In the long run, why might it be less expensive to construct 100 geothermal power plants than to form the same area for corn to

make ethanol?

Ne4ueva [31]2 years ago

Answer:

Geothermal power plants require high-temperature (300°F to 700°F) hydrothermal resources that come from either dry steam wells or from hot water wells. People use these resources by drilling wells into the earth and then piping steam or hot water to the surface. The hot water or steam powers a turbine that generates electricity. Some geothermal wells are as much as 2 miles deep.

Assume that the polymer material has a constant refractive index of 1.5. For light of 600nm wavelength at normal incidence, what
yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

Minimum thickness will be 100 nm

Explanation:

We have given refractive index is n = 1.5

Wavelength of the light incidence \lambda= 600 nm

We have to find the smallest thickness of the film so that there will be minimum light reflect

For minimum thickness of non reflecting film

t=\frac{\lambda }{4n} , here t is thickness, \lambda is wavelength and n is refractive index

Putting all values t=\frac{600}{4\times 1.5}=100nm

So minimum thickness will be 100 nm

Action and reaction force always cancel each other. <br><br> True or False.
polet [3.4K]
False. They have same magnitude and opposite direction but they never cancel as each of them does the action on the other body, and for the forces to cancel out they need to act ob the same body.

Hope this helps!

Wow !  I understand your shock.  I shook and vibrated a little
when I looked at this one too.

The reason for our shock is all the extra junk in the question,
put there just to shock and distract us.

"Neutron star", "5.5 solar masses", "condensed burned-out star".
That's all very picturesque, and it excites cosmic fantasies in
out brains when we read it, but it's just malicious decoration.
It only gets in the way, and doesn't help a bit.

The real question is:

What is the acceleration of gravity 2000 m from
the center of a mass of 1.1 x 10³¹ kg ?

Acceleration of gravity is

                           G  ·  M / R²

      =  (6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ N·m²/kg²) · (1.1 x 10³¹ kg) / (2000 m)²

      =  (6.67 x 10⁻¹¹  ·  1.1 x 10³¹ / 4 x 10⁶)      (N) · m² · kg / kg² · m²

      =             1.83 x 10¹⁴           (kg · m / s²) · m² · kg / kg² · m²

      =             1.83 x 10¹⁴            m / s²      

That's about  1.87 x 10¹³  times the acceleration of gravity on
Earth's surface.

In other words, if I  were standing on the surface of that neutron star,
I would weigh  1.82 x 10¹² tons, give or take.
