The Book of Dragons
Chapter III The Deliverers of Their Country, an excerpt
By E. Nesbit

It all began with Effie's getting something in her eye. It hurt very much indeed, and it felt something like a red-hot spark—only it seemed to have legs as well, and wings like a fly. Effie rubbed and cried—not real crying, but the kind your eye does all by itself without your being miserable inside your mind—and then she went to her father to have the thing in her eye taken out. Effie's father was a doctor, so of course he knew how to take things out of eyes.

When he had gotten the thing out, he said: "This is very curious." Effie had often got things in her eye before, and her father had always seemed to think it was natural—rather tiresome and naughty perhaps, but still natural. He had never before thought it curious.

Effie stood holding her handkerchief to her eye, and said: "I don't believe it's out." People always say this when they have had something in their eyes.

"Oh, yes—it's out," said the doctor. "Here it is, on the brush. This is very interesting."

Effie had never heard her father say that about anything that she had any share in. She said: "What?"

The doctor carried the brush very carefully across the room, and held the point of it under his microscope—then he twisted the brass screws of the microscope, and looked through the top with one eye.

"Dear me," he said. "Dear, dear me! Four well-developed limbs; a long caudal appendage; five toes, unequal in lengths, almost like one of the Lacertidae, yet there are traces of wings." The creature under his eye wriggled a little in the castor oil, and he went on: "Yes; a bat-like wing. A new specimen, undoubtedly. Effie, run round to the professor and ask him to be kind enough to step in for a few minutes."

"You might give me sixpence, Daddy," said Effie, "because I did bring you the new specimen. I took great care of it inside my eye, and my eye does hurt."

The doctor was so pleased with the new specimen that he gave Effie a shilling, and presently the professor stepped round. He stayed to lunch, and he and the doctor quarreled very happily all the afternoon about the name and the family of the thing that had come out of Effie's eye.

But at teatime another thing happened. Effie's brother Harry fished something out of his tea, which he thought at first was an earwig. He was just getting ready to drop it on the floor, and end its life in the usual way, when it shook itself in the spoon—spread two wet wings, and flopped onto the tablecloth. There it sat, stroking itself with its feet and stretching its wings, and Harry said: "Why, it's a tiny newt!"

The professor leaned forward before the doctor could say a word. "I'll give you half a crown for it, Harry, my lad," he said, speaking very fast; and then he picked it up carefully on his handkerchief.

"It is a new specimen," he said, "and finer than yours, Doctor."

It was a tiny lizard, about half an inch long—with scales and wings.

So now the doctor and the professor each had a specimen, and they were both very pleased. But before long these specimens began to seem less valuable. For the next morning, when the knife-boy was cleaning the doctor's boots, he suddenly dropped the brushes and the boot and the blacking, and screamed out that he was burnt.

And from inside the boot came crawling a lizard as big as a kitten, with large, shiny wings.

"Why," said Effie, "I know what it is. It is a dragon like the one St. George killed."

And Effie was right. That afternoon Towser was bitten in the garden by a dragon about the size of a rabbit, which he had tried to chase, and the next morning all the papers were full of the wonderful "winged lizards" that were appearing all over the country. The papers would not call them dragons, because, of course, no one believes in dragons nowadays—and at any rate the papers were not going to be so silly as to believe in fairy stories. At first there were only a few, but in a week or two the country was simply running alive with dragons of all sizes, and in the air you could sometimes see them as thick as a swarm of bees. They all looked alike except as to size. They were green with scales, and they had four legs and a long tail and great wings like bats' wings, only the wings were a pale, half-transparent yellow, like the gear-boxes on bicycles.

Based on the rising action in the bolded paragraphs, what do we know about Daddy? (5 points)

He is calm and curious.
He is angry and upset.
He is hysterical.
He is uninterested and bored.

A representation of the arrangement of valence electrons in an element, compound, or ion -  statement most completely describes a Lewis electron dot diagram. Hence, option (D) is correct.

What is Lewis electron dot diagram?

If the compound's molecular formula is known, electron dot structures or Lewis dot formulas can be drawn.

It describes the type of bond and the placement of the atoms within the molecule that are joined together. In honor of American chemist Gilbert Newton Lewis, molecules are depicted as having a Lewis electron dot structure or simply a Lewis structure.

Lewis dot structures, also known as electron dot structures, are schematics that show the interatomic chemical bonds in a molecule. Additionally, they show how many lone pairs there are overall in each of the atoms that make up the molecule. Common names for Lewis dot structures include electron dot structures and Lewis structures. Lewis described an acid as an electron pair acceptor, while a base is an electron pair giver.

What is projectile motion?

When a particle is hurled obliquely near the surface of the earth, it travels along a curved path while accelerating continuously in the direction of the planet's centre (we assume the particle stays close to the surface of the globe). Such a particle's motion is known as projectile motion, and its route is referred to as a projectile.

Two distinct rectilinear motions occur simultaneously in a projectile motion:

Uniform velocity along the x-axis is what causes the particle to move horizontally (ahead).Uniform acceleration along the y-axis is what causes the particle to move vertically (downwards).

When a ball is sent into the air at a certain speed, the only force acting on it is the acceleration caused by gravity (g).

Which of the balls will exert the smallest force on object A?Why

Answers

The 1kg ball would exert the smallest force.

As force = mass x gravity, this means that the smaller the mass (kg), the lesser the force.

When the mass is lighter (1kg):

Force = mass x gravity
Force = 1 x 9.8
Force = 9.8N

Compared to when the mass is heavier (10kg)

Force = mass x gravity
Force = 10 x 9.8
Force = 98N

Where this proves that the lighter the mass, the smaller the force exerted.

One ball of mass 0.600kg travelling 9.00m/s to the right collides head on elastically with a second ball of mass 0.300kg travelling 8.00m/s to the left.what are their velocities after collisions?

Answers

Let m₁ and v₁ denote the mass and initial velocity of the first ball, and m₂ and v₂ the same quantities for the second ball. Momentum is conserved throughout the collision, so

m₁ v₁ + m₂ v₂ = m₁ v₁' + m₂ v₂'

where v₁' and v₂' are the balls' respective velocities after the collision.

Kinetic energy is also conserved, so

1/2 m₁ v₁² + 1/2 m₂ v₂² = 1/2 m₁ (v₁')² + 1/2 m₂ (v₂')²

or

m₁ v₁² + m₂ v₂² = m₁ (v₁')² + m₂ (v₂')²

From the momentum equation, we have

(0.600 kg) (9.00 m/s) + (0.300 kg) (-8.00 m/s) = (0.600 kg) v₁' + (0.300 kg) v₂'

which simplifies to

10.0 m/s = 2 v₁' + v₂'

so that

v₂' = 10.0 m/s - 2 v₁'

From the energy equation, we have

(0.600 kg) (9.00 m/s)² + (0.300 kg) (-8.00 m/s)² = (0.600 kg) (v₁')² + (0.300 kg) (v₂')²

which simplifies to

67.8 J = (0.600 kg) (v₁')² + (0.300 kg) (v₂')²

or

226 m²/s² = 2 (v₁')² + (v₂')²

Substituting v₂' yields

226 m²/s² = 2 (v₁')² + (10.0 m/s - 2 v₁')²

which simplifies to

3 (v₁')² - (20.0 m/s) v₁' - 63.0 m²/s² = 0

Solving for v₁' using the quadratic formula gives two solutions,

v₁' ≈ -2.33 m/s   or   v₁' = 9.00 m/s

but the second solution corresponds to the initial conditions, so we omit that one.

Then the second ball has velocity

v₂' = 10.0 m/s - 2 (-2.33 m/s)

v₂' ≈ 14.7 m/s

In classical mechanics, kinetic energy (KE) is equal to half of an object's mass (1/2*m) multiplied by the velocity squared. For example, if a an object with a mass of 10 kg (m = 10 kg) is moving at a velocity of 5 meters per second (v = 5 m/s), the kinetic energy is equal to 125 Joules, or (1/2 * 10 kg) * 5 m/s2.

train travels 1/4of its total distance over half of its time with a constant velocity of 5m/s. calculate the average velocity​

Answers

Let D be the total distance (say in meters) traveled by the train and T the time (say in seconds) it takes to do so. (Assume the train moves in a straight line in only one direction.) Then the average velocity of the train as it covers this distance is

v (ave) = D/T

We're told the train can traverse a distance of D/4 in a matter of T/2 seconds if it moves at a speed of 5 m/s. This means

D/4 = (5 m/s) (T/2)

⇒   5 m/s = 1/2 D/T

⇒   v (ave) = D/T = 10 m/s
