Describe briefly how fossil fuels were formed

2 answers:

4 0

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

The free-fall acceleration on Mars is 3.7 m/s^2. What length of pendulum has a period of 1.0 s on Earth? What length of pendulum

NemiM [27]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Free fall acceleration on mars $g_{m}=3.7\ m/s^2$

Time Period of pendulum on earth $T=1\ s$

Time period of Pendulum is given by

$T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}$

for earth

$1=2\pi\cdot \sqrt{\frac{L}{9.8}}$

$L=\frac{9.8}{(2\pi )^2}$

$L=0.498\ m$

(b)For same time period on mars length is given by

$L'=\frac{g_m}{(2\pi )^2}$

$L'=\frac{3.7}{39.48}$

$L'=0.0936\ m$

$L'=9.36\ cm$

5. An object has a momentum of 4,000 kg-m/s and a mass of 115 kg. It crashes into another object that has a mass of 100 kg, and

marishachu [46]

Answer:

D. 18.60

Explanation:

By the law of conservation, the momentum is neither loss nor gained but instead transfered. When they crash into each other, and stick, they combine to create a total mass of 215 kg. Since the momentum is transfered, the two objects, combined, have a total momentum of 4000 kg-m/s. We know that momentum equals mass times velocity. You then divide 4000 by 215 and get approximately 18.6 m/s

A piano tuner is using a 392 Hz tuning fork to tune the wire for a G-Natural note. She hears 4 beats per second. What are the tw

inysia [295]

A beat is an interference pattern between two sounds of slightly different frequencies, perceived as a periodic variation in volume whose rate is the difference of the two frequencies. Frequency beat is equal to,

$f_{beat} =| f_2\pm f_1 |$

The reference frequency in our case would be 392Hz, and since there is the possibility of the upper and lower range for the amount of beats per second that the two possible frequencies are heard would be

$f_{beat} =|392+4|= 396Hz$

$f_{beat} =|392-4|=388Hz$

Therefore the two possible frequencies the piano wire is vibrating at, would be 396Hz and 388Hz

A spring with a spring constant of 50 N/m is stretched 15cm. What is the force and energy associated with this stretching?

Olenka [21]

Data:
F (force) = ? (Newton)
k (<span>Constant spring force) = 50 N/m
x (</span>Spring deformation) = 15 cm → 0.15 m

Formula:
$F = k*x$

Solving:
$F = k*x$
$F = 50*0.15$
$\boxed{\boxed{F = 7.5\:N}}\end{array}}\qquad\quad\checkmark$

Data:
E (energy) = ? (joule)
k (Constant spring force) = 50 N/m
x (Spring deformation) = 15 cm → 0.15 m

Formula:
$E = \frac{k*x^2}{2}$

Solving:(Energy associated with this stretching)
$E = \frac{k*x^2}{2}$
$E = \frac{50*0.15^2}{2}$
$E = \frac{50*0.0225}{2}$
$E = \frac{1.125}{2}$
$\boxed{\boxed{E = 0.5625\:J}}\end{array}}\qquad\quad\checkmark$
