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

if a cat is running at a constant speed of 10km/h for 5 s, what is its average speed and what is its instantaneous speed at 4 s?

iris [78.8K]

Here a cat is running at constant speed which is given as 10 km/h for 5s

So here the average speed is defined as total distance moved in total time interval

so here it is given by

$v_{avg} = \frac{distance}{time}$

since

here speed of cat is constant so it will remain the same

And hence the average speed and instantaneous speed at any instant for this duration will remain the same

so here answer would be

average speed = 10 km/h

instantaneous speed = 10 km/h

PROJECTILE MOTION-Why isn't there any accelertion in the x direction while there is an acceleration of -g in the y direction? ..

Ahat [919]

There is no acceleration of g in the x direction because the gravitational acceleration points downward. Also, on most studies we ignore the tidal forces since we are dealing with small bodies compared to the size of the earth.
