Answer: 13.2 seconds.

Explanation: using equation of motion; S= ut +1/2at² where u = initial velocity=0

S= distance travelled

a = acceleration due gravity

t= time.

1 foot = 0.305m so,

S= 2860 feet =872.3m

S= ut+1/2 at²

872.3 = 0×t + 1/2×10 × t²

872.3 =0 + 5t²

T²= 872.3/5

T²= 174.46

Take the square root of T we then have;

t = 13.2 seconds to one decimal place.

anyanavicka [17]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

A. wind, tidal, geothermal, and hydroelectric

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>
  • Renewable energy sources are the energy sources that are constantly being replenished, such as sunlight, wind, and water. This means that we can use them as much as we want, and we do not have to worry about them running out.
  • Additionally, renewable energy sources are usually much more environmentally friendly than fossil fuels. Examples of renewable sources of energy includes; solar energy, wind energy, hydroelectric power, tidal energy, geothermal energy, etc.

The primary source of evidence proposed by many scientist to support the theory of an ancient earth is ____ dating.
vova2212 [387]
It depends on your definition of “ancient.” Radiometric dating using Carbon-14 can reliably date back to about 50,000 years, uranium-lead or lead-lead dating can date back multiple millions, potassium-argon dating can reach 1.5 billion, and rubidium-strontium can reach 50 billion (nearly 4x the age of the universe). It depends on the context in which this question is being asked.

A car in motion has kinetic energy. What happens to the kinetic energy when the car brakes to a stop? The kinetic energy is tran
Pie

Answer:

<em>When a moving car brakes to a stop the </em><em>kinetic energy of the car is converted to heat energy. </em>

Explanation:

A moving car has kinetic energy.

It is given by the equation k=\frac{1}{2} mv^2

Where m denotes mass of the car and v denote sits velocity. When the brakes are applied the velocity becomes zero and the car doesn’t possess kinetic energy anymore.

According to law of conservation of energy can neither be created nor be destroyed but can only be transformed from one form to another. On coming to a stop,  the kinetic energy of the car  gets converted to heat. The friction between the tyre and the road heats up the tyre.
