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.

How do you think scientists figure out what they think the population will be in 2050?
laila [671]
They would most likely use statistics on the increase/decrease in population from previous decades and centuries. In addition to these statistics, they could use the birth and death rate and ultimately predict the increase within these next 30 years. They must also take climate change and other environmental factors into consideration when formulating such a bold prediction.

Hurricane sandy produced some of the greatest destruction along the new jersey coast in communities situated along narrow strips
FrozenT [24]

The correct answer to fill in the blank would be:

“a barrier island”

Barrier islands are coastal landforms and a category of dune system that are remarkably even or lumpy areas of sand that was formed by wave and tidal actions that are parallel to the mainland coast. Due to this feature, there are no enough sand blockades to minimize the destruction by Hurricane Sandy.

The orbital radius of an electron in a hydrogen atom is 0.846 nm. What is its de Broglie wavelength?
kotykmax [81]

Answer:

The  value  is  \lambda   = 1.329 *10^{-9} \  m

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

  The  orbital radius is  r =  0.846nm =  0.846 *10^{-9} \ m

Generally the de Broglie wavelength is mathematically represented as

      \lambda  =  \frac{2 *  \pi  r}{4}

substituting values

     \lambda  =  \frac{ 2 * 3.142  *  0.846 *10^{-9}}{4}

    \lambda   = 1.329 *10^{-9} \  m

Which molecule will undergo only london dispersion forces when interacting with other molecules of the same kind?
vfiekz [6]

Explanation:

London dispersion forces will form between non-polar molecules(polar ) that are symmetrical  like O₂, H₂, Cl₂ and noble gases.

  • The attraction here is because non-polar molecules becomes polar due to the constant motion of its electrons.
  • This lead to an uneven charge distribution at an instant.
  • A temporary  dipole or instantaneous dipole forms.
  • The temporary dipole can induce neighboring molecules to be distorted and forms dipoles as well.
  • This forms london dispersion forces.
