From research I found that the <span>fossil fuel resources are sometimes referred to as "buried sunshine" because they make the earth warm. They are also found deep in the earth and the energy stored in them was obtained from the sun long ago, and that's because they also produce energy the same way the sun does.

Hope this is the answer you were looking for and that it helps. :)</span>

5. Graph A below plots a race car's speed for 5 seconds. The car's rate of acceleration is 6 m/s^2

Georgia [21]

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

We are to check if the statement is true of false. If it is false, we correct the statement.

Solution:

Acceleration is the time rate of change of velocity. It is the ratio of the change in velocity to the change in time. The acceleration can be gotten from a velocity time graph by finding the slope of the graph.

The x coordinate represent the time and the y coordinate velocity.

5) Graph A passes through the point (0, 0) and (4, 24). Therefore the acceleration (slope) is:

Acceleration = $\frac{24-0}{4-0}=6\ m/s^2$

This is correct.

6) Graph B is a straight line of 12 m/s. It passes through (0, 12) and (4, 12). Hence:

Acceleration = $\frac{12-12}{4-0}=0\ m/s^2$

This is false.

Therefore the acceleration of graph B is 0 m/s².

Which of the following are true about S waves

shusha [124]

Answer:

3. they can travel through solids

4. they move rock at right angles to the direction of wave travel

Explanation:

S waves are called transverse waves they have the ability to move past the solids. They cannot move through the liquids, these waves are perpendicular to the direction of travel.

They are also called longitudinal waves, the ad is second to record on the seismograph as they slowly pass through the rocks. They have a speed of 3.4 to 7.2 km as per the boundary.

Consider the hydrogen atom. How does the energy difference between adjacent orbit radii change as the principal quantum number i

Kisachek [45]

Answer:

the energy difference between adjacent levels decreases as the quantum number increases

Explanation:

The energy levels of the hydrogen atom are given by the following formula:

$E=-E_0 \frac{1}{n^2}$

where

$E_0 = 13.6 eV$ is a constant

n is the level number

We can write therefore the energy difference between adjacent levels as

$\Delta E=-13.6 eV (\frac{1}{n^2}-\frac{1}{(n+1)^2})$

We see that this difference decreases as the level number (n) increases. For example, the difference between the levels n=1 and n=2 is

$\Delta E=-13.6 eV(\frac{1}{1^2}-\frac{1}{2^2})=-13.6 eV(1-\frac{1}{4})=-13.6 eV(\frac{3}{4})=-10.2 eV$

While the difference between the levels n=2 and n=3 is

$\Delta E=-13.6 eV(\frac{1}{2^2}-\frac{1}{3^2})=-13.6 eV(\frac{1}{4}-\frac{1}{9})=-13.6 eV(\frac{5}{36})=-1.9 eV$

And so on.

So, the energy difference between adjacent levels decreases as the quantum number increases.

A person spins a tennis ball on a string in a horizontal circle (so that the axis of rotation is vertical). At the point indicat

Ilya [14]

Answer:

direction does the axis of rotation tilt toward after the blow is the z- direction

Explanation:

This is because

Due to the blow, there is a impulse imparted on the ball which gives a change in linear momentum () in the x direction

Thus When cross product of momentum in x direction is taking with r vector, we will get resultant in z direction. Hence change in angular momentum will be z direction.
