2 answers:

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

A small water pump is used in an irrigation system. The pump takes water in from a river at 10oC, 100 kPa at a rate of 5 kg/s. T

Answer:

0.98kW

Explanation:

The conservation of energy is given by the following equation,

$\Delta U = Q-W$

$\dot{m}(h_1+\frac{1}{2}V_1^2+gz_1)-\dot{W} = \dot{m}(h_2+\frac{1}{2}V_2^2+gz_)$

Where

$\dot{m} =$ Mass flow

$h_1 =$ Specific Enthalpy (IN)

$h_2 =$ Specific Enthalpy (OUT)

$g =$ Gravity

$z_{1,2} =$ Heigth state (In, OUT)

$V_{1,2} =$ Velocity (In, Out)

Our values are given by,

$T_i = 10\°C$

$P_1 = 100kPa$

$\dot{m} = 5kg/s$

$z_2 = 20m$

For this problem we know that as pressure, temperature as velocity remains constant, then

$h_1 = h_2$

$V_1 = V_2$

Then we have that our equation now is,

$\dot{m}(gz_1) = \dot{m}(gz_2)+\dot{W}$

$\dot{W} = \frac{(5)(9.81)(0-20)}{1000}$

$\dot{W} = -0.98kW$

Where does the engery of an earthquake originate

allochka39001 [22]

From convection of magma under the earths crust makes the plates slowly move and as they move over time they build up potential energy from the different plates grinding against each other and after so long the plates will lose there grip on each other and release the potential energy they've been building up for so long as kinetic energy causing what you know as an earthquake hope this helps please give brainliest

An ice skater has a moment of inertia of 5.0 kgm2 when her arms are outstretched. at this time she is spinning at 3.0 revolution

givi [52]

With arms outstretched,
Moment of inertia is I = 5.0 kg-m².
Rotational speed is ω = (3 rev/s)*(2π rad/rev) = 6π rad/s
The torque required is
T = Iω = (5.0 kg-m²)*(6π rad/s) = 30π

Assume that the same torque drives the rotational motion at a moment of inertia of 2.0 kg-m².
If u = new rotational speed (rad/s), then
T = 2u = 30π
u = 15π rad/s
= (15π rad/s)*(1 rev/2π rad)
= 7.5 rev/s

Answer: 7.5 revolutions per second.
