Answer:

Millions of years.

Explanation:

Fossil fuels are fuels formed by natural processes. It involves decomposition of dead and decaying animals, marine and plants for over million years. This some times take more than hundred million years to convert into fuel. This is why they are called non renewable resources of energy. The decomposition of dead plant species forms coal and decomposition animals of land and sea forms crude oil and gas.

Answer:

Conversion of carbon to fossil fuels takes hundreds of millions of years beneath the earth-crust.

Explanation:

Conversion of carbon to fossil fuels takes hundreds of millions of years beneath the earth-crust. Fossil fuel is formed by the anaerobic decomposition of dead remains of the plants and animals.

When the remains of the plants and animals get buried under the earth surface under high temperature and pressure it starts converting into fossil fuels. Coal, natural gas and petroleum are the extracts of the fossil fuel.

Anarel [89]

Answer:

2.25 m/s²

Explanation:

Acceleration = change in velocity / time taken

= (60-15)/20

= 2.25 m/s²

The earth rotates once per day about its axis. where would you have to stand in order to have the smallest tangential speed?

Yuliya22 [10]

<span>The earth as a whole rotates with a fixed angular velocity. Therefore, you need to be at the rotation axis to have the smallest tangential speed. This would be at the north or south pole.</span>

how will you connect three resistors of 2 ohm centrioles and 5 ohms respectively so as obtain of the result and the resistance o

victus00 [196]

Two resistor of 2Ω in series parallel to resistor 5Ω in series to a 2Ω resistor. This configuration gives to us an equivalent resistor of 2.55Ω.

To solve this problem we have to use the rules of conection of resistor in series and parallel.

A resistor R1 in serie with other resistor R2 gives us an equivalent resistor Req= R1 + R2.

A resistor R1 in parallel with other resistor R2 gives us an equivalent resistor Req = R1.R2/R1+R2.

The circuit that show an arregement of resistor which we obtain a equivalent resistor of 2.5Ω from three resistor of 2Ω and 5Ω respectively is attached in the image:

A bowling ball (mass = 7.2 kg, radius = 0.11 m) and a billiard ball (mass = 0.38 kg, radius = 0.028 m) may each be treated as un

Semenov [28]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that

Mass of bowling ball M1=7.2kg

The radius of bowling ball r1=0.11m

Mass of billiard ball M2=0.38kg

The radius of the Billiard ball r2=0.028m

Gravitational constant

G=6.67×10^-11Nm²/kg²

The magnitude of their distance apart is given as

r=r1+r2

r=0.028+0.11

r=0.138m

Then, gravitational force is given as

F=GM1M2/r²

F=6.67×10^-11×7.2×0.38/0.138²

F=9.58×10^-9N

The force of attraction between the two balls is

F=9.58×10^-9N
