Energy of fossil fuels is also derieved from solar energy​

Physics
1 answer:
Marat540 [252]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Explanation:

All the energy in oil, gas, and coal originally came from the sun, captured through photosynthesis.for example when  we burn wood to release energy that trees capture from the sun, we burn fossil fuels to release the energy that ancient plants captured from the sun. We can think of this energy as having been deposited in a natural solar power bank over millions of years.

So, in one sense, gasoline-burning cars, coal-burning power plants, and homes heated by natural gas are all solar powered!

How does light determine whether it acts as a particle or a wave?
pishuonlain [190]
Great question. Albert Einstein proved that light acts as both a particle and a wave in his 1905 paper. This is called wave-particle duality. 
With quantum mechanics, it is easy to prove that light behaves as both a particle and a wave. 
When UV light hits a metal surface, it causes an emission of electrons. This "photoelectric effect" proves how light behaves.

An AP Physics student is attempting an FRQ problem. They arrive at the following expression for the total distance an object has
zysi [14]

The student's answer is wrong because the unit of his answer is meter - seconds which is not unit of distance (meter).

<h3>Total distance traveled by an object</h3>

The total distance traveled by an object projected upward is calculated from third equation of motion a shown below.

<h3>Equation for the motion of the object</h3>

v² = u² - 2gh

where;

  • v is final velocity
  • u is initial velocity
  • g is acceleration due to gravity

at maximum height, the final velocity is zero, v = 0

0 = u² - 2gh

2gh = u²

h = u²/2g

The equation for the total distance an object has traveled during upward projection is "h = u²/2g".

<h3>Dimension of the student's answer;</h3>

d = (2vh)/g = (m/s x m) / (m/s²)  = (m²/s) / (m/s²) = m.s

Thus, the student's answer is wrong because the unit of his answer is meter - seconds which is not unit of distance (meter).
