Look at the parts of the word ... you've seen them both before:

"Geo ..." . . . has something to do with the Earth.

"... thermal" . . . has something to do with heat.

"Geothermal" . . . "Earth heat".

You know that the Earth's core is liquid metals, at high temperature.
You may also know that when people go down into a deep mine, it's
always warm down there.

Some of the heat from the Earth's core soaks up through the Earth,
and there's actually a lot of it available without going too deep below
the surface.

You may have read about "hot springs" ... pools of water that are always
hot, because they extend down deep and get heated by the Earth's heat. 
And you may have seen pictures or videos of "geysers" ... deep holes in
rock where there's water down at the bottom, which gets heated by the
Earth's heat, and when it gets to boiling temperature, this stream of hot
water and steam comes shooting up out of the hole.  There are a lot of
those geysers in Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming.

Well, if there's enough of this hot water close enough to the surface,
then you can actually install pipes to bring it up to the surface, use the
hot water to heat houses and buildings, and even use the steam to spin
turbines and generate electric power !  Then you're using "Geothermal"
energy . . . "Earth heat".

The country of Iceland is almost completely based on geothermal
energy.

A beryllium-9 ion has a positive charge that is double the charge of a proton, and a mass of 1.50 ✕ 10−26 kg. At a particular in
seropon [69]

Answer:

Magnetic force, F = 3.52\times 10^{-13}\ N

Explanation:

Given that,

A beryllium-9 ion has a positive charge that is double the charge of a proton, q=2\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C=3.2\times 10^{-19}\ C

Speed of the ion in the magnetic field, v=5\times 10^6\ m/s

Its velocity makes an angle of 61° with the direction of the magnetic field at the ion's location.

The magnitude of the field is 0.220 T.

We need to find the magnitude of the magnetic force on the ion. It is given by :

F=qvB\\\\F=3.2\times 10^{-19}\times 5\times 10^6\times 0.22\\\\F=3.52\times 10^{-13}\ N

So, the magnitude of magnetic force on the ion is 3.52\times 10^{-13}\ N.

Answer:

500000N/m²

5250N

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Depth(H) = 50m

Density of water  = 1000kg/m³

Acceleration of free fall  = 10m/s

Unknown:

Pressure the water exerts on the diver = ?

Solution:

Pressure is the force per unit area on a body. In fluids, pressure is the product of density, gravity and height

  Pressure in fluids  = Density x acceleration due to gravity x height

Input the variables and solve;

    Pressure in fluids  = 1000 x 10 x 50  = 500000N/m²

B.

width of window = 150mm

height of window = 70mm

Force water exerts on the window = ?

To solve this problem;

         Pressure  = \frac{Force}{Area}

Area of the window = width x height  = 150 x 10⁻³ x 70 x 10⁻³

                                                           = 1.05 x 10 ⁻²m²

Force  = pressure x area

Input the variables;

             = 500000N/m²   x  1.05 x 10 ⁻²m²

             = 5250N
