Sea water contains 3.5% salts, dissolved gasses, organic substances and undissolved particulate matter. The presence of salts influences most physical properties of sea water to some degree but does not determine them. Some properties are not significantly affected by salinity. Two properties which are determined by the amount of salt in the sea are conductivity and osmotic pressure.

Ideally, salinity should be the sum of all dissolved salts in grams per kilogram of sea water. In practice, this is difficult to measure. The observation that - no matter how much salt is in the sea - the various components contribute in a fixed ratio, helps overcome the difficulty. It allows determination of salt content through the measurement of a substitution quantity and calculation of the total of all material making up the salinity from that measurement.

Determination of salinity could thus be made through its most important component, chloride. Chloride content was defined in 1902 as the total amount in grams of chlorine ions contained in one kilogram of sea water if all the halogens are replaced by chlorides. The definition reflects the chemical titration process for the determination of chloride content and is still of importance when dealing with historical data.

Salinity was defined in 1902 as the total amount in grams of dissolved substances contained in one kilogram of sea water if all carbonates are converted into oxides, all bromides and iodides into chlorides, and all organic substances oxidized. The relationship between salinity and chloride was determined through a series of fundamental laboratory measurements based on sea water samples from all regions of the world ocean and was given as

So the correct answer would be

High salinity and cold temperature result in denser water.

A ball is kicked at a speed of 16m/s at 33° and it eventually returns to ground level further down field.
saw5 [17]

Hi there!

We can begin by calculating the time taken to reach its highest point (when the vertical velocity = 0).

Remember to break the velocity into its vertical and horizontal components.

Thus:

0 = vi - at

0 = 16sin(33°) - 9.8(t)

9.8t = 16sin(33°)

t = .889 sec

Find the max height by plugging this time into the equation:

Δd = vit + 1/2at²

Δd = (16sin(33°))(.889) + 1/2(-9.8)(.889)²

Solve:

Δd = 7.747 - 3.873 = 3.8744 m

Explain what parallel medium boundaries do to the path of the wave after it travels through both boundaries. (air and water)
Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

The boundaries cause the waves to change direction an effect called <u>refraction.</u>

Explanation:

When a wave crosses a boundary between different materials, the speed of the wave and its wavelength changes.When passing from air to water the two properties (speed and wavelength) decreases, and the wave is observed to change direction as it crosses the boundary between the two material.The bending of the wave is called refraction.
