A mass tied to the end of a 1.0 m-long string is swinging back and forth From its lowest point, the mass moves 4 cm to the right, swings back through its lowest point to stop 4 cm to the left of its lowest point, then swings back to where it started. One complete swing takes about 2 s. If the amplitude of motion is doubled, so the mass swings 8 cm to one side and then the other, the period of the motion will be a. 2s b. 4 s c. 6s d. 8s

a) 2seconds.

Explanation:

The period of oscillation will not change . It will still be 2seconds although the length was doubled to 8cm.

This is because the amplitude does not change oscillation time.

-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
