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.

Which type of electromagnetic radiation may damage central nervous system
Furkat [3]

Answer:

microwaves

Explanation:

microwaves do emit radiation, technically speaking, but it's not the DNA-damaging radiation we're used to hearing about. Microwaves, along with radio waves from (you guessed it) radio and cell phone towers, are types of non-ionizing radiation.

Lina20 [59]

Answer:

The ball impact velocity i.e(velocity right before landing) is 6.359 m/s

Explanation:

This problem is related to parabolic motion and can be solved by the following equations:

x=V_{o}cos \theta t----------------------(1)

y=y_{o}+V_{o} sin \theta t - \frac{1}{2}gt^{2}---------(2)

V=V_{o}-gt ----------------------- (3)

Where:

x = m is the horizontal distance travelled by the golf ball

V_{o} is the golf ball's initial velocity

\theta=0\° is the angle (it was  a horizontal shot)

t is the time

y is the final height of the ball

y_{o} is the initial height of the ball

g is the acceleration due gravity

V is the final velocity of the ball

Step 1: finding t

Let use the equation(2)

t=\sqrt{\frac{2 y_{o}}{g}}

t=\sqrt{\frac{2 (12.5 m)}{9.8 m/s^{2}}}

t=1.597s

Substituting (6) in (1):

67.1 =V_{o} cos(0\°) 1.597-------------------(4)

Step 2:  Finding V_{o}:

From equation(4)

67.1 =V_{o}(1) 1.597

V_0 = \frac{6.71}{1.597}

V_{o}=42.01 m/s (8)  

Substituting V_{o} in (3):

V=42.01 -(9.8)(1.597)

v =42 .01 - 15.3566  

V=26.359 m/s
