Geothermal energy is <u>heat energy that exists and is formed in the earth's crust</u> and Solar energy is <u>energy consisting of light and heat from the sun</u>. So it is FALSE

Further Explanation :  

The temperature under the earth's crust increases with increasing altitude. The temperature in the center of the earth is estimated at 5400 ° C. Geothermal energy comes from the tectonic activity on earth that has occurred since the planet was made. This heat also comes from the sun's heat absorbed by the surface of the earth. Besides this geothermal energy source addresses several phenomena:

  1. The decay of radioactive elements below the surface of the earth.
  2. The heat is released by heavy metals because it is attached to the center of the earth.
  3. Electromagnetic effects that are controlled by the earth's magnetic field.

This energy has been used to heat space from the air of Roman civilization but is now more popular for producing electrical energy. Around 10 Giga Watt geothermal power plants were installed worldwide in 2007 and accounted for around 0.3% of the world's total electricity. Geothermal energy is quite economical and environmentally friendly, but it is limited only to the tectonic border.

<span>So we want to know is it true or false that geothermal energy is derived from the Sun. Geothermal energy is heat energy that is stored in the Earth. Solar energy is energy that we get by collecting sunlight via solar collectors and turning it into electrical energy. So the answer is FALSE. </span>

Suppose the coefficient of kinetic friction between mA and the plane in the figure(Figure 1) is μk = 0.15, and that mA=mB=2.7kg.
luda_lava [24]
A ) 
T = mB g + mB a
T + mA a - mA g sin 35° = (Mi) mA g cos 35°
------------------------------------------------------------
T = 2.7 · 9.81  + 2.7 a
T = 26.487 + 2.7 a
26.487 + 2.7 a + 2.7 a - 2.7 · 9.81 · 0.574 = 0.15 · 2.7 · 9.81 · 0.819
5.4 a + 26.487 - 15.2023 = 3.2539
5.4 a = 8.0296
a = 1.487 ≈ 1.5 m/s²
B )
T = 2,7 · 9.81 = 26.487 
26.487 - 15.2035 = (Mi) · 2.7 · 9.81 · 0.819
11.2835 = (Mi) · 21.69
(Mi) = 11.2835 : 21.69 = 0.52

I got the correct answer, but I don't know what I did. Why is the answer E?
MariettaO [177]

Explanation:

Displacement is the straight line distance from the starting position to the final position.

Person X walks halfway around circle.  So her displacement is 100 m.

Person Y walks 3/4 of the way around.  So his displacement is 50√2 m ≈ 70.7 m.

Person Z walks completely around the circle, so their displacement is 0 m.

Therefore:

Z < Y < X
