a filmmaker wants to depict a realistic dramatization of a scientist making and communicating an important scientific discovery
which plot description would best depict the methods of discovery and communication that a modern professional scientist
uses?
the scientist collaborates with others to plan and carry out an experiment and then writes a paper that has a clear
conclusion. he submits it to a professional journal for peer review, after which the results are presented publicly.
the scientist works with a few other scientists in a secret lab that is sponsored by a large business corporation. when the
scientists have results, they contact others in the scientific community to report their results.
the scientist works alone in a lab until he makes a dramatic breakthrough and then immediately announces the results
through a worldwide press conference.
the scientist seeks input and data from a wide range of people of different scientific backgrounds and then publishes all
the data and results on the internet so that all the collaborators can apply it to their individual research.

force is mass*acceleration.

we have a very small mass: 11.4*0.001 kg

if we want 0.035n of force, we need an acceleration:

0.035 = 11.4*0.001*a

a = 0.035/(11.4*0.001) m/s^2

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
