I have four questions. : Consider a 2-kg bowling ball sits on top of a building that is 40 meters tall. It falls to the ground. Think about the amounts of potential and kinetic energy the bowling ball has:
•as it sits on top of a building that is 40 meters tall.
•as it is half way through a fall off a building that is 40 meters tall and travelling 19.8 meters per second.
•as it is just about to hit the ground from a fall off a building that is 40 meters tall and travelling 28 meters per second.
Number 1. What is the potential energy of the bowling ball as it sits on top of the building?
Number 2. What is the potential energy of the bowling ball half way through the fall?
Number 3. What is the kinetic energy of the ball half way through the fall?
Number 4. What is the kinetic energy of the ball just before it hits the ground?

The potential energy of the ball is 784 joules. And the kinetic energy of it is 392 while falling halfway down.

Explanation:

PE = mass (2kg) * Gravitational acceleration (9.8 m/s^2)* height (40 meters)

KE = 1/2 mass (1 kg) * velocity^2 (19.8)

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
