New York state wildlife expert Richard Thomas found that a woodchuck could (and does) chuck around 35 cubic feet of dirt in the course of digging a burrow. Thomas reasoned that if a woodchuck could chuck wood, he would chuck an amount equivalent to the weight of the dirt, or 700 pounds.

Answer:

I'll refer to a wood chuck as 'WC' to lessen the confusion. What this means is WC usually can't throw wood, but if they could, how much wood could they throw?

Essentially, how much wood can WC throw if it was able to throw things.

Hope that this helps!

Why are Frederick the Great of Prussia and Catherine the Great of Russia considered "enlightened despots"?
Zolol [24]
They are considered to be enlightened despots because they still ruled absolutely, but they did implement many things that came from the west and was a part of the enlightenment philosophy. They were like benevolent dictators, they did what they wanted but it was usually a good thing for the people.

Put in chronological order:  Tetrarchy, Republic, Principate, Etruscan kings.  What marked each period?
postnew [5]
<span>1. Etruscan Kings: The founding of the city of Rome, and the consolidation of power by the domination of neighbouring tribes. The tyranny of the Etruscan kings is what led to the founding of the republic. 2. Republic: The period where Rome's leaders were elected by the citizens of the republic on a yearly basis. This period is where Rome came to dominate the mediterranean through conquest and dominance. 3. Principate: period where Rome was ruled over by single emperors, who often tried to keep the illusion of the republic alive. 4. Tetrarchy: The tetrarchy was the period near the end of Rome's dominance where there were four different leaders of Rome, usually posted in different regions near Rome's frontier in order to defend the empire. The tetrarchy collapsed and eventually lead to the empire splitting into East and West.</span>

Why would the basic nature of humans be a topic of discussion for these philosophers?(Thomas Hobbes,John Locke,Charles-Louis Mon
Reptile [31]

Answer: Jean-Jacques Rousseau was a Genevan philosopher, writer and composer. His political philosophy influenced the progress of the Enlightenment throughout Europe, as well as aspects of the French Revolution and the development of modern political, economic and educational thought.

Explanation:

Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712—1778)

Jean-Jacques Rousseau was one of the most influential thinkers during the Enlightenment in eighteenth century Europe. His first major philosophical work, A Discourse on the Sciences and Arts, was the winning response to an essay contest conducted by the Academy of Dijon in 1750. In this work, Rousseau argues that the progression of the sciences and arts has caused the corruption of virtue and morality. This discourse won Rousseau fame and recognition, and it laid much of the philosophical groundwork for a second, longer work, The Discourse on the Origin of Inequality. The second discourse did not win the Academy’s prize, but like the first, it was widely read and further solidified Rousseau’s place as a significant intellectual figure. The central claim of the work is that human beings are basically good by nature, but were corrupted by the complex historical events that resulted in present day civil society. Rousseau’s praise of nature is a theme that continues throughout his later works as well, the most significant of which include his comprehensive work on the philosophy of education, the Emile, and his major work on political philosophy, The Social Contract: both published in 1762. These works caused great controversy in France and were immediately banned by Paris authorities. Rousseau fled France and settled in Switzerland, but he continued to find difficulties with authorities and quarrel with friends. The end of Rousseau’s life was marked in large part by his growing paranoia and his continued attempts to justify his life and his work. This is especially evident in his later books, The Confessions, The Reveries of the Solitary Walker, and Rousseau: Judge of Jean-Jacques.
