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

Explanation:

Understanding that stars are naturally quite hot, imagine I pulled a piece of hot iron from a furnace. It would glow a bright red, and then slowly fade to black as the iron cools.

White dwarfs glow for the same reason - they are HOT!

In both a dry cell and a wet cell battery, what causes the production of an electrical current.

koban [17]

Answer:

a. chemical reaction

Explanation:

In both a dry and wet cell battery, electric currents are produced through chemical reactions.

Both cells are together called electrochemical cells.

In these cells, chemical reactions produce an electric current.
They are devices that converts chemical energy into electrical energy
The reactions here are spontaneous redox reactions.
This causes the current to flow on their own in the circuit.

During what time interval was the object traveling most quickly?

anygoal [31]

ANSWER

0s to 3s

EXPLANATION

To find the time interval where the object was traveling more quickly, we have to find the velocity of the object during each interval.

From a position-time graph, we can obtain the velocity of the object from the slope of the graph in each interval. To find those slopes, we just have to divide the vertical difference by the time interval.

The interval from 0s to 3s:

$v=\frac{7-3}{0-3}=-\frac{4}{3}m/s$

The interval from 3s to 5s and the interval from 7s to 8s have a horizontal line, so the slope is zero and therefore the velocity is zero - meaning that the object was not moving during these periods.

The interval from 5s to 7s,

$v=\frac{5-3}{7-5}=\frac{2}{2}=1m/s$

And the interval from 8s to 12s,

$v=\frac{0-5}{12-8}=-\frac{5}{4}m/s$

Two of these three velocities are negative. Negative velocity indicates that the object is moving backward.

From these velocities, the greatest one, in absolute value, is the one between 0s to 3s. During this interval, the object is moving backward but at the greatest velocity.
