An object initially at rest experiences an acceleration of 2.20 m/s2 on a level surface. Under these conditions, it travels 5.00 m . Let’s designate the first 2.50 m as phase 1 with a subscript of 1 for those quantities, and the second 2.50 m as phase 2 with a subscript of 2. The times for traveling each phase should be related by which condition?

t2  = Time for whole trip - time t1  for first phase trip = 0.6 sec

Explanation:

The object starts from rest;

Vi=0 m/s

a = 2.20 m/sec2

S= distance traveled

t= time

Here we can first  calculate time expression in terms of distance S;

We know

Putting values

==>S= 0+ ×2.2×

==> = 2S/2.2

==> t = 0.953462589

Lets suppose it completes the trip without 'phases' then S here is 5 meters as a whole ;

==> t = 0.953462589 ×

==> t = 0.953462589 × 2.236067977= 2.132007163 Sec

Now let's consider phases

Phase 1:

Let S = S1 = 2.5 m

t=t1

==> t1 = 0.953462589 × =  1.507556723 sec

So for the second phase the time t2  = Time for whole trip - time t1 for first phase trip

==> t2 = 2.132007163 - 1.507556723 = 0.62445044 = 0.6 sec

so here is the information for current research:

-nrel's geothermal analysts, scientists, and engineers perform a full range of research from developing advanced methods of locating and accessing geothermal resources to exploring innovative technologies to extract and produce clean energy from the heat of the earth

and here is the information for the technology of geothermal energy:

-it's clean and sustainable

-resources of geothermal energy range from the shallow ground to hot water and hot rock found a few miles beneath the earth's surface, and down even deeper to the extremely high temperatures of molten rock called magma

-almost everywhere, the shallow ground or upper 10 feet of the earth's surface maintains a nearly constant temperature between 50° and 60°f (10° and 16°c)

-geothermal heat pumps can tap into this resource to heat and cool buildings

-a geothermal heat pump system consists of a heat pump, an air delivery system (ductwork), and a heat exchanger-a system of pipes buried in the shallow ground near the building

-in the winter, the heat pump removes heat from the heat exchanger and pumps it into the indoor air delivery system

-in the summer, the process is reversed, and the heat pump moves heat from the indoor air into the heat exchanger

-the heat removed from the indoor air during the summer can also be used to provide a free source of hot water
