Answers:
Most of the world’s energy comes from what three sources?
Oil, coal, and gas.
These energy sources are called <u>fossil</u> fuels and they are <u>non-renewable</u> resources.
Fuel type: oil
How it's formed: from the remains of ancient marine organisms
Its uses: transportation, industrial power, heating and lighting, lubricants, petrochemical industry, and use of by-products
Fule type: coal
How it's formed: when dead plant matter decays into peat and is converted into coal by the heat and pressure of deep burial
Its uses: electricity generation, metal production, cement production, chemical production, gasification, and other industrial uses
Fuel type: gas
How it's formed: decomposed organic matter mixed with mud, silt, and sand on the seafloor
Its uses: heating & cooling buildings, cooking foods, fueling vehicles, and electricity generation
Answer:
gravitational potential energy
Explanation:
a. You can rule out kinetic energy because it is a different type (the energy of motion).
<u>b. this is correct, because it is the energy that depends on an objects place on the gravitational field. As you can imagine, an object resting at a high place could be moved by gravity if it has the chance to fall.</u>
c. I am assuming you meant elastic, and that can be ruled out because while that is potential energy, it is dependent upon being stretched (for example a rubber band holds elastic energy when stretched).
d. mechanical energy is the sum of both kinetic and potential energy, and the question specifically asks about potential energy.
