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.

Answer:

$\omega=4.2704*10^-^5 rad/s$

Explanation:

Angular Momentum Formula For atoms= $L_{atom}=0.12Nm_{s}h$

Where:

m_{s}h is the momentum for one atom (m_s is the spin quantum number)

N is the number of atoms= $\frac{N_{A}*m}{M}$

Where:

N_A is Avogadro Number

m is the mass of sphere

M is the molar mass of iron

Angular Momentum Formula For atoms will be= $L_{atom}=0.12\frac{N_{A}m}{M} m_{s}h$

Angular Momentum of Sphere= $L_{sphere}=I\omega$

where:

$I=\frac{2mR^{2}}{5}$

So,Angular Momentum of Sphere= $L_{sphere}=\frac{2mR^{2}}{5}\omega$

Angular Momentum of sphere=Angular Momentum of atoms

$L_{sphere}$ = $L_{atom}$

$\frac{2mR^{2}}{5}\omega$ = $0.12\frac{N_{A}m}{M} m_{s}h$

For iron, $m_s =\frac{1}{2}$ . So above equation will become:

$\omega=\frac{0.12*5*N_{A}h}{4*M*R^{2} }$

Where R=2mm, M=0.0558Kg/mol (Molar Mass of iron),h=Planck's Constant/2π

$\omega=\frac{0.12*5*(6.022*10^{23})(6.63*10^{-34}/2*\pi)}{4*0.0558*(2*10^{-3})^{2}}$

$\omega=4.2704*10^-^5 rad/s$

Two common ions of manganese are Mn2+ and Mn3+. Which binary ionic compound is likely to form? A) Mn2N3 B) MnBr4 C) MnCl D) MnO

meriva

Given that Oxygen has an oxidation state of 2 -, you can combine Mn 3+ with O 2- ions to form Mn2O3, and you can combine Mn 2+ with O 2- to form Mn2O2 which is MnO.

The other compounds imply oxidation states of N, Br and Cl that does not exist.

Therefore, the answer is the option D. MnO

A 7-kg bowling ball moving at 4 m/s strikes a 1 kg bowling pin. If the ball slows to 2 m/s in 0.05 s, how much force does it exe

iren [92.7K]

Answer:

280 N

Explanation:

acceleration = v2-v1 / time taken = (2-4 )/ 0.05 = -40 m/s^2 ( neg sign indicates slowing down )

force exerted = ma = 7 kg x -40 m/s^2 = - 280 N ( neg sign means opposite direction of initial velocity )

since the 7 kg ball is slowing down, the direction of force will be opposite of the initial velocity , and it will be 280 N
