Fossil fuels are made by the decay of living things. Since living things are always dying and decaying, why are fossil fuels not

When Living things die,it takes them millions of years to form fossil fuels and as we are using more fossil fuels,the dead and decaying organisms cannot replenish the amount of fossil fuels humans are using as it takes a long time.Hence fossil fuels are not a renewable source of energy.

A 1300 kg steel beam is supported by two ropes. (Figure
Dmitriy789 [7]

Relative to the positive horizontal axis, rope 1 makes an angle of 90 + 20 = 110 degrees, while rope 2 makes an angle of 90 - 30 = 60 degrees.

By Newton's second law,

  • the net horizontal force acting on the beam is

R_1 \cos(110^\circ) + R_2 \cos(60^\circ) = 0

where R_1,R_2 are the magnitudes of the tensions in ropes 1 and 2, respectively;

  • the net vertical force acting on the beam is

R_1 \sin(110^\circ) + R_2 \sin(60^\circ) - mg = 0

where m=1300\,\rm kg and g=9.8\frac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}.

Eliminating R_2, we have

\sin(60^\circ) \bigg(R_1 \cos(110^\circ) + R_2 \cos(60^\circ)\bigg) - \cos(60^\circ) \bigg(R_1 \sin(110^\circ) + R_2 \sin(60^\circ)\bigg) = 0\sin(60^\circ) - mg\cos(60^\circ)

R_1 \bigg(\sin(60^\circ) \cos(110^\circ) - \cos(60^\circ) \sin(110^\circ)\bigg) = -\dfrac{mg}2

R_1 \sin(60^\circ - 110^\circ) = -\dfrac{mg}2

-R_1 \sin(50^\circ) = -\dfrac{mg}2

R_1 = \dfrac{mg}{2\sin(50^\circ)} \approx \boxed{8300\,\rm N}

Solve for R_2.

\dfrac{mg\cos(110^\circ)}{2\sin(50^\circ)} + R_2 \cos(60^\circ) = 0

\dfrac{R_2}2 = -mg\cot(110^\circ)

R_2 = -2mg\cot(110^\circ) \approx \boxed{9300\,\rm N}

Can someone help me?
Alik [6]

Answer:

Resultant = 3.05N

Explanation:

r =  \sqrt{{5}^{2} + 5^{2} - 2(5)(5) \cos(120) }

r =  \sqrt{25 + 25 - 50(0.8142)}

r =  \sqrt{50 - 40.71}  =  \sqrt{9.29}

r = 3.05

Which of the following are steps for balancing chemical equations?
AveGali [126]

Answer:

C. Recheck the numbers of each atom on each side of the equation

to make sure the sides are equal.

D. Choose coefficients that will balance the equation

Explanation:

In balancing of chemical equation, the number of atoms on both sides must be equal in adherence to the law of conservation of mass.

Using the method of inspection, the equation is first observed to know the relationship between the combining atoms and the resulting ones.

After observing the reaction, put a coefficient that will balance the equation. Then recheck the number of each atom on both side of the equation. One can repeat the process till the equation is balanced.

5. Sarah is standing 32.0 m away from Jason. If Sarah throws a snowball at a 45 degree
padilas [110]

Answer:

Explanation:

If air resistance is ignored and assume UP and Toward Jason are the positive directions.

horizontal analysis

d = (vx₀)t

t = d/vx₀

horizontal analysis

0 = vy₀t + ½gt²

0 = vy₀(d/vx₀)+ ½g(d/vx₀)²

as vy₀ = v₀sin45 and vx₀ = v₀cos45 and are equal.

0 = d + ½g(d²/v₀²cos²45)

-d = ½g(d²/v₀²cos²45)

-dv₀² = ½g(d²/cos²45)

   v₀² = -½g(d/cos²45)

   v₀² = -½(-9.81(32.0/cos²45)

   v₀² = 313.92

   v₀ = 17.717787...

   v₀ = 17.7 m/s
