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.

what is the main difference between a substance going through a physical change and one going through a chemical ?

Ainat [17]

Answer: Physical changes only change the appearance of a substance, not its chemical composition. Chemical changes cause a substance to change into an entirely substance with a new chemical formula. Chemical changes are also known as chemical reactions.

Here it is an application of Newton's III law

as we know by Newton's III law that every action has equal and opposite reaction

So here as we know that two boys jumps off the boat with different forces

from front side of the boat the boy jumps off with force 45 N which means as per Newton's III law if boy has a force of 45 N in forward direction then he must apply a reaction force on the boat in reverse direction of same magnitude

So boat must have an opposite force on front end with magnitude 45 N

Now similar way we can say

from back side of the boat the boy jumps off with force 60 N which means as per Newton's III law if boy has a force of 60 N in backward direction then he must apply a reaction force on the boat in reverse direction of same magnitude

So boat must have an opposite force on front end with magnitude 60 N

So here net force due to both jump on the boat is given by

$F_{net} = F_1 - F_2$

$F_{net} = 60 - 45$

$F_{net} = 15 N$

so boat will have net force F = 15 N in forward direction due to both jumps

The gnaphosid spider Drassodes cupreus has evolved a pair of lensless eyes for detecting polarized light. Each eye is sensitive

BartSMP [9]

Answer:

Part A

The intensity is $I = 618 W/m^2$

Part B

The intensity is $I_1= 81.884 W/m^2$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The intensity of the light detected by first eye is $I = 700 W/m^2$

Now at initial state according the question the light ray is perpendicular to the eye so it means that it is at 90° the eye

Now the first question is to obtain the intensity the first eye (the first in this case is the one focused on the light )would detect when the head is rotated by 20° its previous orientation

This is mathematically evaluated as

$I = I_i cos^2 ( 20^o)$

$I = 700\ cos^2 (20)$

$I = 618 W/m^2$

Now the second question is to obtain the intensity the first eye (the first eye in this case is the one that is not focused on the light )would detect when the head is rotated by 20° its previous orientation

Now in this case the angle between the eye and the light is 90-20 = 70°

$I_1 = 700 \ cos^2 (70)$

$I_1= 81.884 W/m^2$
