Answer:

towards Andrew

Explanation:

The direction in which the desk will move would be towards Andrew.

This is a simple case of resultant force. If both Michael and Andrew had pushed the desk together across the classroom, the resultant force would have been the addition of their individual's applied forces - neglecting any other extraneous forces. However, since they decided to push against each other, the resultant force would the subtraction of their individual forces and the desk will move towards the person with who applied the lower forces out of the two.

<em>Since Michael applied force was 30 N and that of Andrew was 28 N, the resultant force would therefore be 2 N in the direction of Andrew. In other words, </em><em>the desk would move towards Andrew.</em>

Phantasy [73]

Answer:b

Explanation:some seeds do not germinate during adverse conditions.this is called dormancy.this may occur due to hard seed coat.this seed coat prevents the entry of water and oxygen which are necessary for the plant to grow and germinate.

Water is a nessesary medium for essential metabolic reactions in the seed.the temperature at which is seed would germinate also varies.

Oxygen is needed for a germinating plant to obtain energy through respiration. The seed coat may also be so tough that they resist growth and expansion from taking place.

Seeds are able to break dormancy on their own.some may need to undergo natural processes that lead to softening.this process may be slow.some others may need heat or certain nutrients.

Germination of seed occurs when the dormant plant has taken in water and oxygen to show high metabolic activities leading to the formation of a seedling.
