taurus [48]3 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.

P6: An object of mass m sits on a spring of constant k in an elevator that is accelerating upwards with acceleration a. a) In te
tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

(a). The spring compressed is \dfrac{ma+mg}{k}.

(b). The acceleration is 1.5 g.

Explanation:

Given that,

Acceleration = a

mass = m

spring constant = k

(a). We need to calculate the spring compressed

Using balance equation

kx-mg=ma

x=\dfrac{ma+mg}{k}....(I)

The spring compressed is \dfrac{ma+mg}{k}.

(b). If the compression is 2.5 times larger than it is when the mass sits in a still elevator,

The compression is given by

x=2.5\times x_{0}

Here, acceleration is zero

So, x=2.5\times\dfrac{mg}{k}

We need to calculate the acceleration

Put the value of x in equation (I)

2.5\times \dfrac{mg}{k}=\dfrac{ma+mg}{k}

2.5\times\dfrac{mg}{k}=\dfrac{m}{k}(a+g)

a=2.5g-g

a=1.5g

Hence, (a). The spring compressed is \dfrac{ma+mg}{k}.

(b). The acceleration is 1.5 g.
