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.

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.
(a) The kinetic energy of the projectile when it reaches the highest point in its trajectory is 900 J.
(b) The work done in firing the projectile is 2,500 J.
<h3>
Kinetic energy of the projectile at maximum height</h3>
The kinetic energy of the projectile when it reaches the highest point in its trajectory is calculated as follows;
K.E = ¹/₂mv₀ₓ²
where;
- m is mass of the projectile
- v₀ₓ is the initial horizontal component of the velocity at maximum height
<u>Note:</u> At maximum height the final vertical velocity is zero and the final horizontal velocity is equal to the initial horizontal velocity.
K.E = (0.5)(2)(30²)
K.E = 900 J
<h3>Work done in firing the projectile</h3>
Based on the principle of conservation of energy, the work done in firing the projectile is equal to the initial kinetic energy of the projectile.
W = K.E(i) = ¹/₂mv²
where;
- v is the resultant velocity
v = √(30² + 40²)
v = 50 m/s
W = (0.5)(2)(50²)
W = 2,500 J
Thus, the kinetic energy of the projectile when it reaches the highest point in its trajectory is 900 J.
The work done in firing the projectile is 2,500 J.

Answer:
When air rises in the atmosphere it gets cooler and is under less pressure. When air cools, it's not able to hold all of the water vapor it once was. Air also can't hold as much water when air pressure drops. The vapor becomes small water droplets or ice crystals and a cloud is formed.

Answer:
Second Option
Explanation:
The "hard drive" or the second option is one of the main components of storing information on a computer. You already have a hard drive built into your computer, or laptop when you buy it, and you can buy additional hard drives in the form of plugins that can store even more data if your original hard drive becomes full of data.
Hope this helps.
Answer:
1) the unit of power is A.Watt
2)100J=50W
100=50s
divide both sides by 50s
S=2s(A)
