Fossil fuels are formed by organic remains that have been buried under rock. "Organic remains" can include animals and plants (think of oil and dinosaurs).

Fossil fuels were formed by the compression of dead plants and animals due to high pressure and temperature.
Some fossil fuels are coal, petroleum and natural gas

Answer:

vₐ = v_c $( \ 1 + \frac{1}{2} ( \frac{\Delta M}{M} - \frac{\Delta R}{R}) \ )$

Explanation:

To calculate the escape velocity let's use the conservation of energy

starting point. On the surface of the planet

Em₀ = K + U = ½ m v_c² - G Mm / R

final point. At a very distant point

Em_f = U = - G Mm / R₂

energy is conserved

Em₀ = Em_f

½ m v_c² - G Mm / R = - G Mm / R₂

v_c² = 2 G M (1 /R - 1 /R₂)

if we consider the speed so that it reaches an infinite position R₂ = ∞

v_c = $\sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R} }$

now indicates that the mass and radius of the planet changes slightly

M ’= M + ΔM = M ( $1+ \frac{\Delta M}{M}$ )

R ’= R + ΔR = R ( $1 + \frac{\Delta R}{R}$ )

we substitute

vₐ = $\sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R} } \ \frac{\sqrt{1+ \frac{\Delta M}{M} } }{ \sqrt{1+ \frac{ \Delta R}{R} } }$

let's use a serial expansion

√(1 ±x) = 1 ± ½ x +…

we substitute

vₐ = v_ c ( $(1 + \frac{1}{2} \frac{\Delta M}{M} ) \ ( 1 - \frac{1}{2} \frac{\Delta R}{R} )$ )

we make the product and keep the terms linear

vₐ = v_c $( \ 1 + \frac{1}{2} ( \frac{\Delta M}{M} - \frac{\Delta R}{R}) \ )$

Just need help with 1 and 2 please :D i’m having a bit of trouble :/

1. Traveling by car means you have specific roads to follow. You won’t be able to go straight to Banning high from POLAHS. The 8.4km will be defined as distance. Traveling by helicopter you don’t have roads to follow that means you can fly directly to banning high. 6.8km will be defined as displacement.

2. A) 400m
B)0m
C)d=1/2(vi+vf)t
400=1/2(0+vf)92
8.7m/s
D) 0m/s
E) Not sure but instantaneous velocity refer to velocity at a given point. Average velocity is just the average. Usually instantaneous velocity won’t be same as the average velocity.
Plz like if it helped.
