The correct answer is D. Coal

It is non renewable because it will not come into existence on its own if we don't mine it. Other resources will replenish over time.

A). Hydropower is continually replenished by the sun.

b). Biomass is replenished when things die, which they keep on doing.

c). Coal is replenished, but you need dead large animals and millions of years.
On the scale of human lifetimes, coal is not renewable.

A certain unbalanced force gives a 5kg object an acceleration of 15 m/s2. What would be the acceleration if the same force was a

stira [4]

Answer:

a2 = 2.5 m/s2

Explanation:

F1 = m1 a1 We use the same force so F1 = F2

= 5kg × 15m/s2 F2 = m2 a2

= 75N a2 is required

a2 = F2 / m2

= 75N / 30 kg

= 2.5 m/s2

A strontium vapor laser beam is reflected from the surface of a CD onto a wall. The brightest spot is the reflected beam at an a

sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

$d=1.29*10^{-6}m$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Distance of wall from CD $D=1.4$

Second bright fringe $y_2= 0.803 m$

Let

Strontium vapor laser has a wavelength \lambda= 431 nm=>431 *10^{-9}m

Generally the equation for Interference is mathematically given by

$y=frac{n*\lambda*D}{d}$

Where

$d=\frac{n*\lambda*D}{y}$

$d=\frac{2*431 *10^{-9}m*1.4}{0.803}$

$d=1.29*10^{-6}m$

A small block of mass 20.0 grams is moving to the right on a horizontal frictionless surface with a speed of 0.68 m/s. The block

Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

a) $v'=-0.227\ m.s^{-1}$

b) $v=1.36\ m.s^{-1}$

Explanation:

Given:

mass of the lighter block, $m'=0.02\kg$

velocity of the lighter block, $u'=0.68\ m.s^{-1}$

mass of the heavier block, $m=0.04\ kg$

velocity of the heavier block, $u=0\ m.s^{-1}$

Using conservation of linear momentum:

$m'.u'+m.u=m'.v'+m.v$

where:

$v'=$ final velocity of the lighter block

$v=$ final velocity of the heavier block

$m'.u'=m'.v'+m.v$

$m'(u'-v')=m.v$ ........................(1)

Since kinetic energy is conserved in elastic collision:

$\frac{1}{2}m'.u'^2=\frac{1}{2}m'.v'^2+\frac{1}{2}m.v^2$

$m'(u'^2-v'^2)=m.v^2$

$m'(u'-v')(u'+v')= m.v^2$

divide the above equation by eq. (1)

$v=u'+v'$ .............................(2)

now we substitute the value of v from eq. (2) in eq. (1)

$m'(u'-v')=m(u'+v')$

$\frac{m'+m}{m'-m} =\frac{u'}{v'}$

$\frac{0.02+0.04}{0.02-0.04} =\frac{0.68}{v'}$

$v'=-0.227\ m.s^{-1}$ (negative sign denotes that the direction is towards left)

now we substitute the value of v' from eq. (2) in eq. (1)

$m'(u'-v+u')=m.v$

$2m'.u'=(m-m')v$

$2\times 0.02\times 0.68=(0.04-0.02)\times v$

$v=1.36\ m.s^{-1}$

**Fill in the blanks**

Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

Word for the first blank: gravity

Word for the second blank: matter

Explanation:

The only way debris from the impact with Earth can be held close to Earth is due to a force. The only force that could be acting from Earth is "the force of gravity".

The gravitational pull of this new object being formed, increases proportional to its mass as more and more "matter" accumulates. And the accretion process is now on its way.
