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.

Answer:

The spring force constant is $k=243\ \frac{N}{m}$ .

Explanation:

We are told the mass of the ball is $m=0.0555\ kg$ , the height above the spring where the ball is dropped is $h=0.536\ m$ , the length the ball compresses the spring is $d=0.04897\ m$ and the acceleration of gravity is $9.8\ \frac{m}{s^{2}}$ .

We will consider the initial moment to be when the ball is dropped and the final moment to be when the ball stops, compressing the spring. We supose that there is no friction so the initial mechanical energy $E_{mi}$ is equal to the final mechanical energy $E_{mf}$ :

$E_{mf}=E_{mi}$

Initially there is only gravitational potential energy because the force of the spring isn't present and the speed is zero. In the final moment there is only elastic potential energy because the height is zero and the ball has stopped. So we have that:

$\frac{1}{2}kd^{2}=mgh$
