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.

taurus [48]

The force required to start an object sliding across a uniform horizontal surface is larger than the force required to keep the object sliding at a constant velocity once it starts.

The magnitudes of the required forces are different in these situations because the force of kinetic friction is less than the force of static friction. <em>(d)</em>

Drag the tiles to the correct boxes to complete the pairs. Match the sentences with the steps of the scientific method
Assoli18 [71]

Solution:

Make an Observation - An indoor plant in a dark room withers faster than the same plant in a room with ample sunlight.

Ask a question- Why do certain indoor plants die faster based on where they are placed in the house?

State a hypothesis- Sunlight is probably essential for plants to grow and live.

Run an experiment- Get two potted plants. Cover one with black paper. Place both plants outside in sunlight. See what happens to each plant after one week.

Analyze the results-The plant in the pot with black paper withered. The other plant was healthy.

Communicate the results to others - Plants need sunlight to make food so they can live.

What three factors decide how much gravitational potential energy a body has?
nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

1. Mass

2. Height

3. Gravitational Force Field

Explanation:

The three factors that decide how much gravitational potential energy a body has are: 1) The mass of the body itself, 2) The relative height at which the body is, because gravitational force varies with height i.e distance away from earth surface. 3) and finally the strength of the gravitational field the body is in.
