Two ideas that people once thought imposible even if they didnt violate laws of physics were-

  • Idea of human flying
  • Idea of breaking the sonic barrier

Explanation:

Neil Tyson says that the idea of flying and breaking of the sonic barrier was earlier considered impossible, even if they did not specifically violate any laws of Physics.

The idea of flying had grown as an envy component in humans on seeing birds fly. Kelvin in his essay had argued for a machine that could fly and was heavier than air.

Similarly, the idea of breaking the Sonic boom was earlier considered to be impossible, but no physics law prevented it from happening. E.g. The bullets fired from the guns were travelling at a rate faster than the speed of the sound. However, after the Bell aircraft broke the sonic barrier, it was widely believed that the barrier can be broken.

Reread lines 20-21. What is the meaning of these lines in terms<br>of Whitman's extended metaphor?​
Sliva [168]

Answer:

In "O Captain My Captain" by Whitman, The extended metaphor of the poem compares President Lincoln to a captain steering the "ship of state" which means guiding the union through the civil war.

Explanation:

An extended metaphor means; A metaphor that unfolds across multiple lines or paragraphs of a text, making use of multiple interrelated metaphors in an overarching one. The "captain' of the title however, becomes less essential to the progressive success and unity of the nation as it seemed in the beginning. because at first the "captain" (President Lincoln) is seen as entirely responsible for the safe return of the ship home.

But, the citizens continue to rejoice after their captain has fallen, they did not let the grief of the assassination on the president stop them from continuing their celebration as well as moving on with their lives.

Compare and contrast two types of workplace motivation
Firlakuza [10]

One of the main reasons why people are motivated to do a job well is the sense of <em>achievement</em> they get from it. Achievement is the feeling of pride that comes from knowing you have done your job well.

A second type of motivation that is common in the workplace is that of <em>power</em>. Some people get a lot of pleasure out of having power and authority. This is not necessarily a bad thing, as sometimes these people are particularly good at directing others and can make good managers.

Both types of motivation are common, and they can be very important in the workplace. However, the sense of achievement can be created by the person individually, and requires little group work. On the other hand, the motivation of power depends on the type of interaction the person has with others.
