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.

Answer:

(1) 1×10⁻⁴

Explanation:

From the question,

α = (ΔL/L)/(ΔT)............. Equation 1

Where α = linear expansivity of the metal plate, ΔL/L = Fractional change in Length, ΔT = Rise in temperature.

Given: ΔL/L = 1×10⁻⁴, ΔT = 10°C

Substitute these values into equation 1

α  = 1×10⁻⁴/10

α = 1×10⁻⁵ °C⁻¹ .

β = (ΔA/A)/ΔT................... Equation 2

Where β = Coefficient of Area expansivity, ΔA/A = Fractional change in area.

make ΔA/A the subject of the equation

ΔA/A = β×ΔT.......................... Equation 3

But,

β = 2α.......................... Equation 4

Substitute equation 4 into equation 3

ΔA/A = 2α×ΔT................ Equation 5

Given: ΔT = 5°C, α = 1×10⁻⁵ °C⁻¹

Substitute into equation 5

ΔA/A = ( 2)×(1×10⁻⁵)×(5)

ΔA/A  = 10×10⁻⁵

ΔA/A  = 1×10⁻⁴

Hence the right option is (1) 1×10⁻⁴

Qual a massa de água a 45 °C que devemos misturar com 200 g de água a 15 °C, para que o sistema entre em equilíbrio térmico a 35
Stells [14]

Responda:

400 g

Explicação:

Dado o seguinte:

Deixe Mass (m1) = m em t1 = 45 ° C

Massa (m2) = 200g em t2 = 15 ° C

Equilíbrio térmico (T) = 35 ° C

Usando a relação:

m1 * C * ΔT = m2 * C * ΔT

Onde m1 e m2 são as massas; C = capacidade de calor específico da água e ΔT é a mudança de temperatura

m1 * ΔT = m2 * ΔT

m * (45 ° C - 35 ° C) = 200 * (35 ° C - 15 ° C)

10 * m = 200 * 20

10 * m = 4000

m = 4000/10

m = 400g
