Think about how geothermal energy is captured and used. Explain how geothermal energy shows the flow of thermal energy from hot

to cold or cold to hot.
Physics
1 answer:
kumpel [21]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

People can capture geothermal energy through: Geothermal power plants, which use heat from deep inside the Earth to generate steam to make electricity. Geothermal heat pumps, which tap into heat close to the Earth's surface to heat water or provide heat for buildings

When the weather is cold, the water or refrigerant heats up as it travels through the part of the loop that's buried underground. Once it gets back above ground, the warmed water or refrigerant transfers heat into the building. The water or refrigerant cools down after its heat is transferred.

A car moving 20 km/h skids 30 m with locked brakes. how far will the car skid with locked breaks if it were traveling at 100 km/
Inessa05 [86]

Kinetic energy = (1/2) (mass) (speed)²

Since the 'speed' in the KE formula is squared, if the car's speed
increases by 5 times, its kinetic energy increases by (5²) = 25 times.

The loss of kinetic energy in a skid is just the wo0rk done by friction
between the tires and pavement.  So the skid distance is proportional
to the initial kinetic energy, and the car must skid 25 times as far when
it enters the skid at the higher speed.

         25 x 30m  =  750 meters

Light travels from medium X into medium Y. Medium Y has a higher index of refraction. Consider each statement below:(i) The ligh
ahrayia [7]

Answer:

i) FALSE,  ii) TRUE,  iii) FALSE, iv)  FALSE

Explanation:

When light (electromagnetic radiation) travels through a material medium, its speed is less than the speed of light in a vacuum. If we define the index of parts

           n = c / v

where v is the speed of light in the material medium.

The direction of the ray can be determined by the law of refraction

          n₁ sin θ₁ = n₂ sin θ₂

Let's apply these equations to our case where

          nₓ <n_y

i) The expression of the refractive index

          nₓ < n_y

         \frac{c}{v_x} = \frac{c}{n_y}

         v_y <vₓ

therefore the expression is FALSE

ii) If we use the law of refraction, the light, when passing from a medium with a lower start to another with a higher index, must approach the normal one, away from what would be the continuation of the path of the incident ray

so the expression is TRUE

iii) The speed of light is constant in all material media

the statement is FALSE

iv) light approaches normal

Let me clarify that the normal is a line perpendicular to the surface at the point of contact, not the direction of Io.

How much work (MJ) must a car produce to drive 125 miles if an average force of 306 N must be maintained to overcome friction?
baherus [9]

Answer:

The right solution is "61.557 MJ". A further explanation is given below.

Explanation:

The given values are:

Force,

F = 306 N

Drive,

D = 125 miles,

i.e.,

  = 201168

meters

As we know,

The work done will be:

= F\times S

On substituting the given values, we get

= 306\times 201168

= 61557408 \ J

On converting it in "MJ", we get

= 61.557\times 10^6 \ J

= 61.557 \ MJ
