How long does it take decaying organisms to transform into fossil fuels?

Physics
1 answer:
taurus [48]4 years ago
7 0

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.

The fact that some asteroids cluster in what are called asteroid families is probably the result of:
alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

The families are thought to form as a result of collisions between asteroids. In many or most cases the parent body was shattered, but there are also several families which resulted from a large cratering event which did not disrupt the parent body (e.g. the Vesta, Pallas, Hygiea, and Massalia families).

1) A tiger leaps horizontally from a 7.5 m high rock with a speed of 4.5 m/s. How far from
Artyom0805 [142]

The distance of tiger's leap from the base of rock is 5.58 m

It is a question of two dimensional motion

The time of motion in two dimensional motion is given by:

t= \sqrt{2y/g}

where y is the height and g is  the acceleration due to gravity

y is given to be 7.5m and let us assume g to be 9.8 m/s^2

t = \sqrt{2 * 7.5/9.8}

 = 1.24s

Using time and speed,

We know that distance is the product of speed and time,

Distance= speed x time

speed is given to be 4.5 m/s

distance from the base of rock = 4.5 x 1.24

                                                    = 5.58m

Hence the distance of tiger's leap from the base of rock is 5.58 m

Disclaimer:

The acceleration due to gravity is assumed to be 9.8 m/s^2
