You are travelling at 60.0 mph on the grand central parkway near exit 10 where it is (nearly) parallel to the long island expressway (lie). a) a truck on the lie going in the same direction as you is travelling at 55.0 mph. what is your relative velocity compared to that truck? b) a truck on the lie going in the opposite direction as you is travelling at 55.0 mph. what is your relative velocity compared to that truck?

a)Vr= 5 mph

b)Vr= 115 mph

Explanation:

Lets

your velocity ,u= 60 mph

velocity of truck ,v= 55 mph

When object are moving in opposite direction the relative velocity  = u +v When object are moving in opposite direction the relative velocity  = u - v

a)

Truck is moving in the same direction ,so the  relative velocity

Vr= = u - v

Vr= 60 - 55

Vr= 5 mph

b)

Truck is moving in the opposite direction ,so the  relative velocity

Vr= = u+v

Vr= 60 + 55

Vr= 115 mph

-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
