytwarzać wibracje wystarczająco silne, aby zniszczyć obiekt, w którym występują. Na przykład żołnierze maszerujący nad mostem mogą wytwarzać ekstremalne wibracje z częstotliwością naturalną mostu i roztrzaskiwać go na części. Z tego powodu żołnierze przebijają się, by przejść przez most. W 1940 r. Podmuchy wiatru w Puget Sound Narrows w Tacoma w stanie Waszyngton spowodowały, że most wiszący wibruje z naturalną częstotliwością i most zawalił się.

W muzyce rezonans służy do zwiększenia intensywności (głośności) dźwięku. Na przykład stosunkowo słabe wibracje wytwarzane na końcu rurki organowej powodują, że kolumna powietrza w rurze wibruje w rezonansie, znacznie zwiększając głośność dźwięku. Zasada ta dotyczy także głosu ludzkiego, w którym wibracje strun głosowych są wzmacniane przez wibracje rezonansowe w kanałach ustnych i nosowych.

Rezonans elektryczny służy do strojenia radiotelefonów i telewizorów. Strojenie polega na ustanowieniu obwodu o częstotliwości rezonansowej równej przydzielonej częstotliwości żądanej stacji.

In the 2018-2019 softball season, Allison hit the ball 28 out of 67 times, this included fouls. What was her percentage
ruslelena [56]

Answer:

Allison missed 58.21% of the times.

Explanation:

The first step is to divide 28 by 67 to get the answer in decimal form:

28 / 67 = 0.4179

Then, we multiplied the answer from the first step by one hundred to get the answer as a percentage:

0.4179 * 100 = 41.79%

Then 100(%) - 41.79(%) = 58.21%
