Think about the various energy sources such as the sun, fossil fuels, water, wind, and nuclear power. What is the energy source
lakkis [162]

Answer:

<em>The energy source that powers my home is gotten from burning of fossil fuels.</em>

<em>No! I do not like this energy source.</em>

<em>I personally would prefer solar source of electricity</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

<em>Fossil fuels are fuels gotten from the decomposition of dead organisms over time, under intense heat and pressure</em>. They are usually found buried beneath the earth's crust where they have been formed and trapped.

Most electricity generating stations generate electricity by burning fossil fuels like natural gas and gasoline to generate electricity. <em>The problem with fossil fuels are the various part that they play in increasing carbon footprints in the atmosphere. The excess carbon in the atmosphere has been a major contributor to the global warming of planet Earth.  </em>

My preference for solar energy source is first due to its abundance unlike the fossil fuels that are already diminishing in storage beneath the earth's crust. Also, <em>solar energy is a clean source of energy that does not leave any damage on earth from its use</em>. It also promises to be a cheap source of power in the future with advances in solar technologies.

An airplane travels from st louis to portland, oregon in 4.33 hours. if the distance traveled is 2,742 kilometers, what is the a
Makovka662 [10]

Average speed = (total distance covered) / (total time to cover the distance)

                       =  (2,742 km)  /  (4.33 hours)

                       =  (2,742 / 4.33)    km/hr

                       =      633 km/hr        (rounded)

The magnetic field produced by a long straight current-carrying wire is
alexdok [17]

Answer:

proportional to the current in the wire and inversely proportional to the distance from the wire.

Explanation:

The magnetic field produced by a long, straight current-carrying wire is given by:

B=\frac{\mu_0 I}{2 \pi r}

where

\mu_0 is the vacuum permeability

I is the current intensity in the wire

r is the distance from the wire

From the formula, we notice that:

- The magnitude of the magnetic field is directly proportional to I, the current

- The magnitude of the magnetic field is inversely proportional to the distance from the wire, r

Therefore, correct option is

proportional to the current in the wire and inversely proportional to the distance from the wire.
