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.

How many atoms are there in 3.4moles if helium ,show the calculation

prohojiy [21]

Answer: 20.4752789138x x 10^23 atoms
To count how many atoms in moles you need to know Avogadro's number. Avogadro's number dictate that for every mole there is 6.022140857 × 10^23 molecule/atoms.
Then 3.4 moles of helium will be 3.4x 6.022140857 x 10^23 atoms= 20.4752789138x x 10^23 atoms

An object starts at the 100 m mark and ends up at the -100 m mark, 50

horsena [70]

It traveled 200 m in 50 seconds. 200/50 can be simplified to 4 m/s!
The velocity is -4 m/s (negative because it travelled from 100 to -100 or backwards)

notka56 [123]

Explanation:

A metal such as copper is a conductor because it provides a pathway for electric charges to move easily. A material such as rubber is an insulator because it resists the flow of electric charges. A material that partially conducts electric current is a semiconductor. These materials include group 3 and group 5 elements.
