Answer:

F Anthracite (the hardest coal)

Explanation:

Coal is a sedimentary rock that is formed from plant materials. These plant materials must have been trapped and compacted in an environment where they are not able decay. Such an environment is a swamp.

The first grade of coal that forms initially in such an environment is called PEAT. Peat is soft coal that still contains some plant materials. It has a high moisture content and the amount of carbon is still quite low.

With increasing pressure and compaction, PEAT grades into LIGNITE which has more carbon atoms in it. Lignite is more combustible although it is quite soft too. Lignite grades into SUB-BITUMINOUS coal and then BITUMIOUS coal.

The highest grade of coal is ANTHRACITE which is a hard coal. It has very little moisture content and rich carbon percentage in it. Anthracite yields more energy compared to other forms of coal. Anthracite is basically coal that forms at the greastest pressure. Beyond this pressure, a metamorphic transformation occurs and the coals changes to graphite.

Based on increasing pressure:

PEAT< LIGNITE< BITUMINOUS COAL < ANTHRACITE

Newton's 3rd Law states
algol [13]

Answer:

D. two objects, when touching, will exert forces on each other that are equal in strength but opposite in direction

Explanation:

The three Newton's Laws have to do with force interaction in bodies. Option A follows other laws that are not from Newton. Option B has more to do with energy conservation, not forces. Option C is actually one Newton's Law, but it's the second one. It describes how an object with certain mass changes its force as long as the body is in certain type of acceleration.

Finally, option D is Newton's Third Law and describes how two bodies with mass interact each other when they touch. Ine very body interaction, there al always 2 forces that meet, and depending on which angles they encounter, the resultant force can vary.

For example, when a person sits down, there's a force coming from him towards the chair; but at the same time, the chair pushes the body back with exactly the same force. There's no movement at all from the 2 bodies because the whole system is in equilibrium or the resultant force is equall to 0.
