False! Geothermal energy is generated by Earth itself - around 4,000 miles below the surface. It is generated by the Earth's core and the most geothermal energy is created where the state of California lies.

Which statements describe nuclear reactions? Check all that apply.
Alexandra [31]

Explanation:

Nuclear reactions are the reactions in which nucleus of an atom changes either by splitting or joining with the nucleus of another atom.

There are two types of nuclear reactions.

  • Nuclear fission - In this process, large atomic nuclei splits into smaller nuclei.  
  • Nuclear fusion - In this process, two small nuclei combine together to form a large nuclei.

Both nuclear fission and fusion processes involve nuclei of atoms.

For example, ^{0}n + ^{235}_{92}U \rightarrow ^{236}_{92}U \rightarrow ^{144}_{56}Ba + ^{89}_{36}Kr + 3n + 177 MeV

Thus, we can conclude that statements which are true are as follows.

  • Nuclear reactions involve the nuclei of atoms.  
  • The products of nuclear reactions are lighter than the reactants.

What is the potential energy of a 2500 g object suspended 5 m above the earth's surface?
alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

Explanation:

Potential energy, which is the energy a body assumes at a position, can be calculated using the formula:

P.E = m × g × h

Where;

m = mass (kg)

g = acceleration due to gravity (10m/s²)

h = height (m)

What force causes a falling object to gain kinetic energy?
hoa [83]

Answer:

Gravitational Potential Energy

Explanation:

As an object falls from rest, its gravitational potential energy is converted to kinetic energy. Conservation of energy as a tool permits the calculation of the velocity just before it hits the surface.

To lift a load of 100 kg a distance of 1 m an effort of 25 kg must be applied over an inclined plane of length 4 m. What must be
Troyanec [42]
Using conservation of energy law:-
∑ work in = ∑ work out
and work= force* displacement 
so when we wanted to move a 100kg a distance of 1m 
we multiplied 100*1 = work out
so work in should be equal to 100*g Joules, where g is the acceleration due to gravity.
so workout = 100*g = 25*g *x (divide both sides by 25*g)
x=4m 

by the same way:-
------------------------
work in = 100kg * 2m * g (m/s^2)= work out
so work out = 25*x*g = 200* g (divide both sides by 25*g)
x=8m
