Answer from: alleshia2007

The depth of well equals 120.47 meters.

Explanation:

The time it takes the sound to reach our ears is the sum of:

1) Time taken by the rock to reach the well floor.

2) Time taken by the sound to reach our ears.

The Time taken by the rock to reach the well floor can be calculated using second equation of kinematics as:

$h=ut+\frac{1}{2}gt^2$

where,

'u' is initial velocity

't' is the time to cover a distance 'h' which in our case shall be the depth of well.

'g' is acceleration due to gravity

Since the rock is dropped from rest hence we infer that the initial velocity of the rock =0 m/s.

Thus the time to reach the well base equals

$h=\frac{1}{2}gt_1^2\\\\\therefore t_{1}=\sqrt\frac{2h}{g}$

Since the propagation of the sound back to our ears takes place at constant speed hence the time taken in the part 2 is calculated as

$t_{2}=\frac{h}{Speed}=\frac{h}{340}$

Now since it is given that

$t_{1}+t_{2}=5.50$

Upon solving we get

$\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}+\frac{h}{340}=5.5\\\\\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}=5.5-\frac{h}{340}\\\\(\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}})^{2}=(5.5-\frac{h}{340})^{2}\\\\\frac{2h}{g}=5.5^2+\frac{h^2}{(340^2)}-2\times 5.5\times \frac{h}{340}$

Solving the quadratic equation for 'h' we get

h = 120.47 meters.

Answer from: Quest

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

The base of a 50-meter tower is at the origin; the base of a 50-meter tree is at (0, 50, 0). the ground is flat and the z-axis points upward. the following parametric equations describe the motion of six projectiles each launched at time t = 0 in seconds. (i) r (t) = (50 + t2)k (ii) r (t) = 2t2 j + 2t2k (iii) r (t) = 50 i + 50 j + (50 − t2)k (iv) r (t) = 2t j + (50 − t2)k (v) r (t) = (50 − 2t) i + 2t j + (50 − t)k (vi) r (t) = t i + t j + tk (a) which projectile is launched from the top of the tower and goes downward? at time t = , the projectile hits the ground at point (x, y, z) = .
