fossil fuels

non-renewable energy resource that forms from remains of organisms that lived long ago

nuclear energy

energy released when the nuclei of atoms are split or combined

petroleum

oil used for transportation, a liquid mixture of complex hydrocarbon compounds

natural gas

neutrons used for cooking

coal

used for electricity, the most abundant energy source

cons of coal

release sulfur dioxide which makes acid rain; mining disturbs habitats, water table and pollutes water

cons of oil

spills when drilling, burning causes smog, acid rain and global warming

physics

Starting at t=0 a net external force F(t) in the +x-direction is applied to an object that has mass 3.00 kg and is initially at rest. The force is zero at t=0 and increases linearly to 5.00 N at t=4.00 s. The force then decreases linearly until it becomes zero at t=10.0 s. Draw a graph of F versus t from t=0 to t=10.0 s.

A breakdown diode has $\mathrm{iD}=-10-6(1+\mathrm{vD} / 5) 3 \quad \text { for }-5 \mathrm{V}<\mathrm{vD}<0$ where $i_D$ is in amperes. Plot $i_D$ versus $v_D$ in the reverse-bias region. Find the dynamic resistance of this diode at $I_{DQ} = -1 mA$ and at $I_{DQ} = -10 mA.$

Trace the following programs and tell what each will display. (Some require a calculator.)
A.
(Assume the user enters 38711. Use a calculator.)

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
    double salary, monthly;
    cout << "What is your annual salary? ";
    cin >> salary;
    monthly = static_cast<int>(salary) / 12;
    cout << "Your monthly wages are " << monthly << endl;
    return 0;
}

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
    long x, y, z;
    x = y = z = 4;
    x += 2;
    y -= 1;
    z *= 3;
    cout << x << " " << y << " " << z << endl;
    return 0;
}

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
#define WHO "Columbus"
#define DID "sailed"
#define WHAT "the ocean blue."

int main()
{
    const int WHEN = 1492;
    cout << "In " << WHEN << " " << WHO << " "
    << DID << " " << WHAT << endl;
    return 0;
