Why have fossil fuels become our primary energy resource

Physics

Komok [63]3 years ago

Answer: The fossil fuels are big part of the world today. But my i say get red of it you know but o will. so hope this helps good luck.

Explanation:

The United States gets 81% of its total energy from oil, coal, and natural gas, all of which are fossil fuels. We depend on those fuels to heat our homes, run our vehicles, power industry and manufacturing, and provide us with electricity. Eventually, the degree to which we depend on fossil fuels will have to decline as the planet’s known supplies diminish, the difficulty and cost of tapping remaining reserves increase, and the effect of their continued use on our planet grows more critical. But shifting to new energy sources will take time. In the meantime, how do we use fossil fuels in the most efficient and environmentally responsible way possible?

Fossil fuels are not our primary source of energy that role plays the sun.

If you turn of the sun you would freeze to death after 1 month.

Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

θ = sin⁻¹\sqrt{2gd}

Explanation:

From one of the equations of motion, v² = u² + 2as.......... equation 1

Since the object thrown was moving against gravity, then the acceleration, a would change to -g and the initial velocity u would change to V₀ sin θ because the object is travelling at angle of θ to the horizontal. By inputting all these parameter into equation 1, we would arrive at:

v² = (u sin θ)² - 2gd

(u sin θ)² = 2gd

d = (u sin θ)²/2g

sin² θ = 2gd

sin θ = \sqrt{2gd}

θ = sin⁻¹ \sqrt{2gd}

Man made objects that spread an impulse over a large amount of time
lyudmila [28]

Answer:

Examples of man-made objects that spread an impulse over a large amount of time are "airbags" in vehicles and "arrestor beds" (for trucks).

Explanation:

The question above is highly related to the topic about "Impulse" in Physics.

"Impulse"<em> refers to an object's change in momentum (the amount of motion in an object) when a force acts upon it for an interval time.</em> When it comes to providing safety to people when it comes to vehicular crashes, impulse plays a vital role.

Let's take the example of airbags in vehicles. Once a vehicle collides with another object, the driver is carried by a forward motion. Without airbags, the time is normally shorter for the driver to be stopped by the windshield. This results to a greater force. However, with the presence of air-bags, the driver will hit the airbag, instead of the windshield. <u>This will lengthen the time of the impact, thus reducing the force.</u>

Another example are the arrestor beds for trucks. Arrestor beds have been designed in order for trucks to stop, since it's hard to maneuver them. <u>With the help of arrestor beds, trucks are able to come to a stop with a longer time interval, but decreased force.</u>
