Answer:
<em> The elastic potential energy stored in the bungee cord = 20 J</em>
Explanation:
potential energy: This is the energy possessed by a body due to its position. The S.I unit of energy is Joules. The mathematical expression for elastic potential energy is given below
E = 1/2ke²................ Equation 1
Where E = elastic potential energy of the spring, k = force constant of the spring, e = extension
<em>Given: K = 10 N/m, e = 2.00 m</em>
<em>Substituting these values into Equation 1</em>
<em>E = 1/2(10)(2)²</em>
<em>E = 5×4</em>
<em>E = 20 Joules.</em>
<em>Therefore the elastic potential energy stored in the bungee cord = 20 J</em>

Air resistance is the answer
Answer:
even if it all could be used, it wouldn't be enough
Explanation:
The land area of the US is about 5.45% of the world's area, so the amount of released heat over the area of the US is on the order of 2.4 Tw. Current technology for converting geothermal energy to electricity is about 12% efficient, so the available energy might amount to 0.29 Tw if it could all be captured.
Energy consumption in the US in 2019 was on the order of 0.46 Tw. This suggests that even if <em>all</em> of the thermal energy radiated by the Earth from the US could be turned to useful forms of energy, it would meet only about 60% of the US need for energy.
Answer:
a) three times greater
Explanation:
Remember the heat capacity is the necessary heat to increase the temperature 1 ºC to an specific mass of the substance, in this case since the water and the metal have the same mass, is easier to compare just the neccesary heat.
Since water increases 20 ºC and the metal 60 ºC, it was neccesary 3 times of the quantity of heat to the same amount of mass of the two different susbtances.
