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.

olasank [31]
To find the time it takes for the ball to reach the given height, we need an equation that relates the height and time it travel which is given to be <span>h=-16t^{2}+56t. We just substitute the height of 49 feet then solve for t. We do as follows:

</span><span>h=-16t^{2}+56t
49 = </span>-16t^{2}+56t
t = 1.75 seconds

Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.

vodka [1.7K]
Electroscope is the instrument that has the ability to detect the presence of an electric charge. Although electroscope has the power to measure the amount of charge, but for a perfect measurement the electrometer is used. Around the year 1600, electroscope was discovered by William Gilbert he British physician. This is a pretty primitive but highly effective instrument in regards to detecting the presence of electric charges. Two basic but effective electroscopes are the gold-leaf electroscope and the pith-ball electroscope.

Gravitational potential energy=mass*gravitational acceleration*height
Kinetic energy = 0.5*mass*velocity²
 So with the given data
K.E 0.5*1*x²=12.5 v²=12.5÷(0.5*1)
v=√12.5÷(0.5*1) v=5  
GPE mass*gravitational acceleration*height
1*9.81*h=98
h=98÷(9.81*1)
h= 9.98 m
