Answer;

A. hydroelectricity

Explanation;

A nonrenewable resource is a resource of economic value that cannot be readily replaced by natural means on a level equal to its consumption. Most fossil fuels, such as oil, natural gas and coal are considered nonrenewable resources in that their use is not sustainable because their formation takes billions of years.

-Renewable resources are resources which are being continuously consumed by man but are renewed by nature constantly are called as Renewable Resources. These resources are inexhaustible because they cannot be exhausted permanently. Some examples of renewable energy sources are solar energy, wind energy, hydropower, geothermal energy, and biomass energy.

The trade winds are tropical winds that blow toward the Equator. Choose the statement that best explains why the trade winds blo

AveGali [126]

The best and most correct answer among the choices provided by your question is the fourth option or letter D. Trade winds blow towards the equator because t<span>he Equator receives the most heat energy.

</span>The surface air that flows from these subtropical high-pressure belts toward the Equator is deflected toward the west in both hemispheres by the Coriolis effect. These winds blow<span> predominantly from the northeast in the Northern Hemisphere and from the southeast in the Southern Hemisphere.

I hope my answer has come to your help. Thank you for posting your question here in Brainly.

A mass m attached to a horizontal massless spring with spring constant k, is set into simple harmonic motion. its maximum displa

Lesechka [4]

At the point of maximum displacement (a), the elastic potential energy of the spring is maximum:
$U_i= \frac{1}{2} ka^2$
while the kinetic energy is zero, because at the maximum displacement the mass is stationary, so its velocity is zero:
$K_i =0$
And the total energy of the system is
$E_i = U_i+K= \frac{1}{2}ka^2$

Viceversa, when the mass reaches the equilibrium position, the elastic potential energy is zero because the displacement x is zero:
$U_f = 0$
while the mass is moving at speed v, and therefore the kinetic energy is
$K_f = \frac{1}{2} mv^2$
And the total energy is
$E_f = U_f + K_f = \frac{1}{2} mv^2$

For the law of conservation of energy, the total energy must be conserved, therefore $E_i = E_f$ . So we can write
$\frac{1}{2} ka^2 = \frac{1}{2}mv^2$
that we can solve to find an expression for v:
$v= \sqrt{ \frac{ka^2}{m} }$

The magnitude of the magnetic field at a certain distance from a long, straight conductor is represented by B. What is the magni

den301095 [7]

Answer:

Option C is correct.

The magnitude of the field is reduced to half at twice the distance,

Explanation:

The magnetic field produced in a long, straight conductor carrying a current I at distance r is given by

B = μ₀I/2πr

Where μ₀ is the constant permeability of free space.

If we increase the distance by twice then

B = μ₀I/2π(2r)

B = μ₀I/2πr(2)

B = B/2

Therefore, the magnitude of magnetic field is reduced by B/2 at twice the distance.
