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.

You and a friend each drive 50 km to the same destination. You travel at 88.5 km/h and your friend at 94.5 km/h. How long will y
ANTONII [103]

Answer:

your friend will wait for you for 2.2 minutes.

Explanation:

Given;

Distance of the journey, d = 50 km

your speed, v₁ = 88.5 km/h

your friends speed, v₂ = 94.5 km/h

The time taken before you reached the end of the trip;

time = \frac{distance }{speed} \\\\t_1 = \frac{d}{v_1} \\\\t_1 = \frac{50}{88.5} \\\\t = 0.565 \ hour

The time taken before your friend reached the end of the trip;

time = \frac{distance }{speed} \\\\t_2 = \frac{d}{v_2} \\\\t_2 = \frac{50}{94.5} \\\\t = 0.529 \ hour \\\\

The difference in time = (0.565 - 0.529) hour

                                     = 0.036 hour

                                     = 0.036 x 60 min

                                     = 2.2 mins

Therefore, your friend will wait for you for 2.2 minutes.
