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>

When a gun is fired at the shooting range, the gun recoils (moves backward). Explain this using the law of conservation of momen
12345 [234]
The total momentum is unchanged according to the law of conservation of momentum. When the gun is fired, the bullet gains a high velocity forward (positive velocity), and that velocity multiplied by its mass is the momentum the bullet gains. Therefore, the gun must gain a momentum backwards to cancel out that momentum forward, so the gun recoils back with a negative velocity.

Research the potential for a large earthquake off the coast of Oregon. What are two of the biggest concerns with a large earthqu
Sphinxa [80]

There is a 33% chance of a large earthquake off the coast of Oregon.

The two main concerns of a large earthquake are Gas fires and Tsunami .

Explanation:

Everytime a large earthquake hits in any other part of the world, We find a small earthquake hitting off the coast of Oregon.

So scientists feel that as United States is prone to Earthquakes, the people have to be prepared for such eventualities.

The main concern for this large earthquake is, that it might lead to gas leakages at homes that can start a gas fire, which might spread. So people have to be careful and check  on any gas leakages.

Such large earthquakes can also lead to tsunami waves. So people have to take precautions and evacuate, if they are near the coastline.

Two wires with the same resistance have the same diameter but different lengths. If wire 1 has length L 1 and wire 2 has length
SVEN [57.7K]

Answer with Explanation:

We are given that

Length of wire 1=L_1

Length of wire 2=L_2

Resistivity of copper wire=\rho_1=1.7\times 10^{-5}\Omega-m

Resistivity of aluminum wire=\rho_2=2.82\times 10^{-5}\Omega-m

Wire 1=Copper wire

Wire 2=Aluminum wire

Diameter of both wires are same and resistance of both wires are also same.

We know that

Resistance =\frac{\rho l}{A}

When diameter of wires are same then their cross section area are also same .

l=\frac{RA}{\rho}

When resistance and area are same then the length of wire depend upon the resistivity of wire .

The length of wire is inversely proportional to resistivity.

When resistivity is greater then the length of wire will be short and when the resistivity  is small then the length of wire will be large.

\rho_1

Therefore, L_1>L_2

Hence, the length of wire 1 (copper wire) is greater than the length of wire 2 (aluminum).

\frac{L_1}{L_2}=\frac{\frac{RA}{1.7\times 10^{-5}}}{\frac{RA}{2.82\times 10^{-5}}}=1.66

L_1=1.66L_2
