Roger Bannister: The Barrier Breaker
Introduction
How do you overcome obstacles that seem impossible? Sir Roger Bannister, the first man to break the four-minute-mile record, knew what it was like to break barriers.
Learning a Passion
Roger Bannister was born in Harrow, England, in 1929. Since his parents couldn't afford to send him to college, he worked to win scholarships to study medicine at Oxford. Bannister had two loves: studying medicine and running track. He worked hard to do well at both. Because of his studies, Bannister had less time for track practice than other athletes. Most athletes trained at least six days a week. Bannister trained only two to three times a week. In the 1952 Olympic Games, Bannister ran the 1500m race but finished fourth. Many said this was due to his lack of training. Bannister decided it was time to get serious. He focused on doing what everyone in the world thought was impossible. He wanted to break the four-minute-mile barrier.
Setting a Goal
No one in history had ever run a mile in less than four minutes, although several had tried. For decades, physicians believed that running a mile too fast would cause heart failure. Bannister knew he could set a new world record by working hard. Bannister believed that pushing himself beyond the pain would make him a winner. That is just what Bannister did on May 6, 1954, at Iffley Road Track in Oxford. On a cold, wet track, Roger Bannister broke the four-minute-mile barrier with a time of 3:59.4. Two other runners helped him set a fast pace. Then Bannister relied on his training to run the first three laps of the track in 3:01. During the final lap of the race against the clock, Bannister knew he could finish the race in less than 59 seconds. He broke away from the other runners and flew down the last two curves of the track at record speed. As he crossed the finish line, he collapsed into the arms of his friend Reverend Nicholas Stacey. Bannister was out of breath and out of energy, but he knew he had broken the world record. Bannister accomplished a great moment in history that day.
After breaking the four-minute-mile barrier, Bannister competed in a few more races. He ran his personal record of 3:43.8 in the 1500m in the European Championship. That was Bannister's last race. In August of 1954, he retired at the age of 25 to focus on what he considered his true contribution to society—his research in the field of neurology, the study of the nerves and the nervous system.
Making a Difference
In 1975, two decades after his feat, Roger Bannister was knighted by the Sports Council of England. He had done what no man thought was possible. However, Bannister knew his athletic glory was fleeting. He felt that his work as a neurologist was the real accomplishment of his life. For over 40 years, he worked in neurology, helping patients who suffered serious neurological disorders. To honor his work and dedication as a neurologist, St. Mary's Hospital in London named a lecture hall after Dr. Bannister. In the lecture hall, the famous stopwatch used to time Bannister's mile is on display. In July of 2012, Bannister was honored to be elected as one of the Olympic torchbearers. He carried the flame into the Oxford track stadium that was named for him. Of his neurology career and his track achievements, as the greatest runner ever, Bannister claims that working hard is the secret to his success.

What can be inferred by referring to the timeline?
A.
Bannister was more well known as a neurologist than as a track and field star.
B.

C.
Despite retiring from track and field at a young age, Bannister was still involved with sports throughout his life.
D.
After retiring from track and field at a young age, Bannister continued to run.
I think the answer is C cuz it just makes the most sense off of the article. Hope this helps!

1. What are some ways in which materials affect how light is transmitted?
3. In order for an object to appear white, which wave lengths must the light contain and the object reflect?
4. If you are a firefighter searching a smokefilled apartment. Would you want to use a stronger ligt to help you see better? Why or Why not.
6.If you focus a red light, a green light, and a blue light on the same part of a black curtain, what color will the curtain appear to be? Why?
Answer:
You have read that EM waves can interact with a material medium in
the same ways that mechanical waves do. Three forms of interaction
play an especially important role in how people see light. One form is
reflection. Most things are visible because they reflect light. The two
other forms of interaction are transmission and absorption.
(trans-MIHSH-uhn) is the passage of an EM wave
through a medium. If the light reflected from objects did not pass
through the air, windows, or most of the eye, we could not see the
objects. (uhb-SAWRP-shun) is the disappearance of an
EM wave into the medium. Absorption affects how things look, because
it limits the light available to be reflected or transmitted.
Explanation:
Transparent (trans-PAIR-uhnt) materials allow most of the light
that strikes them to pass through. It is possible to see objects
through a transparent material. Air, water, and clear glass are transparent. Transparent materials are used for items such as windows,
light bulbs, thermometers, sandwich bags, and clock faces.
Translucent (trans-LOO-suhnt) materials transmit some light, but
they also cause it to spread out in all directions. You can see light
through translucent materials, but you cannot see objects clearly
through them. Some examples are lampshades, frosted light bulbs,
frosted windows, sheer fabrics, and notepaper.
Opaque (oh-PAYK) materials do not allow any light to pass
through them, because they reflect light, absorb light, or both.
Heavy fabrics, construction paper, and ceramic mugs are opaque.
Shiny materials may be opaque mainly because they reflect light.
Other materials, such as wood and rock, are opaque mainly
because they absorb light.
1. Transmission of Light
Some materials have a low light-absorption rate this means that they are excellent at light transmission. Some of those materials are water, air, and glass. Note that their common quality is transparency.
When light waves go through the boundary between different matter, they are said to be transmitted. When some of the light that travels through that object is partially absorbed, the material is said to be translucent. Examples of translucent objects are curtains, window blinds, colored glass, lampshades, etc.
In pure physics terms, when vibrations of electrons are transported onto neighboring atoms on the other side of the object, such vibrations or frequencies of light have been transmitted, and that object that carries out the transportation is said to be transparent.
If however, at the surface of the material the electrons are reemitted after a short period of vibration, then the light wave is said to have been reflected. Objects which do not absorb but reflect light are said to be opaque. Examples of opaque objects are silver and gold.
All black surfaces absorb light.
2. Light Spectrum:
If an object appears white, it means that all the visible wavelengths of light that shine on it are reflected back.
3. Light for Navigating Smoky terrain:
The best forms of light for navigating a fire and smoke situation are Red LEDs, Infrared, and Thermal Imaging.
Stronger lights cannot necessarily cut through smoke because smoke contains so many suspended particles and or matter. These particles absorb most of the light making it difficult to see through them.
Firefighters and Military personnel use special devices called Foward-Looking Infrared Radiation (FLIC) which is able to identify infrared radiations emitted from a heat source and produces a live feed video output.

How did the cotton gin affect the Southern economy? Check all that apply.
It increased the demand for enslaved laborers.
It increased the speed at which cotton could be produced.
It increased the growth of farms and plantations.
It increased the demand for cotton.
It increased the demand for skilled workers.
To understand the effects of the cotton gin, one must understand why the cotton gin was created. The cotton gin was created by Eli Whitney that essentially featured a hollowed box in which contained a turn-based set of razors that are used to remove the seed more easily from the cotton itself. This was created in the hopes that the South can potentially get rid of slaves as it helped speed up the process, but instead it caused the south to buy even more slaves to up their profits. Essentially, your choices will be:
- It increased the demand for enslaved labors.
As the cotton gin allowed for faster production of product cotton from raw cotton, more owners tried to maximize profits by deploying multiple gins and large amounts of slaves to plant, process, and finally sell the cotton.
- It increased the growth of farms and plantations.
Faster processing speeds allowed for even more land usages, resulting in a larger yield and finished product.
Why it is not:
- It increased the speed at which cotton could be produced.
You cannot control how fast cotton grows on a plant, rather, it simply controlled how fast cotton is processed, rather than produced. If wording is terrible, this may be a choice, but mother nature controls when cotton ripes for picking, rather than a cotton gin, which processes the finished product of the cotton.
- It increased the demand for cotton.
Technically this can be a choice, but they got the steps switched. It was because of a greater demand for cotton that the cotton gin was created. The cotton gin was a effect rather than a need.
- It increased the demand for skilled workers.
The cotton gin did not need skilled workers to use. Most plantation owners who owned slaves allowed the slaves to use the gin to maximize profits.

A European captain kidnapped Tisquantum event happened first. Thus, option B is correct.
What is an event?The process through which something is happening might be referred to as the event. This implies that the event will involve the current situation. This defines the happening of the event and how the event has taken place.
It is thought that the Wampanoag subsequently kidnapped Tisquantum because they were wary of his strong friendship with Thomas Dermer. Thomas Hunt, another English missionary, abducted Tisquantum and enslaved him in the city of Málaga after trafficking them to Spain.
Tisquantum was one of several prisoners that the neighborhood monks purchased with an eye toward educating and evangelizing them. Therefore, option B is the correct option.
