Answer:
Global dependence on fossil fuels has associated social costs.
Explanation:
Increased dependence on fossil fuels reduces their availability. When the demand is high and the availability is low, the price rises. Not every nation would then be able to afford buying fossil fuels at such high costs.
Developing and underdeveloped countries would then be left behind and only the wealthy nations would be able to afford fossil fuel purchase. This would be the immediate impact of global dependence on fossil fuels.
Fossil fuels are mainly coal, petroleum and natural gas. Since fossil fuels are non-renewable in nature over exploitation may lead to fossil fuels getting exhausted.
Answer: a) 8.2 * 10^-8 N or 82 nN and b) is repulsive
Explanation: To solve this problem we have to use the Coulomb force for two point charged, it is given by:
Replacing the dat we obtain F=82 nN.
The force is repulsive because the points charged have the same sign.
The source of heart for a (an) close system is electricity.
