Answer:

B. Millions of years of high pressure and temperature.

  • Millions of years of high pressure and temperature the ancient forests turn into fossil fuels.

Explanation:

Fossil fuels were formed from the dead remains of living organisms millions of years ago. They were formed under high pressure and high temperature.

  • Coal : about 300 million years ago the earth had this forest in low lying wetland areas. Due to natural processes like flooding, these forest god buried under the soil. As more soil deposited over them, they were compressed. Under high pressure and high temperature, dead plants got slowly converted into coal.
  • Petroleum : Petroleum was formed from organisms living in the sea. As these organisms died, their bodies settled at the bottom of the sea and got covered with layers of soil and clay. Over millions of years, absence of air, high pressure and high temperature transformed the dead organisms into Petroleum.

Coal, Petroleum and natural gas are fossil fuels.

calculate the time (in years) it would take to send a message to the Galactic Capitol located at the center of our Milky Way gal
Alinara [238K]

Answer:

The total time is \bf{52850~Yr}.

Explanation:

Given:

The distance between Galactic Capitol and Earth is, d = 2.5 \times 10^{20}~m

The speed of light is, c = 3 \times 10^{8}~m/s

The time taken by the message to reach and come back to Earth is given by

t &=& \dfrac{2d}{c}\\~~&=& \dfrac{2(2.5 \times 10^{20}~m)}{3 \times 10^{8}~m/s}\\~~&=& 1.6 \times 10^{12}~s\\~~&=& \dfrac{1.6 \times 10^{12}~s}{(86400 \times 365)~s}~Yr\\~~&\approx& 52849~Yr

In addition they take 1 year to decide to reply.

Thus, the total time is 25850~Yr.

Could a vector ever be shorter than one of its components? Equal in length to one of its components? Explain.
yaroslaw [1]
It can never be shorter than a component - magnitude of a vector is the square root of the sum of the components squared, and a square function never produces a negative number. However, it can be the same size as it's component, if that component is the only one.

An 5kg object is 6 meters up hill. Find potential energy
Mila [183]
Potential Energy = mass * 9.81 * height
(9.81 is the acceleration due to gravity on Earth)

PE = 6 * 9.81 * 6 = 353.16 J
