:

35 minutes (See proof below)

Explanation:

Given

Velocity = v = 0.99c

Time = ∆t =5 minutes

Lorentz Factor is the factor by which time, length, and relativistic mass change for an object while that object is moving and it is given as

y = 1/√(1 - v²/c²) where v = velocity = 0.99c and c = time constant = 1

So,

y = 1/√(1 - (0.99c)²/c²)

y = 1/√(1 - 0.9801c²/c²)

y = 1/√(1 - 0.9801)

y = 1/√0.0199

y = 7.088812050083359

Calculating her catnap;

Catnap Time = ∆t * y

= 5 minutes * 7.088812050083359

= 35.44406025041679 minutes

= 35 minutes ----- Approximated

Answer:

Explanation:

Time = Time of catnap ÷ gamma

gamma = square root(1 - v^2/c^2)

V (speed of light) = 0.99

c (time constant) = 1.00

g = square root(1- 0.99^2/1)

g = square root (1-.99^2)

g = square root ( 1 - 0.9801)

g = 0.141

t' = 5 minutes ÷ 0.141 = 35.46 minutes

Triss [41]

the world's current population is 7.3 billion and the world population in 1915 was 1.8 billion. The increase over the past century is 7.3 billion - 1.8 billion = 5.5 billion. So, the correct answer would be "more than 5 billion" (option D).

Cinder cone volanoes are
Fofino [41]
A cinder cone or scoria cone is a steep conical hill of loose pyroclastic fragments, such as either volcanic clinkers, cinders, volcanic ash, or scoria that has been built around a volcanic vent. They consist of loose pyroclastic debris formed by explosive eruptions or lava fountains from a single, typically cylindrical, vent. As the gas-charged lava is blown violently into the air, it breaks into small fragments that solidify and fall as either cinders, clinkers, or scoria around the vent to form a cone that often is symmetrical; with slopes between 30–40°; and a nearly circular ground plan. Most cinder cones have a bowl-shaped crater at the summit.

Fossil fuels are source of electricity and heat for homes. Hydro-power is used to create large volume of electricity. Solar power use light reflection mirrors to trap the energy and convert into electricity. Bio energy is used as an alternative to traditional oil.  Geothermal power is derived from the heat beneath earth's surface.
