Hmm...
dam power plant (not sure if this is considered renewable): benefits: as it creates a tourist spot bringing more money and provides electricity. 
disadvantages: restricts flow of water to farms, costs millions to build.
solar power plant: benefits: sunlight just keeps coming, produces a lot of electricity for maybe half the cost.
disadvantages: takes a large crew to maintain, mostly needs to be in an open area.
Wind farm: benefits: wind we don't have to worry about much, just blows through and turns the turbines, and can produce electricity almost 24/7.
disadvantages: unsightly, needs open space and costs a lot to build
Take your pick!

Answer: Wind power plant

Explanation:

A renewable resource is the one which can be replenished due to natural cycle like water, sunlight, forests and wind. The renewable resources are abundantly available in nature.

A old coal burning plant can be replaced by the wind power plant. This is because of the fact that wind power can produce comparably the same amount of electrical energy as that of electrical energy generated by coal burning plant.  

The advantages of using the wind power plant.

1. Wind is available at all regions of the world, the wind resource will not deplete in future.

2. Large amount of energy can be produced on a large scale.

The disadvantages of using the wind power plant.

1. Requires a large open space to construct a wind power plant.

2. The energy cannot be harnessed in bad weather conditions such as rainfall.

Calculate the acceleration of a 3000 kg truck that had a net force of 500 N applied to it. Express your answer in m/s^2???
WINSTONCH [101]
Newton's 2nd law of motion . . . . . Force = (mass) x (acceleration)

Divide each side by (mass), and you have

Acceleration  =  (force) / (mass)

We know the force and mass for this truck, so we can fillum in:

Acceleration = (500 N) / (3,000 kg)  =  0.167 m/s²  .

Light waves travel most slowly through a ____<br><br> A) gas<br> B) solid<br> C) liquid
WITCHER [35]

Answer:

Liquid

Explanation: It can't be gas because gases are all around us and we can still see light. For solids it can't even move through a solid. Ex: If you're in a solid dome made of rock you can't get any light through. Let me know if I'm right!

What do the subscript in the formula for ethane repersent
Karolina [17]
The formula for ethane is C2H6. (the 2 and 6 are supposed to be subscripts) they show the number of atoms per element. So there are two carbon atoms and six hydrogen atoms in ethane. The subscript in a chemical formula represents the amount of that atom in that compound's formula. <span>In chemistry, no subscript indicates 1 of that particular atom. HCl contains 1 atom of hydrogen and 1 atom of chlorine, whereas H20 contains 2 atoms of hydrogen and 1 atom of oxygen.It should be noted, however that this does not necessarily hold true for empiracle formulas, since these have been reduced to the simplest whole number ratio and do not necessarily reflect the number of each element present in an actual molecule. 

I hope this helps you! Good luck :)</span>

An empty can of soda is yeeted (thrown) into a crowd. Then, a full can of soda is yeeted into a crowd. Throwing the full can too
4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

Newton's third law of motion.

Explanation:

We are told the force needed to throw the full soda can was more than that needed to throw the empty can.

Now, the weight of the full soda can will be more than that of the empty can. Therefore, the full can will demand more force than that of the empty can due to Newton's third law of motion which states that to every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
