What causes deep ocean currents?

Physics

Ocean currents are caused by density differences in the water and move water masses through the deep ocean

Currents may also be generated by density differences in water masses caused by temperature and salinity variations. These currents move water masses through the deep ocean—taking nutrients, oxygen, and heat with them.

A skydiver of mass 87 kg falls straight down. If air resistance exerts 355 N of force on him as he falls, what is the net force
alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

497.6 N

Explanation:

From the question,

The net force on the skydiver = weight of the skydiver- the resistive force of air

F' = W-F...................... Equation 1

Where W = weight of the skydiver, F = resistive force of air.

But,

W = mg................ Equation 2

Where m = mass of the skydiver, g = acceleration due to gravity.

Substitute equation 2 into equation 1

F' = mg-F............ Equation 3

Given: m = 87 kg, F = 355 N, g = 9.8 m/s²

Substitute these values into equation 3

F' = 87(9.8)-355

F' = 852.6-355

F' = 487.6 N

A charged particle moves through a velocity selector at a constant speed in a straight line. The electric field of the velocity
WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

The charge-to-mass ratio of the particle is 5.7 × 10⁵ C/kg

Explanation:

From the formulae

F = qvB and F = mv²/r

Where F is Force

q is charge

v is speed

B is magnetic field strength

m is mass

and r is radius

Then,

qvB = mv²/r

qB = mv/r

We can write that

q/m = v/rB ---- (1)

Also

From Electric force formula

F = Eq

Where E is the electric field

and magnetic force formula

F = Bqv

Since, electric force = magnetic force

Then, Eq = Bqv

E = Bv

∴ v = E/B

Substitute v = E/B into equation (1)

q/m = (E/B)/rB

∴ q/m = E/rB²

(NOTE: q/m is the charge to mass ratio)

From the question,

E =  3.10 ×10³ N/C

r = 4.20 cm = 0.0420 m

B = 0.360 T

Hence,

q/m = 3.10 ×10³ / 0.0420 × (0.360)²

q/m = 569517.9306 C/kg

q/m = 5.7 × 10⁵ C/kg

Hence, the charge-to-mass ratio of the particle is 5.7 × 10⁵ C/kg.

A bar magnet whose magnetic dipole moment is 21 A·m2 is aligned with an applied magnetic field of 3.6 T. How much work must you
iren [92.7K]

Answer:

The amount of work must be do to rotate the bar magnet is 151.2 J

Explanation:

Given:

Magnetic moment \mu = 21 A. m^{2}

Magnetic field B = 3.6 T

To find work do to rotate the bar magnet,

From the formula of work done in case of magnetic field,

    U = \mu .B \cos 0 -\mu .B \cos 180

Here \theta changes 0 to 180

But \cos 180 = -1

    U = 2\mu B

    U = 2 \times 21 \times 3.6

    U = 151.2 J

Therefore, the amount of work must be do to rotate the bar magnet is 151.2 J
