Answer:

Ellis Peters is the "pen name" of Edith Pargeter. As Peters, she wrote mostly detective fiction and used other names for other genres. The Brother Medieval Mysteries is probably her best-known in this category and was made into a TV series, The Brother Cadfael Chronicles. Influenced by her own involvement in the Second World War as a WREN (Women's Royal Navy Service), Pargeter also wrote historical novels and, after a visit to Czechoslovakia, Pargeter translated Czech poetry and prose.

Edith Pargeter's short stories include The Purple Children which is about the British occupation of Cyprus. A young eighteen-year-old British sentry is on duty one evening and is he startled from a sleepy state by a local girl of about fifteen. He overhears her calling her cat and urges her to return home due to the curfew imposed on the town. She insists that she must find her cat because it runs away; her cat cannot be told to observe the curfew.  

The girl pleads with the sentry, certain she can find her cat if he will just let her through the gate. He is aware that she is close to tears and considers his "orders," thinking that he must treat the "natives politely," especially as the locals blatantly show their hatred. He decides that this "waif" could not possibly pose a threat and, although he doesn't intend to, he opens the gate and lets her through, staying close to her. Turning his back on the gate he is supposed to be protecting, he follows her. When he sees the cat, he is relieved but it takes a further ten minutes before they can corner it and catch it. She thanks him and almost immediately the girl's real purpose is revealed as a boy jumps down from the flagpole and he and the girl run away, leaving the sentry boy in the courtyard and a commotion around him because he fired his paintball gun to stop the "fugitives." The children have replaced the British flag with their own.

Q1:

In order to find the total momentum of the system, we first consider the initial stage when the can is at rest. The angular momentum of the water and the can is 0.

When the can starts moving, the water in the can also starts escaping. Therefore we can say that the momentum of escaping water and momentum of moving can cancel each other out.

Hence the net  momentum or total momentum of the system is equal to 0.

Q4:

Examples of Newton's third law:

1. When a player kicks a football, it moves in the forward direction which is considered as the action. At the same time, the ball pushes back the toe which is considered as a reaction. Both forces are equal in magnitude put opposite in the direction.

2. The Earth's gravitational force is a huge example of Newtons third law. Consider a case of chandelier hanging from the roof. The Earth's gravitational force pulls the chandelier down which is an action. whereas, the same time, the tension in the string attached to roof also pulls the chandelier with equal amount of energy. This is the reaction force.

3. Consider another case of water shooting out of a fire hose. The water moves out of the hose in one direction, which is the action. The force with which the waters moves out pf the hose, pushes the hose in backward direction which is the reaction. In all the examples you can observes that both action and reaction forces are acting in opposite direction but are equal in magniture.

just olya [345]

Answer: A. She wants to talk to her mom about her worries and is hesitant to approach her.

The poem "Hanging Fire" by Audre Lorde is meant to give us a glimpse into a teenage girl's mind. The author jumps from one thought to the next in a desperate fashion. The thoughts seem unrelated and scrambled, but they are all concerned with topics that would worry a fourteen year old. The style is meant to give us the feeling of confusion and worry that is common among teenagers.

However, at the end of each nervous train of thought, the girl notices her mother is in the bedroom with the door closed. It implies that she would like some help, and she would like to turn to her mother. But there is some slight difficulty, which is the closed door. However, the obstacle is not difficult enough to put her off the idea completely, which is why she keeps noticing it. This ambivalence leaves her in a constant state of hesitation, but she does not approach her mother in the end.
