Three types of fossil fuels are: Coal, natural gas and oil.

Coal is made from millions of years of decaying land vegetation. Over the years the layers are heated and compressed, eventually becoming coal.

Oil comes from marine microorganism remains resting on the seafloor. After millions of years it finds itself in rock and sediment, where it can be trapped in small spaces.

Natural gas is also made from marine microorganisms. Natural gas mainly consist of methane and is often found deep down in the earth, compressed in small amounts hidden in the rock.

Answer:

coal, oil and natural gas.

Explanation:

Fossil fuel is a general term for buried combustible geologic deposits of organic materials, formed from decayed plants and animals that have been converted to crude oil, coal, natural gas, or heavy oils by exposure to heat and pressure in the earth's crust over hundreds of millions of years.

A shot is fired at an angle of 60 degree horizontal with Kinetic energy E. If air resistance is ignored, the K.E at the top of t

Lapatulllka [165]

I'm not sure what "60 degree horizontal" means.

I'm going to assume that it means a direction aimed 60 degrees
above the horizon and 30 degrees below the zenith.

Now, I'll answer the question that I have invented.

When the shot is fired with speed of 'S' in that direction,
the horizontal component of its velocity is S cos(60) = 0.5 S ,
and the vertical component is S sin(60) = S√3/2 = 0.866 S . (rounded)

-- 0.75 of its kinetic energy is due to its vertical velocity.
That much of its KE gets used up by climbing against gravity.

-- 0.25 of its kinetic energy is due to its horizontal velocity.
That doesn't change.

-- So at the top of its trajectory, its KE is 0.25 of what it had originally.

That's E/4 .
