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.

A car traveling at 30 m/s drives off a cliff that is 50 meters high? How far away does it land?

Semenov [28]

Answer:

The maximum range $R_{max}= 132. 72$ m

Explanation:

Given,

The initial velocity of the car, u = 30 m/s

The height of the cliff, h = 50 m

Let the car drives off the cliff with a horizontal velocity of 30 m/s.

The formula for a projectile that is projected from a height h from the ground is given by the relation

$R_{max}= \frac{u}{g}\sqrt{u^{2} + 2gh }$ m

Where,

g - acceleration due to gravity

Substituting the values in the above equation

$R_{max}= \frac{30}{9.8}\sqrt{30^{2} + 2X9.8X50 }$

= 132.72 m

Hence, the car lands at a distance, $R_{max}= 132. 72$ m

What is the average velocity of a car that travels 500 km in 5 hrs?

NARA [144]

Answer:

<h2>100 km/hr</h2>

Explanation:

The average velocity of the car can be found by using the formula

$v = \frac{d}{t} \\$

d is the distance

t is the time taken

From the question we have

$v = \frac{500}{5} \\$

We have the final answer as

<h3>100 km/hr</h3>

Hope this helps you
