A. power plants burn coal. A fossil-fuel power plant is one that burns fossil fuels such as coal, natural gas or petroleum (oil) to produce electricity.
b. Fossil fuels are called so because they have been derived from fossils, which were formed millions of years ago during the time of the dinosaurs. They are fossilized organic remains that over millions of years have been converted to oil, gas, and coal.
C. they are generally classified as non-renewable resources because they take millions of years to form and known viable reserves are being depleted much faster than new ones are generated.
5. a. Gravitational potential energy and work done If an object is lifted, work is done against the force of gravity. When work is done energy is transferred to the object and it gains gravitational potential energy. If the object falls from that height, the same amount of work would have to be done by the force of gravity to bring it back to the Earth’s surface. If an object at a certain height has 2000 J of gravitational potential energy, we can say that: 2000 J of work has been done in getting the object to that height from the ground and 2000 J of work would have to be done to bring it back to the ground.
Usually the angle between the y axis and x axis is 90° and we know that for furthest travel the degree angle must be 45° with the horizontal, Mo must release the ball about halfway between straight ahead and straight up
The higher the frequency, the shorter the wavelength. Because all light waves move through a vacuum at the same speed, the number of wave crests passing by a given point in one second depends on the wavelength. Speed shows how long it takes for wavelengths to travel.
