For the considerably longer periods– decades to millennia – which are relevant for climate change, the slightly larger heat capacity of the deep ocean<span> is </span>important. Ocean currents<span> and mixing by winds and waves can transport and redistribute heat to deeper </span>ocean<span> layers.</span>

A blow-dryer and a vacuum cleaner each operate with a voltage of 120 V. The current rating of the blow-dryer is 13 A, while that
Feliz [49]

Answer:

(a) 1560 W

(b) 576 W

(c) 1.01

Explanation:

Voltage, V = 120 V

Current in dryer, I = 13 A

current in vacuum cleaner, i' = 4.8 A

(a) Power consumed by dryer,

P = V I = 120 x 13 = 1560 W

(b) Power consumed by vacuum cleaner

P' = V I' = 120 x 4.8 = 576 W

(c) Energy consumed by dryer

E = P x t = 1560 x 15 x 60 = 1404000 J

Energy consumed by the vacuum cleaner

E' = P' x t' = 576 x 40 x 60 = 1382400 J

the ratio of energies is

E : E' = 1404000 : 1382400 = 1.01

How much work will it take to lift a 2-kg pair of hiking boots 2 meters off the
AnnyKZ [126]

Answer:

Option C - 39.2 J

Explanation:

We are given that;

Mass; m = 2 kg.

Distance moved off the floor;d = 10 m.

Acceleration due to gravity;g = 9.8 m/s².

We want to find the work done.

Now, the Formula for work done is given by;

Work = Force × displacement.

In this case, it's force of gravity to lift up the boots, thus;

Formula for this force is;

Force = mass x acceleration due to gravity

Force = 2 × 9.8 = 19.2 N

∴ Work done = 19.6 × 2

Work done = 39.2 J.

Hence, the Work done to life the boot of 2 kg to a height of 2 m is 39.2 J.

In certain cases, using both the momentum principle and energy principle to analyze a system is useful, as they each can reveal
kramer

Explanation:

The gravitational force equation is the following:

F_G = G * \frac{m_1 m_2}{r^2} \\

Where:

G = Gravitational constant = 6.67408 * 10^{-11} m^3 kg^{-1} s^{-2}

m1 & m2 = the mass of two related objects

r = distance between the two related objects

The problem gives you everything you need to plug into the formula, except for the gravitational constant. Let me know if you need further clarification.
