2. Observe: What is the initial value of vy? 57.45 m/s 3. Calculate: The vertical velocity of a projectile is found with the equation: Vy - Vylinitial) – gt.
A. What will be the value of Vy when the ball is at the top of its trajectory?!
B. Using the equation above, solve for t when Vy = 0.0 m/s, Vy(initial) = 57.45 m/s, and
g = 9.81 m/s?
C. Now use the same method to determine how long it will take the ball to fall from its
maximum height to the ground:
D. Based on your answers to B and C, how long will the ball spend in the air?

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
