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)

An object's buoyant force and weight mean the same thing.<br><br>A. True<br><br>B. False

german

Answer:

False

Explanation:

No. The buoyant force on an object is the portion of its weight that appears to vanish

when the object is in any fluid (could be either a liquid or a gas).

If the object happens to float in a particular fluid, then the buoyant force at that moment

is equal to the object's weight.

Notice that the buoyant force on an object will be different in different fluids.

At a depth of 1030 m in Lake Baikal (a fresh water lake in Siberia), the pressure has increased by 100 atmospheres (to about 107

dangina [55]

Answer:

A volume of a cubic meter of water from the surface of the lake has been compressed in 0.004 cubic meters.

Explanation:

The bulk modulus is represented by the following differential equation:

$K = - V\cdot \frac{dP}{dV}$

Where:

$K$ - Bulk module, measured in pascals.

$V$ - Sample volume, measured in cubic meters.

$P$ - Local pressure, measured in pascals.

Now, let suppose that bulk remains constant, so that differential equation can be reduced into a first-order linear non-homogeneous differential equation with separable variables:

$-\frac{K \,dV}{V} = dP$

This resultant expression is solved by definite integration and algebraic handling:

$-K\int\limits^{V_{f}}_{V_{o}} {\frac{dV}{V} } = \int\limits^{P_{f}}_{P_{o}}\, dP$

$-K\cdot \ln \left |\frac{V_{f}}{V_{o}} \right| = P_{f} - P_{o}$

$\ln \left| \frac{V_{f}}{V_{o}} \right| = \frac{P_{o}-P_{f}}{K}$

$\frac{V_{f}}{V_{o}} = e^{\frac{P_{o}-P_{f}}{K} }$

The final volume is predicted by:

$V_{f} = V_{o}\cdot e^{\frac{P_{o}-P_{f}}{K} }$

If $V_{o} = 1\,m^{3}$ , $P_{o} - P_{f} = -10132500\,Pa$ and $K = 2.3\times 10^{9}\,Pa$ , then:

$V_{f} = (1\,m^{3}) \cdot e^{\frac{-10.1325\times 10^{6}\,Pa}{2.3 \times 10^{9}\,Pa} }$

$V_{f} \approx 0.996\,m^{3}$

Change in volume due to increasure on pressure is:

$\Delta V = V_{o} - V_{f}$

$\Delta V = 1\,m^{3} - 0.996\,m^{3}$

$\Delta V = 0.004\,m^{3}$

A volume of a cubic meter of water from the surface of the lake has been compressed in 0.004 cubic meters.

What is the resulting direction of a surface wave?

german

surface wave is a wave that travels along the surface of a medium. The medium is the matter through which the wave travels. Ocean waves are the best-known examples of surface waves. They travel on the surface of the water between the ocean and the air.

Showing results for a 4 olm and 8 ohm resistor are connected in series. The current through the 4 olm resistor is 2 amps. What i

kirill115 [55]

Answer:

Let R1= resistance of 4ohms

R2= resistance of 8ohms

Equivalent resistance R will be

R=R1 + R2

=> 4+8=12ohms

The current through the two resistors will be the same since they are connected in series. Notwithstanding, the voltage will drop to appreciate the change.
