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>

The force pressing two stacked objects together is equal to the weight of the object on top. The friction between a piece of woo
34kurt

Answer: B. Concrete

Explanation:

Let N = reacting force pressing the bodies in context together (units in Newtons),

The question stated that the force pressing the two mounted/stacked objects together is equal to the weight of the object on top.

We need to start by finding the weight of the piece of wood.

friction is given by

f = μN

The value of f is 22.5,

and from the chart reference the coefficient of friction between wood and stone, μ is 0.30.

22.5 = 75. 0.30

Putting the values into the equation: 22.5 = 0.30N.

Divide both sides by 0.30 to find the value of N:

N= 22.5/0.3 = 75

Now that the piece of wood will be placed on another surface, its weight of 75 Newton is the force pressing the two bodies together.

To determine the new surface, you should find the new coefficient of friction by using the new value of the force of friction given 46.5:

46.5 = µ(75).

Divide both sides by 75 to isolate μ.

The refer chart also indicates that the coefficient of friction equals 0.62 between wood and concrete, so the new surface corresponding to 0.62 is the concrete, which is (B).
