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

Note: The rope is 20 m long. Answer like this: (1. 2._____ etc)

qaws [65]

Answer:

1. Potential energy, 2. Potential and kinetic energy, 3. Potential and kinetic energy, 4. Potential and kinetic energy, 5. Potential energy

Explanation:

We note that the total mechanical energy (M.E.) of the body is given as follows;

M.E. = K.E. + P.E. = Constant

Where;

K.E. = The kinetic energy of the body = (1/2)·m·v²

P.E. = The potential energy of the body = m·g·h

m = The mass of the person

v = The velocity with which the person is in motion

g = The acceleration due to gravity ≈ 9.81 m/s²

h = The height of the person above the ground

The length of the rope = 20 m

The initial height at location 1, h₁ = 40.0 m

At location 1, the velocity, v₁ = 0.00 m/s

The mechanical energy, M.E. = K.E.₁ + P.E.₁

∴ K.E.₁ = 0 and P.E.₁ = m ×9.81×40

M.E. = (1/2) ×m ×0² + m ×9.81×40

∴ M.E. = 0 + P.E.₁ the type of energy present at location 1 is only potential energy

At location 2, the velocity, v₂ = 10.0 m/s

The mechanical energy, M.E. = K.E.₂ + P.E.₂ = (1/2) ×m ×10² + m ×9.81×40

∴ K.E.₂ = 50·m and P.E.₂ = m ×9.81×35 = 343.35·m

M.E. = 50·m + 343.35·m the type of energy at location 2 is both kinetic energy, K.E. and potential energy, P.E.

At location 3, the velocity, v₃ = 20.0 m/s

The mechanical energy, M.E. = K.E.₃ + P.E.₃ = (1/2) ×m ×20² + m ×9.81×20

∴ K.E.₃ = 200·m and P.E.₃ = m ×9.81×20 = 196.2·m

M.E. = 200·m + 196.2·m the type of energy at location 3 is both kinetic energy, K.E. and potential energy, P.E.

At location 4, the velocity, v₄² = 350.0 m²/s², h₄ = 15.0 m

The mechanical energy, M.E. = K.E.₄ + P.E.₄ = (1/2) × m ×350 + m ×9.81×15

∴ K.E.₄ = 175·m and P.E.₄ = m×9.81×15 = 147.15·m

M.E. = 175·m + 147.15·m the type of energy at location 4 is both kinetic energy, K.E. and potential energy, P.E.

At location 5, the velocity, v₅ = 0 m/s, h₅ = 10.0 m

The mechanical energy, M.E. = K.E.₅ + P.E.₅ = (1/2) × m × 0 + m ×9.81×10

∴ K.E.₅ = 0·m and P.E.₅ = m×98.1 = 98.1·m

M.E. = 0·m + 98.1·m the type of energy at location 5 is only potential energy, P.E.

Therefore, we have;

$\left|\begin{array}{ccc}Location&&Type(s) \ of \ Energy \ Presents\\1&&Potential \ Energy\\2&&Potential \ and \ Kinetic \ Energy\\3&&Potential \ and \ Kinetic \ Energy\\4&&Potential \ and \ Kinetic \ Energy\\5&&Potential \ Energy\end{array} \right |$

How does approaching a temperature of absolute zero affect kinetic energy.?

Alexus [3.1K]

First of all the kinetic energy is when the particles move in continuous random motion.

If the temperature is high the colliding particles will collide more. and if the temperature is low the colliding particles will collide less.

Low temperature result in low kinetic energy
High temperature result in high kinetic energy

Absolute zero is the point where where all molecules have no kinetic energy. It is a theoretical value (it has never been reached).

The Kelvin temperature scale is based on absolute zero being the lowest possible temperature that could theoretically be reached. That is why there is no such thing as a negative Kelvin temperature value.

Which action can be explained by physics?

steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

Actions that underlie mathematical rules, patterns or probability distributions.

For example how fast something falls at any given point or time.

More complex actions, such as human decision making in single individuals would be way too complicated to describe in physical terms.

But note that there can be physical models of such things as traffic when we can assume statistical knowledge of behavior.

Also physical models are used to plan such things as emergency exits in big stadiums, because many thousands of people can be described as particles flowing under a given pressure.

Every time we can gain good statistical knowledge and can therefore see patterns and rules in action, we can build theoretical models to make predictions and simulations (and games btw)

Since it's fair to say that mathematics is the science of patterns, it is plausible that physical descriptions often come in mathematical formulations, so that it can be understand as an efficient language of physics.

Neighboring disciplines like chemistry relay on physical theories to build on them,and then add shortcuts to fit their needs and interests, generating an own language for their field of study. But physicists may refer to them as anadd-on to physics.

Physics can basically explain all actions wich you can express in numbers.

But note that on a fundamental level physics describes 'how' things work, not necessarily 'why' they do it this way. The source of the basic and most fundamental physical constants and rules remains a mystery till this day.But of course there are theories on that as well, wich mostly can neither be proved or falsified.

The text is my own work and based of my general knowledge and quintessence of lectures on physics and other fields I attended.
