Answer:

Millions or hundreds of million of years

Explanation:

It takes a very long time for decaying substances to form fossil fuels. It takes around millions or hundreds of million of years for the transformation to occur. This explains why they aren’t renewable.

Decayed plant materials usually form coal while decayed animal materials form crude oil.

<h3>What is Potential and Kinetic energy?</h3>

Potential energy is the energy that is stored in any item or system as a result of its location or component arrangement. The environment outside of the object or system, such as air or height, has no impact on it. In contrast, kinetic energy refers to the energy of moving particles inside a system or an item.

mass of rod, mab = 2.4kg

mass of rod, mbc = 4kg

conservation of energy

$T_{1} + V_{1} = T_{2} + V_{2}$

$h_{ab} = h_{bc} = 0.18m$

potential energy at position 1,

$V1 = m_{ab} gh_{ab} + m_{bc} gh_{bc}$

V1 = 2.5 * 9.81 * 0.18 + 4 * 9.81 * 0.18

V1 = 11.30112

kinetic energy T1 at position 1 is zero

potential energy at position 2 is zero

K.E at position 2,

$T_{2} = \frac{1}{2} l_{ab} w^{2}_{ab} + \frac{1}{2} m_{bc} v^{2}_{G} + \frac{1}{2} lw^{2}_{bc}$

$l_{ab} =\frac{m_{ab} l^{2}_{ab} }{3}$

= 1/3 *4 * (0.36)²

=0.10368kg m²

$l =\frac{m_{bc} l^{2}_{bc} }{12}$

= 1/12 *4 * (0.6)²

=0.12kg m²

on putting the values in above equation we get,

T₂ = 1.0667vb²

0 + 11.30112 = 1.0667vb² + 0

vb = 3.2549 m/s

Which of the following has potential but not kinetic energy?

gavmur [86]

The answer would be option D "a ball sitting on a shelf." Potential energy is the amount of energy a object has while it's at rest.. (or not moving) Kinetic energy is how much energy a object is while it's moving. So in this case it's option D because a ball sitting on a shelf isn't moving therefore it has potential energy. It's not option A because thats a example of kinetic energy since how the roller coaster is moving. It's not option B because it's kinetic energy because the bike is moving. It's also not option C because it's kinetic energy because the bird is moving.

Hope this helps!
