Identify the correct sequence for the formation and use of coal.
Zanzabum

The correct answer is - A. Plants store solar energy; the plants die; the plants are compressed; solar energy is released;

The plants use the solar energy for their functioning, thus they are one of the biggest natural storage of it. The plants also use the CO2 for the process of photosynthesis that is driven by the solar energy. When the plants die, the things inside them are stored in them, and if they are quickly covered they will remain stored and not get back into the atmosphere. The plants than are compressed, and over time that leads to a change in their composition. After millions of years had passed, the solar energy and CO2 had turned into coal. The coal is heavily used by the humans in the past few centuries, and with its burning the solar energy and the CO2 are released back into the atmosphere from which they came millions of years ago.

Two cellists, one seated directly behind the other in an orchestra, play the same 220-Hz note for the conductor who is directly
Llana [10]

Answer:

d= 1.56 m

Explanation:

In order to have a constructive interference, the path difference between the sources of the sound, must be equal to an even multiple of the semi-wavelength, as follows:

⇒ d = d₂ - d₁ = 2n*(λ/2)

The minimum possible value for this distance, is when n=1, as it can be seen here:

dmin = λ

In any wave, there exists a fixed relationship between the wave speed, the frequency and the wavelength:

v = λ*f

If v = vsound = 343 m/s, and f = 220 1/s, we can solve for λ:

λ =\frac{v}{f} =  \frac{343 m/s}{220(1/s)} = 1.56 m

⇒ dmin =λ = 1.56 m

statuscvo [17]

Answer:

<u>Development in science:</u>

There a number of individuals in the world around us who has improved the field of science and made it easy for us to know this universe more easily then ever. This universe is still unexplored and there are going to be more then billions of stars which are still not studied and has an immense amount of information regarding the universe.

<u>Stephen Hawking:</u> The scientist who made it easy for each of us to know the universe and more over the cosmos in a more detailed form, as before this no one knew about the different patterns of entities and there properties.

<u>A genius who was handicapped:</u>

He was a genius in cosmology, mathematics, and other subjects of science as he was diagnosed by the amyotrophic lateral sclerosis(ALS), which made it unable for him to live a normal life.But, he communicated through a computer which detected his nerve signals and shared his thoughts about any thing or subject.

<u>Why him?</u>

Stephen hawking was just tremendous in making it more understandable about the black holes, time worms, and space etc.As it was known to very small number of people before he took the stage.
