The statistical majority of Kalenjin are nominally Christian, but many still follow traditional beliefs and practices. They believed in one god, with many names, identified with the sun and now believed to be identical to the Christian God. Prayers were addressed primarily to God. The oiik (sing. olindet ), or spirits of dead ancestors, were also believed able to intervene in human life. They were occasionally, but not systematically, propitiated. Thunder was another named supernatural being. Inchoate evil spirits were believed to lurk on pathways, especially at night, and cause harm.

Was the economy good or bad in the 1920s?

andrew-mc [135]

In the United States the economy was very good throughout most of the 1920s (it was often referred to as the "roaring 20s" for this reason). However much of this prosperity proved to be built on a flawed economic foundation, which helped lead to the Great Depression.

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:

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