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.

If you lose control of your vehicle and collide with a fixed object, such as a tree, at 60 m.p.h., the force of impact is the sa
My name is Ann [436]
You can compare the velocity of the car, 60 mph, with the velocity that a mass would acquire when falls from certain height.

First, convert 60 mph to m/s:

60 miles/h * 1.60 km/mile * 1000 m/km * 1h/3600s = 26.67 m/s

Second, calculate from what height a body in free fall reachs 26.67 m/s velocity when hits the floor.

free fall => Vf^2 = 2g*H => H = Vf^2 / (2g)

H = (26.67m/s)^2 / (2*9.8 m/s) = 36.2 m

If you consider that the height between the floors of a building is approximately 3.6 m, you get 36.2 m / 3.6 m/floor = 10 floors.

Then, you conclude that the force of impact is the same as driving you vehicle off a 10 story building.

A 34.0 %-efficient electric power plant produces 800 MW of electric power and discharges waste heat into 20∘C ocean water. Suppo
mojhsa [17]

Answer:

77647

Explanation:

\eta = Efficiency = 34%

Power used in 1 home = 0.02 MW

Total power is

P=\dfrac{800}{\eta}\\\Rightarrow P=\dfrac{800}{0.34}\\\Rightarrow P=2352.94117\ MW

Waste of power

2352.94117-800=1552.94117\ W

Number of homes would be given by

n=\dfrac{1552.94117}{0.02}=77647.0585\ homes

The number of homes that could be heated with the waste heat of this one power plant is 77647

What is the total surface charge qint on the interior surface of the conductor (i.e., on the wall of the cavity)
RSB [31]

Answer: hello your question is incomplete below is the missing part

A spherical cavity is hollowed out of the interior of a neutral conducting sphere. At the center of the cavity is a point charge, of positive charge q.

answer:

- q

Explanation:

Since the spherical cavity was carved out of a neutral conducting sphere hence the electric field inside this conductor = zero

given that there is a point charge +q at the center of the spherical cavity hence for the electric field inside the conductor to be = zero the total surface charge qint on the wall of the cavity will be -q
