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

Physics
1 answer:
Aleksandr [31]3 years ago
8 0

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.

A proton moving at 8.00 106 m/s through a magnetic field of magnitude 1.72 T experiences a magnetic force of magnitude 7.20 10-1
gladu [14]

Answer:

19.1 deg

Explanation:

v = speed of the proton = 8 x 10⁶ m/s

B = magnitude of the magnetic field = 1.72 T

q = magnitude of charge on the proton = 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ C

F = magnitude of magnetic force on the proton = 7.20 x 10⁻¹³ N

θ = Angle between proton's velocity and magnetic field

magnitude of magnetic force on the proton is given as

F = q v B Sinθ

7.20 x 10⁻¹³ = (1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹) (8 x 10⁶) (1.72) Sinθ

Sinθ = 0.327

θ = 19.1 deg

A 6 m/s vector pointing North is added to a 2 m/s vector pointing East. What are the magnitude and direction of the resultant?
irina [24]

Answer:

A + B = C      Ax = 2   Ay = 0    Bx = 0  By = 6

Ax + Bx = Cx = 2

Ay + By = Cy = 6

C = (2^2 + 6^2)^1/2 = 6.32

Tan Cy / Cx = 6 / 2 = 3

Cy at 71.6 deg

For exercise, an athlete lifts a barbell that weighs 400 N from the ground to a height of 2.0 m in a time of 1.6 s. Assume the e
Sati [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

(ΔK + ΔUg + ΔUs + ΔEch + ΔEth = W)

ΔK is increase in kinetic energy . As the athelete is lifting the barbell at constant speed change in kinetic energy is zero .

ΔK = 0

ΔUg  is change in potential energy . It will be positive as weight is being lifted so its potential energy is increasing .

ΔUg = positive

ΔUs is change in the potential energy of sportsperson . It is zero since there is no change in the height of athlete .

ΔUs = 0

ΔEth is change in the energy of earth . Here earth is doing negative work . It is so because it is exerting force downwards and displacement is upwards . Hence it is doing negative work . Hence

ΔEth = negative .

b )

work done by athlete

= 400 x 2 = 800 J

energy output = 800 J

c )

It is 25% of metabolic energy output of his body

so metalic energy output of body

= 4x 800 J .

3200 J

power = energy output / time

= 3200 / 1.6

= 2000 W .

d )

1 ) Since he is doing same amount of work , his metabolic energy output is same as that in earlier case .

2 ) Since he is doing the same exercise in less time so his power is increased . Hence in the second day his power is more .
