The answer is <span>It protects the seed until it matures.
Through the process of elimination:
- </span><span>It protects the seed until it matures. YES. A female pine cone the unfertilized seeds until they become mature. Then, the cone opens and seeds fall out of the cone.
</span><span>- It makes food for the adult plant. NO. The food of plants in made of green leaves that contain chlorophyll in the process of photosynthesis.
- It allows for photosynthesis to occur. NO. The cones have nothing to do with photosynthesis but they are responsible for reproduction.
- It acts as an object to attract birds. NO. The birds look for colourful flowers while cones are woody.
- It serves as an ornamental object on the tree. NO. Every part of plants has more important function than serving as an ornamental object.</span><span>

Answer:
a) Therefore 2.6km is greater than 2.57km.
Statement A is greater than statement B.
b) Therefore 5.7km is equal to 5.7km
Statement A is equal to statement B
Explanation:
a) Statement A : 2.567km to two significant figures.
2.567km 2. S.F = 2.6km
Statement B : 2.567km to three significant figures.
2.567km 3 S.F = 2.57km
Therefore 2.6km is greater than 2.57km.
Statement A is greater than statement B.
b) statement A: (2.567 km + 3.146km) to 2 S.F
(2.567km + 3.146km) = 5.713km to 2 S.F = 5.7km
Statement B : (2.567 km, to two significant figures) + (3.146 km, to two significant figures).
2.567km to 2 S.F = 2.6km
3.146km to 2 S.F = 3.1km
2.6km + 3.1km = 5.7km
Therefore 5.7km is equal to 5.7km
Statement A is equal to statement B
Complete question:
Two 10-cm-diameter charged rings face each other, 21.0 cm apart. Both rings are charged to +40.0 nC. What is the electric field strength at the midpoint between the two rings ?
Answer:
The electric field strength at the mid-point between the two rings is zero.
Explanation:
Given;
diameter of each ring, d = 10 cm = 0.1 m
distance between the rings, r = 21.0 cm = 0.21 m
charge of each ring, q = 40 nC = 40 x 10⁻⁹ C
let the midpoint between the two rings = x
The electric field strength at the midpoint between the two rings is given as;

Therefore, the electric field strength at the mid-point between the two rings is zero.
Light will make the object appear “broken” or in an irregular shape.
Refraction is the change in direction of waves.
Answer:
Due to equal pressure in all the direction at a particular level in a fluid medium (Pascal's Law)
Explanation:
We are not crushed by the weight of the atmosphere because atmosphere is a fluid and we are immersed into it. So, according to the Pascal's law the the pressure a each point in a horizontal level is equal in all the direction irrespective of the orientation of a body.
Variation of pressure in term of the height of a fluid medium is given as:

density of fluid
g = acceleration due to gravity
h = height of the free surface of the fluid from the immersed object.
- And atmosphere has very less variation of pressure with change in height as it is a rare medium fluid and so for a human height there is very negligible variation of pressure at the heat of a human with respect to his toe.
