Use of fossil fuels has not lead to increased use of wood as heat source.

Answer: Option D

<u>Explanation:</u>

Fossil fuels are materials required to generate heat or thermal energy and they are obtained by the decomposed remains of plants, animals and human beings. But the fossil fuels generally present in the bottom layer of earth crust or sometimes mixed with stones or rock minerals. So we need to highly energetic drilling devices to extract the fossil fuels.

Thus, before the introduction of fossil fuels, wood is used as the igniting source for heat energy. But the entry of fossil fuels have reduced the use of wood as igniting source in cooking, burning etc.

Thus, the use of fossil fuels have increased exchange of culture and ideas as fuels are mostly imported from other nations, it lead to development of faster transportation methods and increased the availability of products including heat, plastics and medicine. But similarly, the use of fossil fuels have not increased the use of wood as heat source, instead it decreased the use of wood as heat source.

Two charges, Q1 and Q2, are separated by 6·cm. The repulsive force between them is 25·N. In each case below, find the force betw

Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

a) 5 N b) 225 N c) 5 N

Explanation:

a) Per Coulomb's Law the repulsive force between 2 equal sign charges, is directly proportional to the product of the charges, and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them, acting along the line that joins the charges, as follows:

F₁₂ = K Q₁ Q₂ / r₁₂²

So, if we make Q1 = Q1/5, the net effect will be to reduce the force in the same factor, i.e. F₁₂ = 25 N / 5 = 5 N

b) If we reduce the distance, from r, to r/3, as the factor is squared, the net effect will be to increase the force in a factor equal to 3² = 9.

So, we will have F₁₂ = 9. 25 N = 225 N

c) If we make Q2 = 5Q2, the force would be increased 5 times, but if at the same , we increase the distance 5 times, as the factor is squared, the net factor will be 5/25 = 1/5, so we will have:

F₁₂ = 25 N .1/5 = 5 N

In a grandfather clock, the second hand moves forward by one second for each half period of the clock’s pendulum.

Maurinko [17]

To solve the problem it is necessary to take into account the concepts related to simple pendulum, i.e., a point mass that is suspended from a weightless string. Such a pendulum moves in a harmonic motion -the oscillations repeat regularly, and kineticenergy is transformed into potntial energy and vice versa.

In the given problem half of the period is equivalent to 1 second so the pendulum period is,
