You are standing next to your friend, ready to race across a 100 meter field. when the go signal is given, you take 5 seconds to get to your maximum sprinting speed of 12 miles per hour (that’s about 5.4 meters per second). what is your acceleration, in meters per second squared?

We can find the acceleration by using this formula

a= vf-vi/ t

To find the acceleration to reach the maximum velocity

.  meters per second squared

We can find the distance coverted in first 5 seconds by following equation

s= vi t+ ½ at^2

He took 5 seconds to cover 13.5 meters and assuming he runs for the rest of the race at his maximum sprinting speed of 5.4 meters per seconds

Thus the total time to complete the race is

Now we can find the acceleration of the complete 100 meter race by using the first equation.

So the overall acceleration will be 0.25 meters per second squared.

-first use of geothermal energy occurred more than 10,000 years ago in north america by american paleo-indians

-the first industrial use of geothermal energy began near pisa, italy in late 18th century

-in 1904, italian scientist piero ginori conti invented the first geothermal electric power plant in which steam was used to generate the power

-with the above experiment, the first geothermal plant in usa started in 1922 with a capacity of 250 kilowatts

-however, in 1946 first ground-source geothermal heat pump installed at commonwealth building in portland, oregon

-during the 1960’s, pacific gas and electric began operation of first large scale geothermal power plant in san francisco, producing 11 megawatts

-in 1973, when oil crisis began many countries began looking for renewable energy sources and by 1980’s geothermal heat pumps (ghp) started gaining popularity in order to reduce heating and cooling costs

-as effect of climate change started showing results, governments of various countries joined hands to fight against it, for which kyoto protocol was signed in japan in 1997, laid out emission targets for rich countries and required that they transfer funds and technology to developing countries, 184 countries have ratified it

hope this
