The conflict between patricians and plebeians was not about equal citizenship. The citizen status was the same for all Roman citizens. What the rich plebeians fought for was access to the offices of state and the senate, and power-sharing with the patricians who had monopolised the mentioned positions and political power at the beginning of the Republic. This was a gradual process. Some landmarks were:

· In 367 BC the lex (law) Licinia-Sextia law made the plebeians eligible to one of the two posts of consul (the two annually elected heads of the city and the army).

· In 356 BC the first plebeian dictator was appointed

· In 351 BC the first plebeian censor was elected

· In 342 BC the lex Genucia established that every year one of the two consuls had to be a plebeian.

· In 339 BC the lex Publilia law made laws passed by the vote of the plebeian council (plebiscites) binding on all citizens, including the patricians and not only on the plebeians. Another lex Publilia established that one of the censors had to be a plebeian.

· In 336 BC the first plebeian praetor (chief justice) was elected.

· In 330 BC the plebeians were given access to two important priestly colleges

· In 287 BC the lex Hortensia ruled that the senate could issue a ruling against a law of the ground of technicalities (sentatum consultum) before a bill was submitted to the vote of the plebeian council instead of after the vote. This removed the senate's power to obstruct laws passed by the plebeians.

The last law in the list is seen by historians as the step that ended the conflict between rich plebeians and patricians (the Conflict of the Orders). At that point the rich plebeians had gained access to the offices of state and attained power-sharing with the patricians. They were co-opted into a patrician-plebeian oligarchy.

Wilts power was the concern of the rich plebeians. the concerns of the poor plebeians were different. Their agitations were connected to their economic grievances, especially endemic indebtedness and shortages of land for poor peasants. The poor were the driving force of the plebeian movement. The rich plebeians became the leaders of this movement. They used it to press for power-sharing. When they obtained this, they turned their backs of the concerns of the poor, which were not addressed properly.

What equals acceleration x time?

It's equal to the change in velocity (final velocity - initial velocity).


Which quantities do you need to know in order to determine the change in an objects momentum?

To determine the change in an object's momentum, you need to know the initial momentum of the object (mass x initial velocity) and the final momentum of the object (mass x final velocity). The change in momentum is equal to the final momentum minus the initial momentum.


What is the change of momentum of a ball thrown against a wall?

The change in momentum of the ball thrown against the wall will be equal to the final momentum minus the initial momentum of the ball.


What would be true of the values for initial velocity and final velocity if the acceleration were zero?

A change in velocity can be effected only by acceleration. Therefore, if the acceleration is zero, there is no change, so final velocity equals initial velocity.

How is the change in momentum calculated?

IN general change is defined as the difference of initial from the final. So change = Final - Initial. Hence change in momentum = Final momentum - initial momentum


What is the acceleration for linear motion?

Average Acceleration can be verbally defined as the change in velocity in a certain change in time... More simply put: Average Acceleration = (Final Velocity - Initial Velocity) / (Final Time - Initial Time)


What is the magnitude of the impulse of the collision?

The magnitude of the impulse of a collision is equal to the change in momentum of the object or objects involved. It is calculated by taking the difference between the final momentum and the initial momentum of the system. The impulse can be determined using the impulse-momentum theorem, which states that the impulse is equal to the change in momentum.


Is final velocity equal to speed?

Yea it is.

What is the change in momentum of the ball during the collision with the bat?

The change in momentum of the ball during the collision with the bat is equal to the final momentum of the ball minus the initial momentum of the ball. This change in momentum is a result of the force applied by the bat on the ball during the collision.


Is acceleration equal to the initial velocity minus the final velocity and then divided by time?

No, acceleration is calculated as the change in velocity divided by time. It is the rate at which the velocity of an object changes. Mathematically, acceleration is represented as (final velocity - initial velocity) / time.
