Answer;

C. geothermal power

Explanation;

Geothermal power is considered to be a sustainable, renewable source of energy because the heat extraction is small compared with the Earth's heat content. It depends the least on weather.

Geothermal energy is the heat from the Earth. It's clean and sustainable. Resources of geothermal energy range from the shallow ground to hot water and hot rock found a few miles beneath the Earth's surface, and down even deeper to the extremely high temperatures of molten rock called magma.

Of the three sources listed, geothermal energy
is the least dependent on the weather.
(Once it's installed and running, that is.)

Answer: v = 0.6 m/s

Explanation: Momentum Conservation Principle states that for a collision between two objects in an isolated system, the total momentum of the objects before the collision is equal to the total momentum of the objects after the collision.

Momentum is calculated as Q = m.v

For the piñata problem:

$Q_{i}=Q_{f}$

$m_{p}v_{p}_{i}+m_{s}v_{s}_{i}=m_{p}v_{p}_{f}+m_{s}v_{s}_{f}$

Before the collision, the piñata is not moving, so $v_{p}_{i}=0$ .

After the collision, the stick stops, so $v_{s}_{f}=0$ .

Rearraging, we have:

$m_{s}v_{s}_{i}=m_{p}v_{p}_{f}$

$v_{p}_{f}=\frac{m_{s}v_{s}_{i}}{m_{p}}$

Substituting:

$v_{p}_{f}=\frac{(0.54)(4.8)}{(4.4)}$

$v_{p}_{f}=$ 0.6

Immediately after being cracked by the stick, the piñata has a swing speed of 0.6 m/s.

To understand the nature of electric fields and how to draw field lines. Electric field lines are a tool used to visualize elect

Brrunno [24]

Explanation:

The electric field is defined as the change in the properties of space caused by the existence of a positively (+) or negatively (-) charged particle. The electric field can be represented by infinitely many lines from a particle, and those lines never intersect each other. Depending on the type of charge we can see different cases:

Let's say we have a positive charge alone (image 1). The field lines are drawn from the centre of the particle outwards to infinity (in other words, they disappear from the edge of the picture). Meaning the direction of the electric field points outwards the particle.

For a negative charge alone (image 2), the lines come from infinity to the centre, and point towards the particle (i.e. lines appear from the edge of the picture).

Let's see what happens if we have two charges together:

Two positive charges (image 3): Since the charges are of the same type (positive), the particles repel each other. Then the field lines will avoid each other so they do not join. The charge is positive, so lines point outwards.
Two negative charges (image 4): Again, the charges are both negative, so they repel. But they are negative, so the field points inwards.
Negative and positive charges (image 5): They are different charges, so the force between them is attractive. This causes the field lines from both to join. They go out of the positive and come into the negative particle.

Image 6:

The lines are passing through infinite points of the space. If we choose a certain point and measure the electric field, we can see to which direction the electric field points. This is the direction of the electric field vector. It does not matter which point we choose; the electric field vector touches the field line only at this point, which means it is tangent to the field line.

Would the solar panel work under a fluorescent or halogen light? explain your response being sure to relate your observations to

eduard

I think that the solar panel would work under a fluorescent or halogen light if the photons are being produced. These types of lights mimic sunlight so it would not work as good as the real thing but it could work. Just not be as powerful.

Ede4ka [16]

Scientist identify the process in which gravity pulled materials together forming the planets in our solar system as accretion.

Accretion is the formation model of planets in our solar system in which gravity pulls materials together forming the planets.

This formation model accounts for the formation of the inner planets made of of dense material such as iron. These planets include Mercury, venus, earth etc.

As the gravity pulls in the more dense material, the less dense material such as ice, liquid and gas colect together to form the outer planets, which include Jupiter, Uranus, etc.

So, Scientist identify the process in which gravity pulled materials together forming the planets in our solar system as accretion.
