Answer:

  • <u> From your frame of reference, the speed of your friend is zero.</u>

Explanation:

The<em> speed</em> from a <em>frame of reference</em> is the magnitude of the change of the position per unit of time in that frame of reference.

When it is said that, to a <em>stationary observer</em> you have a <em>speed of 9m/s</em>, it means that the observer "measures"  tha your position, in a moment, changes 9 m per second.

Since both you and your friend are sit still on the same spinning merry-go-round, neither of you will change positions with respect to the other, meaning that you will perceive that your friend will not move, from your frame of reference. That is, if you are isolated from the rest of the universe, and the merry-go-round continues spining uniformly, you cannot detect any movement of your friend, which means that from your frame of reference, the speed of your friend is zero.

1. Earth releases about 44-46 Tw of heat, in fact heat can be converted into
Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

  even if it all could be used, it wouldn't be enough

Explanation:

The land area of the US is about 5.45% of the world's area, so the amount of released heat over the area of the US is on the order of 2.4 Tw. Current technology for converting geothermal energy to electricity is about 12% efficient, so the available energy might amount to 0.29 Tw if it could all be captured.

Energy consumption in the US in 2019 was on the order of 0.46 Tw. This suggests that even if <em>all</em> of the thermal energy radiated by the Earth from the US could be turned to useful forms of energy, it would meet only about 60% of the US need for energy.
