Heading north, a dragonfly travels at a constant rate of 40 meters in 80 minutes. What is the dragonfly's velocit

Answer:

\(0.0083\ \text{m/s}\) north.

Explanation:

s = Displacement of the dragonfly = 40 meters north

t = Time taken by the dragonfly for the entire journey = 80 minutes = \(80\times 60=4800\ \text{seconds}\)

Velocity is given by

\(v=\dfrac{s}{t}\)

\(\Rightarrow v=\dfrac{40}{4800}\)

\(\Rightarrow v=0.0083\ \text{m/s}\)

The velocity of the dragonfly is \(0.0083\ \text{m/s}\) north.

With the deer antler, the right-handed twin demolished his brother. The left-handed twin died, but he didn't die. He was hurled off the edge of the earth by his brother. In this dark world below the earth, the left-handed twin still lives and reigns.

The right-handed twin lives in the Sky-World and he is content with the world he helped to create. The left-handed twin lives in the world below. He, too, is content with the world of men. He delights in the sounds of warfare and suffering. These two beings rule the world and look after the affairs of men. During the day people have rituals to honor the right-handed twin. At night they dance and sing for the left-handed twin.

Based on this excerpt, it is reasonable to conclude that
the right-handed twin hurt his brother but did not kill him.
the left-handed twin pretended to die but really survived.
neither twin could die because they were immortal gods.
the left-handed twin was immortal, but his brother was not.

Jack Kerouac, born in 1922 in Lowell, Massachusetts, was a groundbreaking writer. He invented a new style of prose, which is often referred to as "automatic writing" or "spontaneous prose." His works were heavily autobiographical; he captured life as he saw it and applied it to paper as if he were composing a jazz piece. The jazz style of music, which he was heavily inspired by, involves a variety of rhythms and unexpected interruptions of flow. Jack adapted this style and applied it to writing literature, hence the term "spontaneous prose." Jack broke grammar rules and created new ones, and due to his unconventional writing style, he was not accepted as a serious writer by critics and publishers for several years. Eventually, his style caught on and helped influence a generation of writers who belonged to what was called the Beat Generation. The term "beat" had many different connotations at the time, from "beat down" to "tired," mainly referring to their impression of society at the time. The term was even used as an abbreviation for "beatnik." However, members of this generation did not accept or use the term Beat Generation to define themselves. The main characteristic of this lifestyle was to live in the moment and write words down on paper spontaneously in order to capture experiences as they happened.

Kerouac was an educated man with a zest for life, and he eventually took to the road to experience a country that he believed was much more interesting than the suburbia that was becoming the norm in America. He was fascinated by Neal Cassady, a charismatic character, who was considered a genius and icon during the 1950s and 1960s. They took several cross-country road trips together in the 1950s, and these adventures became the basis for Kerouac’s most acclaimed work, On the Road. He wrote about his wild experiences and the people he met and presented the manuscript to his editor on a single roll of paper. The novel was initially rejected but then published in 1957. At the time, people thought this new style of Beat writing was simply a fad. However, Kerouac proved them wrong, and he continued to write and attain respect in the literary world. He published other novels such as The Dharma Bums, Big Sur, and The Subterraneans, just to name a few. Jack Kerouac died in 1969 at age 47, but his legacy lives on.

From "The Tyranny of Things" by Elizabeth Morris

Once upon a time, when I was very tired, I chanced to go away to a little house by the sea. "It is empty," they said, "but you can easily furnish it." Empty! Yes, thank Heaven! Furnish it? Heaven forbid! Its floors were bare, its walls were bare, its tables there were only two in the house were bare. There was nothing in the closets but books; nothing in the bureau drawers but the smell of clean, fresh wood; nothing in the kitchen but an oil stove, and a few a very few dishes; nothing in the attic but rafters and sunshine, and a view of the sea. After I had been there an hour there descended upon me a great peace, a sense of freedom, of in finite leisure. In the twilight I sat before the flickering embers of the open fire, and looked out through the open door to the sea, and asked myself, "Why?" Then the answer came: I was emancipated from things. There was nothing in the house to demand care, to claim attention, to cumber my consciousness with its insistent, unchanging companionship. There was nothing but a shelter, and outside, the fields and marshes, the shore and the sea. These did not have to be taken down and put up and arranged and dusted and cared for. They were not things at all, they were powers, presences.

And so I rested. While the spell was still unbroken, I came away. For broken it would have been, I know, had I not fled first. Even in this refuge the enemy would have pursued me, found me out, encompassed me.

If we could but free ourselves once for all, how simple life might become! One of my friends, who, with six young children and only one servant, keeps a spotless house and a soul serene, told me once how she did it. "My dear, once a month I give away every single thing in the house that we do not imperatively need. It sounds wasteful, but I don’t believe it really is. Sometimes Jeremiah mourns over missing old clothes, or back numbers of the magazines, but I tell him if he doesn’t want to be mated to a gibbering maniac he will let me do as I like."

The old monks knew all this very well. One wonders sometimes how they got their power; but go up to Fiesole, and sit a while in one of those little, bare, white-walled cells, and you will begin to understand. If there were any spiritual force in one, it would have to come out there.

I have not their courage, and I win no such freedom. I allow myself to be overwhelmed by the invading host of things, making fitful resistance, but without any real steadiness of purpose. Yet never do I wholly give up the struggle, and in my heart I cherish an ideal, remotely typified by that empty little house beside the sea.
