<h2>Answer</h2>

Option D - Coal

<u>Explanation</u>

A fossil fuel power plant is a thermal power station in which fossil fuels are burned to produce electricity. Coal is a fossil fuel which is formed from the buried remains of plants and animals. Burning coal releases the energy that the plant absorbed from the sun. This energy is used to generate steam which is used to move a turbine to produce electricity. In this way, coal is burned by the power plants to produce electricity. In most of the countries, such plants provide most of the electrical energy used.

<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is: D. Coal

<h2>Why?</h2>

Coal power plants burn coal in to get steam, the steam flows into a turbine which is coupled to an electrical generator.

Coal power plants work burning high amounts of coal into a boiler, generation a lot of steam under extreme pressures. The steam is obtained when the water is heated by the burning coal, then the steam is cooled, being transformed in liquid water again (due the condensation process) and it's sent back on a cyclical process.

If a skydiver jumps out of a plane horizontally (in other words with no initial vertical velocity), then what will her vertical
erastovalidia [21]

The final vertical velocity of the skydiver at 50.8 m of fall is 31.56 m/s.

<h3>Time of motion of the girl</h3>

The time of motion of the girl is calculated as follows;

h = vt + ¹/₂gt²

where;

  • v is initial vertical velocity = 0
  • t is time of motion
  • g is acceleration due to gravity

Substitute the given parameters and solve for time of motion;

50.8 = 0 + ¹/₂(9.8)t²

2(50.8) = 9.8t²

101.6 = 9.8t²

t² = 101.6/9.8

t² = 10.367

t = √10.367

t = 3.22 seconds

<h3>Final vertical velocity of the skydiver</h3>

vf = vi + gt

where;

vi is the initial vertical velocity = 0

vf = 0 + 9.8(3.22)

vf = 31.56 m/s

Thus, the final vertical velocity of the skydiver at 50.8 m of fall is 31.56 m/s.
