How did ancient organisms become fossil fuels?
Answer:
One of the most widespread beliefs about fossil fuels — oil, natural gas and coal — is that these substances started out as dinosaurs. There’s even an oil company, Sinclair, that uses an Apatosaurus as its icon. That dino-source story is, however, a myth. What is true: These fuels got their start long, long ago — at a time when those “terrible lizards” still walked the Earth.
Fossil fuels store energy in the bonds between the atoms that make up their molecules. Burning the fuels breaks apart those bonds. This releases the energy that originally came from the sun. Green plants had locked up that solar energy within their leaves using photosynthesis, millions of years ago. Animals ate some of those plants, moving that energy up the food web. Others plants just died and decayed.
Any of these organisms, when they die, can be turned into fossil fuels, notes Azra Tutuncu. She’s a geoscientist and petroleum engineer at the Colorado School of Mines in Golden. But it takes the right conditions, including an oxygen-free (anoxic) environment. And time. A whole lot of time.
The coal we burn today got its start some 300 million years ago. Back then, dinosaurs roamed the Earth. But they didn’t get incorporated into coal. Instead, plants in bogs and swamps died. As this greenery sunk to the bottom of those wet areas, it partially decayed and turned into peat. Those wetlands dried out. Other materials then settled down and covered the peat. With heat, pressure and time, that peat transformed into coal. To extract coal, people now have to dig deeply into the earth.
Ancient living organisms are buried quickly and altered by intense heat and pressure to form fossil fuels. Fossil fuels include solid coal, liquid petroleum, and liquid natural gas.

A............... pulley helps us by changing the direction of the applied effort
Answer/Explanation:
True
A fixed pulley changes the direction of the force you exert by pulling, so you can pull down to move an object up. In this fixed pulley system, you pull down on one side of the rope and the other side goes up. You use the same amount of force to pull down as you would to lift the toy yourself.

a person on a bike (m=90 kg) is traveling 4 m/s at the top of a 2 m hill. what is the bikers total energy?
A) 1,944 J
B) 2,484 J
C) 1,764 J
D) 720 J
Answer:
720 J
Explanation:
Kinetic Energy = 1/2 * m *(v*v)
M= 90 kg
V=4 m/s
KE=1/2 * 90 * (4*4)
KE= 45*16= 720 J
[tex]\frac{m}{s}[/tex]Answer: D) 720 J
Explanation:
Given : m=90kg
Total Energy = K. E. + P. E. =[tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex][tex]mv^{2}[/tex]+mgh
Since bike is present over a surface of Earth (top of hill) hence h=0m.
Therefore,
Total Energy= [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]*90kg*[tex](4m/s)^{2}[/tex]+(90kg)*(9.81[tex]\frac{m}{s}^2[/tex])x(0)
= 720 J
Hence total energy of bike is equal to 720 J

c. The force of the push on the object is different if it is stationary or not
d. The normal force on the object is different if it is stationary or not.
Thanks In Advance!! (I will mark brainliest) :)
Answer:
Explanation:
The engine should create the same force
1) F = ma
F = M(½a)
therefore
ma = ½Ma
m = ½M
M = 2m
M = 2(0.8)
M = 1.6 kg
2) Unbalanced forces
a. Two people pulling on the same side of a wheelbarrow
c. Two people of opposite sides of a big tire. One pushes the tire and one pulls it with equal force
3) b. The force of friction on the object is different if it is stationary or not

How do you explain this arrangement of fossils? What might have happened?
Answer:
The question lacks a photo to fully answer correctly
If the fossil has its neck bent backwards towards its back, that is the common way to which dinosaurs died.
If the fossil is scattered a bit from its other linking fossil pieces, than it is most likely that the dinosaur was a meal to a predator.
Fossils that are in array but are divided clearly at a section suggests that land moved. Possibly earthquake or Pangea took place.

in a closed system of a cannon and cannonball, which changes would both results in an increase in the kinetic energy of the cannonball when fired from the cannon?
A) decrease the mass of the cannon or decrease the mass of the cannonball
B) increase the mass of the cannon or decrease the mass of the cannonball
C) decrease the mass of the cannon or increase the mass of the cannonball
D) increase the mass of the cannon or increase the mass of the cannonball
Changes that would results in an increase in the kinetic energy of the cannonball in a closed system, when it is fired from the cannon is B:increase the mass of the cannon or decrease the mass of the cannonball.
A closed system can be considered one that is not been affected by external forces. With the conservation of momentum, there would be collisions as well inexplosions.This explains that when a cannon is fired, there would be gain of forward momentum by the cannon ball, while the cannon experience backward momentum.For the kinetic energy of the cannonball to increase, when fired from the cannon, then the mass is the cannon would be increased or the mass of the cannonball would be decreased.
Therefore, option B is correct.

Thinking Mathematically: Explore the quantitative dependencies of the acceleration upon the speed and the radius of curvature. Then answer the following questions. a. For the same speed, the acceleration of the object varies _____________ (directly, inversely) with the radius of curvature. b. For the same radius of curvature, the acceleration of the object varies _____________ (directly, inversely) with the speed of the object. c. As the speed of an object is doubled, the acceleration is __________________ (one-fourth, one-half, two times, four times) the original value. d. As the speed of an object is tripled, the acceleration is __________________ (one-third, one-ninth, three times, nine times) the original value. e. As the radius of the circle is doubled, the acceleration is __________________ (one-fourth, one-half, two times, four times) the original value. f. As the radius of the circle is tripled, the acceleration is __________________ (one-third, one-ninth, three times, nine times) the original value.
The expression for the centripetal acceleration allows to find the results for the questions are:
A) The acceleration varies INVERSELY with the radius of curvature.
B) The acceleration varies DIRECTLY with the speed.
C) The acceleration becomes four times greater.
D) The acceleration becomes nine times greater.
E) The acceleration is reduced to half.
F) The acceleration is reduced to a third.
In circular motion there must be an acceleration towards the center of the circle, it is called cenripetal acceleration, in this case all the energy supplied to the system is used to change the direction of the speed even when its magnitude remains constant.
[tex]a_c = \frac{v^2}{r}[/tex]
Where [tex]a_c[/tex] the centripetal acceleration, v is the speed and r the radius of curvature of the circle.
Now we can answer the questions about centripetal acceleration.
A) For the same speed, the acceleration varies INVERSELY with the radius of curvature.
B) For the same radius of curvature the acceleration varies DIRECTLY with the speed.
C) The speed is doubled
v = 2 v₀
[tex]a_c = \frac{(2v_o)^2 }{r}[/tex]
[tex]a_c = 4 \ \frac{v_o^2 }{r}[/tex]
The acceleration becomes four times greater than the original value
D) The speed is tripled
v = 3 v₀
[tex]a_c = 9 \frac{ v_o^2}{r}[/tex]
Acceleration becomes nine times greater than the original
E) the radius of curvature is doubled
r = 2 r₀
[tex]a_c = \frac{v_o^2}{2 r_o }[/tex]
[tex]a_c = \frac{1}{2} a_o[/tex]
Acceleration is reduced to half the original value
F) The radius of curvature is tripled
r = 3 r₀
[tex]a_c = \frac{v_o^2 }{3 r_o} \\ \\a_c = \frac{1}{3} a_o[/tex]
The acceleration is reduced to a third of the initial one.
In conclusion using the expression for the centripetal acceleration we can find the answers for the questions are:
A) The acceleration varies INVERSELY with the radius of curvature.
B) The acceleration varies DIRECTLY with the speed.
C) The acceleration becomes four times greater.
D) The acceleration becomes nine times greater.
E) The acceleration is reduced to half.

A block slides down an incline plane that makes a 30 degree angle with the
horizontal. If the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.3. Calculate the acceleration of the block.
Hi there!
We know that:
Force due to gravity = Mgsinθ
Force due to friction = μMgcosθ
Let the positive direction be directed in the direction of the block's acceleration, which is downward.
Thus:
ΣF = Mgsinθ - μMgcosθ
Solving for acceleration requires diving all terms by the mass, so:
a = gsinθ - μgcosθ
Substitute in given values. (g = 9.8 m/s²)
a = 9.8sin(30) - 0.3(9.8)cos(30) = 2.354 m/s²
