, largely because coal is very inexpensive. But some electrical energy is generated by capturing sunlight with solar panels.
Which of these is a reason why many people want to use more solar panels and less coal?

A.
Coal is a renewable resource, while sunlight is a nonrenewable resource.
B.
Coal is more abundant than sunlight.

Answer:

C. Burning coal tends to harm the environment more than using solar panels.

Explanation:

When coal is burned, it reacts with the oxygen in the air. This reaction converts the stored potential energy, which turns into thermal energy, which is released as heat. But it also produces methane and carbon dioxide which is released into the air.

Two skaters, a man and a woman, are standing on ice. Neglect any friction between the skate blades and the ice. The mass of the
IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

a₁ = 0.63 m/s²  (East)

a₂ = -1.18 m/s²  (West)

Explanation:

m₁ = 95 Kg

m₂ = 51 Kg

F = 60 N

a₁ = ?

a₂ = ?

To get the acceleration (magnitude and direction) of the man we apply

∑Fx = m*a   (⇒)

F = m₁*a₁         ⇒      60 N = 95 Kg*a₁    

⇒  a₁ = (60N / 95Kg) = 0.63 m/s²  (⇒)  East

To get the acceleration (magnitude and direction) of the woman we apply

∑Fx = m*a   (⇒)

F = -m₂*a₂         ⇒      60 N = -51 Kg*a₂    

⇒  a₂ = (60N / 51Kg) = -1.18 m/s²  (West)

For every case we apply Newton’s 3 d Law
