How is geothermal energy trapped? state a draw back of this kind of energy.​

Physics
1 answer:
Dmitriy789 [7]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Geothermal energy can be trapped using geothermal plants that utilizes steam escaping from the earth surface to make electricity.

The limitations include :

  • depletion of the geothermal source
  • high costs of investments required for geothermal systems

Explanation:

Geothermal energy originates in form of heat/steam escaping from the inner parts of the earth surface. The steam trapped is converted to electricity through turbines. The hot water pumped by heat pumps can be used to heat homes or for heating purposes in industries.

The limitations of geothermal energy are high initial capital costs for installing the systems, depletion of geothermal sites after sometime, environmental concerns due to greenhouse gases emissions and land requirements for geothermal projects.

What type of heat transfer is used to fry an egg in a pan and how can you tell?
Deffense [45]

Answer: Option (B) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A process in which transfer of heat occurring when one object touches another object is known as conduction.  

For example, when a pan is heated and then an egg is placed over the pan. Then there will be transfer of heat from pan towards the egg.

As a result, the egg gets cooked because the egg was touching the pan.

Hence, we can conclude that it is conduction because the egg is touching the pan.

A jet plane comes in for a downward dive as shown in the figure below.
xxTIMURxx [149]

The solution would be like this for this specific problem:

<span>5.5 g = g + v^2/r </span><span>
<span>4.5 g = v^2/r </span>
<span>v^2 = 4.5 g * r </span>
<span>v = sqrt ( 4.5 *9.81m/s^2 * 350 m) </span>
v = 124 m/s</span>

So the pilot will black out for this dive at 124 m/s. I am hoping that these answers have satisfied your query and it will be able to help you in your endeavors, and if you would like, feel free to ask another question.

Two billion people jump up in the air at the same time with an average velocity of 7.0 m/sec. If the mass of an average person i
faust18 [17]

Well first of all, you must realize that it depends on how the jumpers are distributed on the earth's surface.  If,say, one billion of them are in the eastern  hemisphere and the other billion are in the western one, then the sum of all of their momenta could easily be zero, and have no effect at all on the planet.  I'm pretty sure what you must have in mind is to consider the Earth to be a block, with a flat upper surface, and all the people jump in the same direction.

average mass per person = 60 kg.
jump velocity = 7 m/s straight up and away from the block, all in the same direction
one person's worth of momentum = (m) (v) = 420 kg.m/s
sum of two billion of them = 8.4 x 10¹¹ kg-m/s all in the same direction

Earth's "recoil" momentum = 8.4 x 10¹¹ in the opposite direction = (m) (v)

Divide each side by 'm' :     v = (momentum) / (mass) =

The Earth's "recoil" velocity is   (8.4 x 10¹¹) / (5.98 x 10²⁴) = 

                                                               1.405 x 10⁻¹³ m/s =

                                              <em> 0.00000000014 millimeter per second

</em>
I have no intuitive feeling for this kind of thing, so can't judge whether
the answer is reasonable.  But my math and physics felt OK on the
way to the solution, so that's my answer and I'm sticking to it.
