Answer:

Harriet Tubman was born in 1821 into a family of enslaved African Americans on a plantation in Dorchester County, Maryland, owned by Edward Brodas. Her birth name was Araminta and was known by minty, till she changed her name as an early teen to Harriet, after her mother. many of her 11 siblings were sold and taken to the deep south.

At age 5, Tubman was "rented" to neighbors to do housework. She was not great at household chores and was often beaten and abused by her slaveholders and "renters'' due to her skill. Like other African Americans, As a child she was never taught to read or write and never had a broad span of education in general. Eventually she was put to work as a field hand, which she preferred over the housework. At age 15, she suffered a head injury when she blocked the path of the overseer pursuing an uncooperative enslaved person. The overseer flung a weight at the other enslaved people, hitting Tubman, who probably sustained a severe concussion. She was ill for a long time and never fully recovered.

In 1844 or 1845, Tubman married John Tubman, a free Black man. Shortly after her marriage, she hired a lawyer to investigate her legal history and discovered that her mother had been freed on a technicality upon the death of a former enslaver The lawyer advised her that a court wouldn't likely hear the case, so she dropped it. But knowing that she should have been born free led her to contemplate freedom and resent her situation.

In 1849, Tubman heard that two of her brothers were about to be sold to the Deep South, and her husband threatened to sell her, too. She tried to persuade her brothers to escape with her but left alone, making her way to Philadelphia and freedom. The next year, Tubman decided to return to Maryland to free her sister and her sister's family. Over the next 12 years, she returned 18 or 19 times, bringing more than 300 people out of enslavement.

Akimi4 [234]
Around a distant star, two planets similar to Earth collided and were destroyed, astronomers said today.

The somewhat speculative scenario is based on the leftovers: a ring of debris around the star that includes a million times more dust than now circles our sun.

Drag each cause to the correct box. each word may be used more than once. the hydrogen bomb
swat32

Also called "H-bomb" or "fusion bomb", the hydrogen bomb is the most powerful explosive invented by man. Its force can reach 50 times that of an atomic bomb like those that were dropped on Japan and the reaction is the same that occurs spontaneously inside stars like the sun.

In contrast to what happens in nuclear fission, when heavy uranium atoms "break" releasing large amounts of energy, in nuclear fusion the hydrogen atoms (deuterium and tritium) come together to release energy.

The difference is that while nuclear fission releases about 10% of the energy contained in the nucleus of atoms, fusion can release about 40% of that energy.
