Answer:

Global warming

Explanation:

Fossil fuels are formed from the decomposition of the remains of dead plants and animals and can be burned to generate power for electricity and even transportation. Examples of fossil fuels are;

i. natural gas

ii. coal

iii. fuel oil.

When fossil fuels are burned certain harmful substances such as sulphur dioxide, carbondioxide, and methane are released into the environment. These substances (gases) are the greenhouse gases and may cause global warming.

Therefore it could be concluded that the largest suspected environmental problem associated with the burning of fossil fuels is green house effect which in turn causes global warming.

Global warming is a situation whereby there is an abnormal rise in the temperature of the earth's atmosphere caused by releases of green house gases such as carbondioxide. In global warming the ozone layer is basically depleted by the green house gases.

$\sqrt{2}$ Answer:

KE2 = 2 KE1

1/2 M V2^2 = 2 * (1/2 M V1^2)

V2^2 = 2 V1^2

V2 = $\sqrt{2}$ V1

Since momentum = M V the momentum increases by $\sqrt{2}$

3. When does the iron core in an electromagnet become magnetic?

rosijanka [135]

Answer: When electricity flows through it.

Explanation:

The electromagnet exhibits magnetic properties only as soon as current flows through the nucleus. Namely, the electric current in the space around the electrical conductor through which it passes creates a magnetic field. Unlike a permanent magnet, which has a permanent property of magnetism, the electromagnet is a temporary magnet because the magnetic field also disappears when the current ceases.

If an ocean has a wavelength of 2 m and a frequency of 1 wave/s then it's speed is ___ m/s.

scoundrel [369]

V = f x lamda

Wave speed = frequency x wavelength
2x1 = 2 so wave speed = 2m/s
