If we are depending on nonrenewable resources only then we will run out first at that resource which we are using at large level

that resource which is used at all levels at very fast level but we can't get it at that rate from natural sources

So out of all given choices we know that at most fastest rate we are using the OIL which we extract from the earth crust.

The rate with which we are extracting oil is very fast and if we use it at same rate then we will definitely run out of it

so correct answer would be

B. oil

Answer:

B: Oil

Explanation:

If consumption of natural resources continues at the 1994 rate, then without importing resources from other countries, the U.S. has approximately enough oil to last for 23 years, enough natural gas to last for 68 years, enough uranium to last for 364 years, and enough coal to last for 7,007 years.

A train traveling at 6.4 m/s accelerates at 0.10 m/s 2 over a distance of 100 m. How large is the train’s final velocity?
klasskru [66]

The final velocity of the train at the end of the given distance is 7.81 m/s.

The given parameters;

  • initial velocity of the train, u = 6.4 m/s
  • acceleration of the train, a = 0.1 m/s²
  • distance traveled, s = 100 m

The final velocity of the train at the end of the given distance is calculated using the following kinematic equation;

v² = u² + 2as

v² = (6.4)² + (2 x 0.1 x 100)

v² = 60.96

v = √60.96

v = 7.81 m/s

Thus, the final velocity of the train at the end of the given distance is 7.81 m/s.

Please left home at 8 AM to spend the day at in amusement park. He arrived at the park, which was 150 KM from his house, at 10 A
antiseptic1488 [7]

Answer:

v=\frac{150km}{2h}=75\frac{km}{h}

Explanation:

We can use the equation for the speed

v=\frac{x}{t}

where x is the distance and t the time. In this case we know that the time spent was 2 hours and the distance was 150km. By replacing we have

v=\frac{150km}{2h}=75\frac{km}{h}

I hope this useful for you

In deep space, sphere A of mass MA is located at the origin of an x axis and sphere B of mass MB is located on the axis at a poi
Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

The gravitational potential energy of the two-sphere system just as B is released is

U = -[(G)(MA)(MB)/x₁]

where G = Gravitational constant

G = (6.7 × 10⁻¹¹) Nm²/kg²

Explanation:

The gravitational potential energy of two masses (m and M), separated by a distance, d, is given as

U = -(GMm/d)

For our question,

Mass of object 1 = MA

Mass of object 2 = MB

Distance between them = x₁

U = -[(G)(MA)(MB)/x₁]

where G = Gravitational constant

G = (6.7 × 10⁻¹¹) Nm²/kg²

Hope this Helps!!!

None of the diagrams you attached shows the scenario accurately,
or at all.

Heat flows from Object-B to Object-A, until both objects are at
the same temperature, somewhere between 10°C  and  29°C.
