Geothermal energy is derived from the sun. True or False?

Physics
2 answers:
GaryK [48]3 years ago

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>

In a science fiction story, a microscopic black hole is given an enormous positive charge by firing an un-neutralized ion drive
Olegator [25]

Answer: distance d = 4.73e10m

Explanation: Suppose the charge on the black hole is 5740 C which is a positive charge.

Using electric potential V formula:

V = kq / d

Where K = 9.05×10^9Nm^2/C

And e = 1.6×10^-19C

But you don't need to substitute it.

1090 V = 8.99e9N·m²/C² * 5740C /d

Make d the subject of formula

d = 4.73e10 m

A steel ball of mass 0.500 kg is fastened to a cord that is 70.0 cm long and fixed at the far end. The ball is then released whe
Liula [17]

Answer:

a) v₁fin = 3.7059 m/s   (→)

b) v₂fin = 1.0588 m/s     (→)

Explanation:

a) Given

m₁ = 0.5 Kg

L = 70 cm = 0.7 m

v₁in = 0 m/s   ⇒  Kin = 0 J

v₁fin = ?

h<em>in </em>= L = 0.7 m

h<em>fin </em>= 0 m   ⇒    U<em>fin</em> = 0 J

The speed of the ball before the collision can be obtained as follows

Einitial = Efinal

⇒ Kin + Uin = Kfin + Ufin

⇒ 0 + m*g*h<em>in</em> = 0.5*m*v₁fin² + 0

⇒ v₁fin = √(2*g*h<em>in</em>) = √(2*(9.81 m/s²)*(0.70 m))

⇒ v₁fin = 3.7059 m/s   (→)

b)  Given

m₁ = 0.5 Kg

m₂ = 3.0 Kg

v₁ = 3.7059 m/s    (→)

v₂ = 0 m/s

v₂fin = ?

The speed of the block just after the collision can be obtained using the equation

v₂fin = 2*m₁*v₁ / (m₁ + m₂)

⇒  v₂fin = (2*0.5 Kg*3.7059 m/s) / (0.5 Kg + 3.0 Kg)

⇒  v₂fin = 1.0588 m/s     (→)

Help me calculate the kinetic energy (just the middle column) ASAP! SHOW WORK! ON PAPER
lukranit [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

I can tell you what the answers for the middle column are, but if you don't know how to solve total energy problems, they won't make any sense to you at all.

First row, KE = 0

Second row, KE = 220500 J

Third row, KE = 183750 J

Fourth row, KE = 205800 J

That's also not paying any attention to significant digits because your velocity only had 1 and that's not enough to do the problem justice. I left all the digits in the answer. Round how your teacher tells you to.
