Answer:

Ocean currents are formed by a heat current called <u>convection.</u>

Explanation:

Ocean currents are caused by two different things, the wind and convection. Convection is a process that changes the temperature of the water and causes movement. Convection occurs because the water in the ocean heats up and becomes less dense.

Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

Antarctic Circle

Explanation:

The Tropic of Cancer, which is also referred to as the Northern Tropic, is the most northerly circle of latitude on Earth at which the Sun can be directly overhead. This occurs on the June solstice, when the Northern Hemisphere is tilted toward the Sun to its maximum extent.

Tropic of Capricorn Is it Southern Hemisphere counterpart, marking the most southerly position at which the Sun can be directly overhead.

The half-life of the radioactive isotope Carbon-14 is about 5730 years. Find N in terms of t. The amount of a radioactive elemen
Fudgin [204]

The complete queston is The amount of a radioactive element A at time t is given by the formula

A(t) = A₀e^kt

Answer:  A(t) =N e^( -1.2 X 10^-4t)

Explanation:

Given

Half life =  5730 years.

A(t) =A₀e ^kt

such that

A₀/ 2 =A₀e ^kt

Dividing both sides by A₀

1/2 = e ^kt

1/2 = e ^k(5730)

1/2 = e^5730K

In 1/2 =  5730K

k = 1n1/2 / 5730

k = 1n0.5 / 5730

K= -0.00012 = 1.2 X 10^-4

So that expressing   N in terms of t, we have

A(t) =A₀e ^kt

A₀ = N

A(t) =N e^ -1.2 X 10^-4t

What is the speed of a truck that travels 10 i’m in 10 minutes ?
fiasKO [112]

10km/10min is a legitimate speed. So is meters/sec, km/hour (kph), etc.  

Kph is very common for vehicles:  

10 km/10 min (60 min/hr) = 60 kph

A force of 5 n produces an acceleration of 8m/s2 in mass m1 and an acceleration of 24 m/s2 in mass m2 .what acceleration would i
Inessa [10]

Acceleration of the both masses tied together= 6m/s²

Explanation:

The force is given by F= ma

so 5= m1 (8)

m1=0.625 Kg

for m2

5=m2 (24)

m2=0.208 kg

now total mass= m1+m2=0.625+0.208

Total mass=M=0.833 Kg

now F= ma

5= 0.833 (a)

a= 5/0.833

a=6m/s²
