Temperature

Question 21

A skier are going downhill has kinetic energy where did this kinetic energy come from

Answer 21

The skier is kinetic energy comes from the gravitational potential energy they had on top of the hill.

Question 22

Which method of removing coal from the ground - strip mining or subsurface mining do you think is less expensive? Explain why

Answer 22

Strip mining is less expensive because it involves removing layers of soil to expose coal near the surface requiring less labor and equipment than subsurface mining

Question 23

In what way is pollution from coal different from pollution from oil

Answer 23

Coal pollution creates more solid waste in air pollutants while oil pollution mainly causes liquid spills and carbon dioxide emissions.

Question 24

In what ways underground coal mining a dangerous occupation

Answer 24

Underground coal mining is dangerous due to the risk like cavins explosions from gas build up exposure to toxic dust and lack of ventilation

Question 25

How can higher gasoline taxes result in energy conservation

Answer 25

Higher gasoline taxes raise fuel costs encouraging less driving and promoting fuel efficiency

Question 26

According to the diagram three things that are needed to produce coal are..

Answer 26

Ancient Forest time and increasing heat and pressure

Question 27

Anthracite coal releases more energy when it is burned then ignite does. Use the diagram to explain why this statement is true

Answer 27

Yes, anthracite gets more heat and pressure, so it has more energy than lignite.

Question 28

Why is there more pressure on the buried ancient plants on the right side of the diagram than on the left side?

Answer 28

It is buried deeper underground with more layers of rock and soil pressing down on it

Question 29

According to the diagram which type of fuel is most likely to be mined by subsurface mining

Answer 29

anthracite is most likely to be mined by subsurface mining because it is found deep underground.

Question 30

According to the diagram, (---) is the fuel that forms first when the remains of the plant decay

Question 31

Explain how the temperature of an object is related to the energy the object contains in your answer tell what kind of energy the object contains

Answer 31

The temperature of an object is a related to its thermal energy high temperature means the object's particles are moving faster so it contains more thermal energy

Question 32

Describe three ways fossil fuels affect air quality

Answer 32

Forming smog, releasing toxic gases like carbon monoxide and emitting harmful particulate matters such as suit and dust

Question 33

Explain how a buyer's nation's economy can be affected if the nation must rely on stellar Nations for fossil fuels

Answer 33

Can lead to higher cost supplied destructions and price instability
