Answer:

Refineries process oil, found in the Earth, and turn it into gasoline to be used by cars.

Explanation:

The first option describes Geothermal energy. Geothermal energy uses the heat of the Earth's crust as a heat source. It is a renewable resource.

Refineries use the oil extracted from the Earth to produce gasoline. This is a non renewable resource as the oil found in the Earth is of finite quantity and is being depleted faster than it is being replenished.

Solar panels use the sunlight to produce electricity. Sunlight is a renewable resource.

Windmill uses the power of moving air to generate electricity. Wind is a renewable resource.

The refineries that use the oil to put in their cars as gasoline and then after a while the oil will disappear and go away and that's what a nonrenewable resource would be

A elephant kicks a 5.0\,\text {kg}5.0kg5, point, 0, start text, k, g, end text stone with 150\,\text J150J150, start text, J, en

S_A_V [24]

The speed of the stone is 7.7 m/s

Explanation:

The kinetic energy of a body is the energy possessed by the body due to its motion. Mathematically,

$K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

where

m is the mass of the body

v is its speed

For the stone in this problem, we have:

K = 150 J is its kinetic energy

m = 5.0 kg is its mass

Re-arranging the equation for v, we find the speed of the stone:

$v=\sqrt{\frac{2K}{m}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(150)}{5.0}}=7.7 m/s$

a bends each wavelength of white light slightly differently so that each wavelength color comes out separated forming a rainbow

lianna [129]

The answer here is prism. The light passing through prism experiences bending of its multiple wavelength composition which allows it to visibly shows the difference in each of the light's color wavelength, violet bending the most while the least is the color red.
