The equation given in the question is
<span>h(t)= -16t^2+144
When the height becomes zero, then
- 16t^2 + 144 = 0
16t^2 = 144
(4t)^2 = (12)^2
4t = 12
t = 3
From the above deduction, it can be easily concluded that the correct option among all the options that are given in the question is the fourth option or option "D". I hope that this is the answer that has actually come to your desired help.</span>

Identify solar, wind, nuclear, and tidal power as nonrenewable or renewable energy
Nostrana [21]

Answer:

Renewable energy: Tidal, solar and wind

Non renewable energy: nuclear power

Explanation:

Renewable energy is any energy in which its source is always replenished or renewed.

While non renewable energy sources cannot be replenished or renewed immediately because of its limited availability of resources.

Most renewable energy sources are natural sources.

Solar, tidal and wind energy are renewable energy known as clean energy. While nuclear energy is a non renewable energy in which its source of energy is fuel ( uranium e.t.c)

Rzqust [24]

Answer:

The speed of a turtle is 4m/s

Explanation:

speed = distance/time

distance = 100m

time = 25s

s = 100/25

= 4m/s

Explain how polarization of a cell increases the cell's internal resistance.<br>(2<br>2.​
Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

Explanation: The chemical action that occurs in the cell while the current is flowing causes hydrogen bubbles to form on the surface of the anode. This action is called POLARIZATION. Some hydrogen bubbles rise to the surface of the electrolyte and escape into the air, some remain on the surface of the anode. If enough bubbles remain around the anode, the bubbles form a barrier that increases internal resistance. When the internal resistance of the cell increases, the output current is decreased and the voltage of the cell also decreases.

   A cell that is heavily polarized has no useful output. There are several methods to prevent polarization or to depolarize the cell.

   One method uses a vent on the cell to permit the hydrogen to escape into the air. A disadvantage of this method is that hydrogen is not available to reform into the electrolyte during recharging. This problem is solved by adding water to the electrolyte, such as in an automobile battery. A second method is to use material that is rich in oxygen, such as manganese dioxide, which supplies free oxygen to combine with the hydrogen and form water.

   A third method is to use a material that will absorb the hydrogen, such as calcium. The calcium releases hydrogen during the charging process. All three methods remove enough hydrogen so that the cell is practically free from polarization.

LOCAL ACTION

   When the external circuit is removed, the current ceases to flow, and, theoretically, all chemical action within the cell stops. However, commercial zinc contains many impurities, such as iron, carbon, lead, and arsenic. These impurities form many small electrical cells within the zinc electrode in which current flows between the zinc and its impurities. Thus, the chemical action continues even though the cell itself is not connected to a load.

   Local action may be prevented by using pure zinc (which is not practical), by coating the zinc with mercury, or by adding a small percentage of mercury to the zinc during the manufacturing process. The treatment of the zinc with mercury is called amalgamating (mixing) the zinc. Since mercury is many times heavier than an equal volume of water, small particles of impurities weighing less than mercury will float to the surface of the mercury. The removal of these impurities from the zinc prevents local action. The mercury is not readily acted upon by the acid. When the cell is delivering current to a load, the mercury continues to act on the impurities in the zinc. This causes the impurities to leave the surface of the zinc electrode and float to the surface of the mercury. This process greatly increases the storage life of the cell.
