A. power plants burn coal. A fossil-fuel power plant is one that burns fossil fuels such as coal, natural gas or petroleum (oil) to produce electricity.
b. Fossil fuels are called so because they have been derived from fossils, which were formed millions of years ago during the time of the dinosaurs. They are fossilized organic remains that over millions of years have been converted to oil, gas, and coal.
C. they are generally classified as non-renewable resources because they take millions of years to form and known viable reserves are being depleted much faster than new ones are generated.

a. Gravitational potential energy and work done
If an object is lifted, work is done against the force of gravity.
When work is done energy is transferred to the object and it gains gravitational potential energy.
If the object falls from that height, the same amount of work would have to be done by the force of gravity to bring it back to the Earth’s surface.
If an object at a certain height has 2000 J of gravitational potential energy, we can say that:
2000 J of work has been done in getting the object to that height from the ground
and
2000 J of work would have to be done to bring it back to the ground.
Answer:
Solid at room temperature
Explanation
Since these elements are metals they must be said at room temperature
When light ray pass from air into water, its speed and wavelength change only the frequency of the light doesn't change.
Light travels slower in a medium of higher refractive index. It bends because of this change in speed. The wavelength of light also changes in order to maintain the constant frequency.
I believe the answer is chemical reactivity because: Characteristics such as melting point, boiling point, density, solubility, color, odor, etc. are physical properties.
Distance = (speed) x (time)
Distance = (20 m/s) x (500 s)
Distance = (20 x 500) (m·s / s)
Distance = 10,000 m
