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 player is positioned 35 m[40 degrees W of S] of the net. He shoot the puck 25 m [E] to a teammate. What second displacement do
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

x=22.57 m

Explanation:

Given that

35 m in W of S

angle = 40 degrees

25 m in east

From the diagram

The angle

\theta=90-40=50^o

From the triangle OAB

cos40^o=\frac{35^2+25^2-x^2}{2\times 35\times 25}

1340.57=35^2+25^2-x^2

x=22.57 m

Therefore the answer of the above problem will be 22.57 m

The most precise measurement of the speed of light in vacuum is 299,792,458 m/s. Which of the following values would you use to
Luda [366]

Answer:

v = 3.00 x 10⁸ m/s

Explanation:

given,

speed of light in vacuum = 299,792,458 m/s

speed of light in scientific notation to three significant figures

v = 2.99792458  x  10⁸ m/s

by rounding off the speed to three significant figure.

v = 3.00 x 10⁸ m/s

On the fourth place the value is greater than 5 so, on the third place 1 will be added.

now, the speed with three significant figure comes out to be

v = 3.00 x 10⁸ m/s

If a displacement vector has a negative x component and a positive y component,
bezimeni [28]

Answer:

The direction will be NE i.e North east.

Explanation:

From the question, it will be travelling in North east direction because the the negative X components in vector is in horizontal direction which is the Eastern direction when using the four cardinal points and the Y components, the positive is in North direction if you use the four cardinal points. Therefore, the vector with both X components and Y components will be travelling in Northeast direction.
