It's false because in some countries it's used to make power.

Answer:

FALSE

Explanation:

Geothermal energy can be use to form electricity like other sources of energy.

In this case of geothermal energy first of all steam is produced with the help of thermal energy recovered by the geothermal energy. This steam is taken to high pressure which is used to operate the turbine.

Now this turbine will convert the mechanical energy received by steam into electrical energy.

So here this type of energy sources are used in several countries for the electricity production

Visible light passes through a diffraction grating that has 900 slits per centimeter, and the interference pattern is observed o

kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

$\Delta \lambda=14.3\ nm$

Explanation:

It is given that,

The number of lines per unit length, N = 900 slits per cm

Distance between the formed pattern and the grating, l = 2.3 m

n the first-order spectrum, maxima for two different wavelengths are separated on the screen by 2.98 mm, $\Delta Y=2.98\ mm = 0.00298\ m$

Let d is the slit width of the grating,

$d=\dfrac{1}{N}$

$d=\dfrac{1}{900\ cm}$

$d=1.11\times 10^{-5}\ m$

For the first wavelength, the position of maxima is given by :

$y_1=\dfrac{L\lambda_1}{d}$

For the other wavelength, the position of maxima is given by :

$y_2=\dfrac{L\lambda_2}{d}$

So,

$\Delta \lambda=\dfrac{\Delta y d}{l}$

$\Delta \lambda=\dfrac{0.00298\times 1.11\times 10^{-5}}{2.3}$

$\Delta \lambda=1.43\times 10^{-8}\ m$

$\Delta \lambda=14.3\ nm$

So, the difference between these wavelengths is 14.3 nm. Hence, this is the required solution.

What's the difference and similarity between O2 and 2 O ?

nasty-shy [4]

O2 refers to two oxygen atoms bonded together, while 2 O refers to two oxygen atoms that are not bonded to each other. They both have two oxygen atoms, but in O2, the oxygen atoms are bonded, while in 2O, the atoms are not.

Twin brothers, Andy and Brian, can mow their grandparents lawn together in 1212 minutes. Brian would mow the lawn by himself

Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

It will take Andy 1.198minutes to mow the lawn and it will take Brian 1,209.98minutes to mow the same lawn.

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the simultaneous equation concept, let A denote Andy and B be Brian

Andy and Brian can mow the lawn for 1212minutes i.e A+B = 1212..eqn 1

If Brian would mow the lawn by himself in 1010 minutes more than it would take Andy, this means B=1010A...eqn 2.

Substituting eqn 2 into eqn 1

Equation 1 becomes

A+1010A=1212

1011A=1212

A=1212/1011

A=1.198

B = 1010×1.198

B=1,209.98

Therefore, It will take Andy 1.198minutes to mow the lawn and it will take Brian 1,209.98minutes to mow the same lawn.

_______________ describes how much energy is required to raise an object's temperature. convection radiation conduction specific

Gelneren [198K]

Hello,

The answer should be option D "specific heat".

Reason:

Specific heat is what tells the person how my heat and or pressure is required to raised the objects temperature. Its not option A convection because I'm convection is mainly used as like the ozone layer and the suns rays. Its not option B radiation because radiation doesn't tell the person what temperature it needs in order for it to rise its more like its already rises and hot. Its also not option C because conduction is the process of a object heating another object therefore the answer is option D.

If you need anymore help feel free to ask me!

Hope this helps!

A bird is flying with a speed of 18.0 m/s over water when it accidentally drops a 2.00 kg fish. If the altitude of the bird is 5

Alina [70]

Here we go.
My abbreviations; KE = Kinetic Energy; GPE = Gravitational Potential Energy.

So first off, we know the fish has KE right when the bird releases it. Why? Because it has horizontal velocity after released! So let’s calculate it:
KE = 1/2(m)(V)^2
KE = 1/2(2)(18)^2
KE = 324 J

Nice!
We also know that the fish has GPE at its maximum height before release:
GPE = mgh
GPE = (2)(9.81)(5.40)
GPE = 105.95 J

Now, based on the *queue dramatic voice* LAW OF CONSERVATION OF ENERGY, we know all of the initial energy of the fish will be equal to the amount of final energy. And since the only form of energy when it hits the water is KE, we can write:
KEi + GPEi = KEf
(Remember - we found the initial energies before!)
(324) + (105.95) = KEf
KEf = 429.95J
And that’s you’re final answer! Notice how this value is MORE than the initial KE from before (324 J) - this is because all of the initial GPE from before was transformed into more KE as the fish fell (h decreased) and sped up (V increased).

If this helped please like it and comment!
