Answer:

Because they are found deep in the Earth and the energy stored in them was obtained from the Sun long ago.

From research I found that the 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. :)

A lion has a mass of 45 kg. Answer the following questions about it, using correct units. a. The lion runs at a speed of 14.2 m/

Eva8 [605]

A) The kinetic energy of an object is given by:
$K= \frac{1}{2}mv^2$
where m is the mass of the object, and v its speed. For the lion in our problem, m=45 kg and v=14.2 m/s, so its kinetic energy is
$K= \frac{1}{2}mv^2= \frac{1}{2}(45 kg)(14.2 m/s)^2=4537 J$

b) the increase in gravitational potential energy of the lion is given by:
$\Delta U = mg \Delta h$
where g is the gravitational acceleration, and $\Delta h$ is the increase in altitude of the lion. In this problem, $\Delta h=28 m$ , so the increase in gravitational potential energy is
$\Delta U=mg \Delta h=(45 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)(28 m)=12361 J$

c) When the fox reaches the top of the tree, its gravitational potential energy is
$U=mgh=(1.8 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)(3.8 m)=67 J$
As it jumps, its kinetic energy is
$K= \frac{1}{2}mv^2= \frac{1}{2}(1.8 kg)(8.1 m/s)^2=59 J$
So the total mechanical energy of the fox as it jumps is
$E=U+K=67 J + 59 J =126 J$

How many nanoseconds are there in 1.90 yr ? Express your answer using three significant figures.

shepuryov [24]

   (1.9 yr) x (365.24 day/yr) x (86,400 sec/day) x (10⁹ nsec/sec)

   = (1.9 x 365.24 x 86,400 x 10⁹) nanosec

   = 6.00 x 10¹⁶ nanoseconds

Explain why, under some circumstances, it is not advisable to weld a structure that is fabricated with a 3003 aluminum alloy. Hi

Scorpion4ik [409]

The 3003 aluminum alloy is made up of 1.25% Magnesium and 0.1% Copper. This combination is designed to increase the strength of the material over other types of alloys such as those of the 1000 series. This alloy provides a medium strength and can be educated by cold work.

The alloy is not heat treatable and generally has good formability, corrosion resistance and weldability.

However, being a material that hardens by cold work, welding a 3003 Aluminum structure will cause the body to undergo recrystallization which will generate a loss in the 'resistance' of the material and the force capable of withstanding. If this aluminum will be used for structural purposes, it should not be welded. It would be better to perform the structure with a 6061 aluminum, which has similar characteristics and is not so affected by welding.

a positively charged body makes contact with a body. after a while, the charged body becomes neutralised. state 3 main condition

MrRa [10]

Answer:

A body will become positively charged when some electrons will come out from the body.Thus, positive charge is due to deficiency of electrons.
