Not so fast! you are right the first step is that the plants and animals have to decay then they turn to peat and then in a million years time you have coal !!!!!!! :)

Answer:

True

Explanation:

In the first step of coal making all the plant species and trees which start decaying, gets buried under the earth crust and lead to the formation of peat. The peat is further acted upon by the heat and pressure thereby leading to the formation of lignite coal (soft brown coal), which further turns into bituminous coal (black and brittle) and then get converted into anthracite (highest carbon content and is found at greatest depth)

A 2 feet piece of wire is cut into two pieces and once a piece is bent into a square and the other is bent into an equilateral t
SpyIntel [72]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let x ft be used to make square and 2-x ft be used to make equilateral triangle.

each side of square = x/4

area of square = ( x /4 )²

Each side of triangle

= (2-x) /3

Area of triangle = 1/2 (2-x)²/9 sin 60

= √3 / 36 x (2-x)²

Total area

A = ( x /4 )² +√3 / 36 (2-x)²

For maximum area

dA/dx = 0

1/16( 2x ) -√3 / 36 x2(2-x) = 0

x / 8 - √3(2-x)/ 18 = 0

x / 8 - √3/9 + √3/18 x = 0

x ( 1/8 + √3/18 ) = √3/9

x(.125 +.096 ) = .192

x = .868 ft

two projectiles are fired at equal speeds but differentangles. one is fired at an angle of 30 degrees and the other at 60degrees
zheka24 [161]

Answer:

a) 30 degree

Explanation:

As we know that time of flight of the projectile depends on the the vertical component of the velocity always

It is given as

T = \frac{2v_y}{g}

now we know that

v_y = vsin\theta

so we will have

T = \frac{2vsin\theta}{g}

since we know that two projectiles are projected at same speed but different angles

so smaller the angle will take smaller time

so it would be 30 degree projectile which will take smaller time

A projectile is fired from a gun near the surface of earth. the initial velocity of the projectile has a vertical component of 9
nadezda [96]
The gravitational acceleration experienced by the bullet due to the earth's gravitational force is approximately equals to 9.81 m/s^2

At maximum point of height, vertical component of velocity equals to zero because it experiences a pause momentarily before coming back down.

Since -acceleration=(Final velocity-initial velocity) divided by time. Taking upwards to be positive, time taken= 10s
