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 58 g firecracker is at rest at the origin when it explodes into three pieces. The first, with mass 12 g , moves along the x ax

alexdok [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

We shall apply conservation of momentum law in vector form to solve the problem .

Initial momentum = 0

momentum of 12 g piece

= .012 x 37 i since it moves along x axis .

= .444 i

momentum of 22 g

= .022 x 34 j

= .748 j

Let momentum of third piece = p

total momentum

= p + .444 i + .748 j

applying conservation law of momentum

p + .444 i + .748 j = 0

p = - .444 i - .748 j

magnitude of p

= √ ( .444² + .748² )

= .87 kg m /s

mass of third piece = 58 - ( 12 + 22 )

= 24 g = .024 kg

if v be its velocity

.024 v = .87

v = 36.25 m / s .

Current will be $I=\dfrac{V_{rms}}{Z}=\dfrac{V_{rms}}{\sqrt{ R^{2}+(X_{C}-X_{L})^{2}}}\\where~X_{c}=\dfrac{1}{j.\omega .C}~and~X_{L}=j.\omega.L~where~\omega=2.\pi f~and~f=60Hz$
now just pluf in the values and Voila..

Answer:

A.compared

Explanation:

Fossils help figure out the time that organisms lived. If you know one of the fossils, it can be used as a reference for others around.
