Billy, a mountain goat, is rock climbing on his favorite slope one sunny spring morning when a rock comes hurtling toward him from a ledge 40.0 m above.
Billy ducks and avoids injury. a) How fast is the rock traveling when it passes
Billy? b) How does this speed compare to that of a car traveling down the
highway at the speed limit of 25 m/s (equivalent to 55 mi/h)?

This question can be solved by using the law of conservation of energy.

a) The rock is traveling at "28 m/s" when it passes billy.

b) The speed of the rock is "1.12 times" the speed of the car.

a)

We can find the speed of the rock by using the law of conservation of energy:

Loss of Potential Energy = Gain in Kinetic Energy

where,

v = speed of the rock = ?

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

h = height = 40 m

Therefore,

v = 28 m/s

b)

Now, we find the ratio between the speed of the rock and the speed of the car:

The attached picture explains the law of conservation of energy.

There is not enough information to solve how fast the rock was traveling

They are both very fast, as mountain goats are very fast, and if he ducks, he was faster than the rock. The speed compares

Explanation:

I did find this tho.

-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
