It uses water to power large turbines.

Geothermal power taps on the energy of natural steam from the earth's lithosphere.

Explanation:

The heat from deep in the the lithosphere heats up underground water into high-pressure steam trapped in within the rocks. Boreholes are sunk to tap on the potential energy of this high-pressure steam to turn large dynamo turbines that convert the steam energy into electricity.

The biggest advantage, moreover, is the fact that this method of electricity generation does not emit greenhouse emissions as compared to gas plants that burn hydrocarbons that release CO₂.

A convex lens has a focal length of 16.5 cm. Where on the lens axis should an object be placed in order to get a virtual, enlarg
alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

Object should be placed at a distance, u = 7.8 cm

Given:

focal length of convex lens, F = 16.5 cm

magnification, m = 1.90

Solution:

Magnification of lens, m = -\frac{v}{u}

where

u = object distance

v = image distance

Now,

1.90 = \frac{v}{u}

v = - 1.90u

To calculate the object distance, u by lens maker formula given by:

\frac{1}{F} = \frac{1}{u}+ \frac{1}{v}

\frac{1}{16.5} = \frac{1}{u}+ \frac{1}{- 1.90u}

\frac{1}{16.5} = \frac{1.90 - 1}{1.90u}

\frac{1}{16.5} = \frac{ 0.90}{1.90u}

u = 7.8 cm

Object should be placed at a distance of 7.8 cm on the axis of the lens to get virtual and enlarged image.

A hollow cylinder that is rolling without slipping is given a velocity of 5.0 m/s and rolls up an incline to a vertical height o
inysia [295]

Answer:

The hollow cylinder rolled up the inclined plane by 1.91 m

Explanation:

From the principle of conservation of mechanical energy, total kinetic energy = total potential energy

M.E_T = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 + \frac{1}{2} I \omega^2 + mgh

The total energy at the bottom of the inclined plane = total energy at the top of the inclined plane.

\frac{1}{2}mv_i^2 + \frac{1}{2} I \omega_i^2 + mg(0) =  \frac{1}{2}mv_f^2 + \frac{1}{2} I \omega_f^2 + mgh

moment of inertia, I, of a hollow cylinder = ¹/₂mr²

substitute for I in the equation above;

\frac{1}{2}mv_i^2 + \frac{1}{2} (\frac{1}{2}mr^2  \omega_i^2) =  \frac{1}{2}mv_f^2 + \frac{1}{2} (\frac{1}{2}mr^2  \omega_f^2) + mgh\\\\ but \ v = r \omega\\\\\frac{1}{2}mv_i^2 + \frac{1}{2} (\frac{1}{2}m v_i^2  ) =  \frac{1}{2}mv_f^2 + \frac{1}{2} (\frac{1}{2}m v_f^2) + mgh\\\\\frac{1}{2}mv_i^2 +\frac{1}{4}mv_i^2 = \frac{1}{2}mv_f^2 +\frac{1}{4}mv_f^2 +mgh\\\\\frac{3}{4}mv_i^2 = \frac{3}{4}mv_f^2 +mgh\\\\mgh = \frac{3}{4}mv_i^2 -  \frac{3}{4}mv_f^2\\\\gh = \frac{3}{4}v_i^2 -  \frac{3}{4}v_f^2\\\\

h = \frac{3}{4g}(v_1^2 -v_f^2)

given;

v₁ = 5.0 m/s

vf = 0

g = 9.8 m/s²

h = \frac{3}{4g}(v_1^2 -v_f^2) =\frac{3}{4*9.8}(5^2 -0) = 1.91 \ m

Therefore, the hollow cylinder rolled up the inclined plane by 1.91 m

Three people pull simultaneously on a stubborn donkey. Jack pulls eastward with a force of 80.5 N, Jill pulls with 81.7 N in the
Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

F = 233.52 N,  θ' = 351.41º

Explanation:

In this exercise we must find the net force applied on the donkey.

For this we use Newton's second law, where we create a reference frame with the horizontal x axis

let's decompose the forces

Jack

        = 80.5 N

Jill

       cos 45 = F_{2x} / F₂2

       sin 45 = F_{2y} / F₂2

       F_{2x} = F₂ cos 45

       F_{2y} = F₂ sin 45

       F_{2x} = 81.7 cos 45 = 57.77 N

       F_{2y} = 81.7 sin 45 = 57.77 N

Jane

      cos (270 + 45) = F_{3x} / F₃3

      sin 315 = F_{3y} / F₃

      F_{3x} = 131 cos 315 = 92.63 N

      F_{3y} = 131 sin 315 = -92.63 N

the force can be found in each axis

X axis

         F_{x} = F_{1x} + F_{2x} + F_{3x}

         F_{x} = 80.5 +57.77 + 92.63

         F_{x} = 230.9 N

Axis y

         F_{y} = F_{1y} + F_{2y} + F_{3y}

         F_{y} = 0 + 57.77 -92.63

         F_{y} = -34.86 N

we can give the result in two ways

a) F = (230.9 i ^ - 34.86 j ^) N

b) in the form of module and angle

we use the Pythagorean theorem

         F = √(Fₓ² + F_{y}²

        F = √(230.9² + 34.86²)

        F = 233.52 N

let's use trigonometry for the angle

        tan θ = \frac{F_y}{F_x} }

        θ = tan⁻¹ (\frac{F_y}{F_x} })

        θ = tan⁻¹ (-34.86 / 230.9)

        θ = -8.59º

if we measure this angle from the positive side of the x-axis counterclockwise

          θ' = 360 -θ

          θ‘= 360- 8.59

          θ' = 351.41º
