Hydrogen fuel is a zero emission that uses electrochemical cells or combustion in internal engines to propel vehicles and electrical devices. It is also used in the propulsion of spacecraft and can potentially be mass produced and marketed for use in land vehicles of passengers and aircraft.

Hydrogen is located in the first group and the first period of the periodic table is the first element of the periodic table, making it the lightest element in the universe. Hydrogen is neither a metal nor a non-metal but it is still considered a non-metal. It acts like a metal when it is compressed at high densities.

Since hydrogen gas is so light, it rises in the atmosphere and therefore is rarely found in its pure form.

Answer:

Option C, oxygen

Explanation:

Fossil fuels burns in the presence of oxygen to release oxides of various forms.

Some example of burning/combustion of fossil fuels are -

a) Coal oxidizes in the presence of oxygen to release carbon dioxide.

b) Natural gas primarily consists of methane. It burns in the presence of oxygen to form CO2

c) Oil in the automobils is also a fuel made up of C, H and O and it burn in the presence of oxygen to produce carbon dioxide/CO2 from carbon, nitrous oxide/NO2 from nitrogen and sulfur dioxide/SO2 from sulphur

Thus, it is clear that fossil fuel need oxygen fro combustion.

Determine whether the given value is a statistic or a parameter. a homeowner measured the voltage supplied to his home on 20 day
Gelneren [198K]
<span>For this example, the value presented would be considered a statistic. The value is a statistic as it represents a numerical measurement of a sample. If it were a parameter, it would need to represent a numerical measurement of a population.</span>

Assume that a satellite orbits mars 150km above its surface. Given that the mass of mars is 6.485 X 10^23kg, and the radius of m
Kisachek [45]
<span>3598 seconds The orbital period of a satellite is u=GM p = sqrt((4*pi/u)*a^3) Where p = period u = standard gravitational parameter which is GM (gravitational constant multiplied by planet mass). This is a much better figure to use than GM because we know u to a higher level of precision than we know either G or M. After all, we can calculate it from observations of satellites. To illustrate the difference, we know GM for Mars to within 7 significant figures. However, we only know G to within 4 digits. a = semi-major axis of orbit. Since we haven't been given u, but instead have been given the much more inferior value of M, let's calculate u from the gravitational constant and M. So u = 6.674x10^-11 m^3/(kg s^2) * 6.485x10^23 kg = 4.3281x10^13 m^3/s^2 The semi-major axis of the orbit is the altitude of the satellite plus the radius of the planet. So 150000 m + 3.396x10^6 m = 3.546x10^6 m Substitute the known values into the equation for the period. So p = sqrt((4 * pi / u) * a^3) p = sqrt((4 * 3.14159 / 4.3281x10^13 m^3/s^2) * (3.546x10^6 m)^3) p = sqrt((12.56636 / 4.3281x10^13 m^3/s^2) * 4.458782x10^19 m^3) p = sqrt(2.9034357x10^-13 s^2/m^3 * 4.458782x10^19 m^3) p = sqrt(1.2945785x10^7 s^2) p = 3598.025212 s Rounding to 4 significant figures, gives us 3598 seconds.</span>
