Coal-fired power plants and plants which function with other fosil fuels such as oil or natural gas, are still the cheapest energy source. Changing the production model and implementing renewable and environmentally friendly energy sources requires extremely high investments..

The growth model in China is based on cheap exports which require  efficiency hence, producing at a lower cost than other international competitors so that their products are more attractive for consumers in the international markets due to their low price. <u>If large investments are accomplished to implement renewable energy resources, production costs would rise spectacularly, spoil the competitiveness of Chinese products and slow the country's growth level. </u>

sasho [114]

The correct answer is true.

It is true that Sir Isaac Newton not only described the law of gravity, but he also discovered a mathematical relationship to measure the force of gravity between any two objects.

It is well known that Isaac Newton was a man ahead of his time. He had a brilliant mathematician mind and could compare the acceleration of the moon with the acceleration of things on our planet. He discovered the dependence of gravity upon the distance of different objects.

It all started with the fall of an apple from the tree and ended up as the Isaac Newton Law of Universal Gravitation.
