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 sled starts from rest,
Marrrta [24]

Answer:

25.6 m/s

Explanation:

Draw a free body diagram of the sled.  There are two forces acting on the sled:

Normal force pushing perpendicular to the hill

Weight force pulling straight down

Take sum of the forces parallel to the hill:

∑F = ma

mg sin θ = ma

a = g sin θ

a = (9.8 m/s²) (sin 38.0°)

a = 6.03 m/s²

Given:

v₀ = 0 m/s

a = 6.03 m/s²

t = 4.24 s

Find: v

v = at + v₀

v = (6.03 m/s²) (4.24 s) + (0 m/s)

v = 25.6 m/s

PLEASE HELP ME WITH A PHYSICS QUESTION!!!!!!!!!!
stira [4]

Answer:

C. 3.00 s

Explanation:

Given:

Δy = 1.80 m − 46.0 m = -44.2 m

v₀ = 0 m/s

a = -9.8 m/s²

Find: t

Δy = v₀ t + ½ at²

-44.2 m = (0 m/s) t + ½ (-9.8 m/s²) t²

t = 3.00 s

Leokris [45]

Answer:

0.037 N/m

Explanation:

The web acts as a spring, so it obeys Hook's law:

F=kx (1)

where

F is the force exerted on the web

k is the spring constant

x is the stretching/compression of the web

In this problem, we have:

- The mass of the fly is m=15 mg=15\cdot 10^{-6} kg

- The force exerted on the web is the weight of the fly, so:

F=mg=(15\cdot 10^{-6}kg)(9.81 m/s^2)=1.47\cdot 10^{-4}N

- The stretching of the web is

x=4.0 mm=0.004 m

So if we solve eq.(1) for k, we find the spring constant:

k=\frac{F}{x}=\frac{1.47\cdot 10^{-4} N}{0.004 m}=0.037 N/m
