The movement of deep ocean currents is mainly caused by:?

Physics
1 answer:
adoni [48]3 years ago
7 0
The relationship between the density of ocean water and the formation of deep currents. Difference in the tempature and salinity and the resulting differences in density cause variations int he movement of deep currents. For example, the deepest current , The Antarctic Bottom Water, is denser than the North Atlantic Deep Water. Both currents spread across the ocean floor as they flow toward eachother. Because less dense water always flows on top of denser water, The north Atlantic Deep Water flows on top of the Atlantic Bottom Water when the currents meet.

he "escape velocity from Earth (the speed required to escape Earth's gravity) is 2.5 x 10 miles per hour. What is this speed in
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer: 11.17\ \text{ m/s}

Explanation:

Given : The escape velocity : v=2.5\times10\text{ miles per hour}

We know that 1 mile = 1609 meters  (approx)

and 1 hour= 3600 seconds

To convert escape velocity 2.5 x 10 miles per hour into m/s , we need to multiply it by 1609.34 and divide it by 3600.

Thus, the escape velocity in m/s is given by :-

v=2.5\times10\times\dfrac{1609}{3600}\\\\=11.1736111111\approx11.17\text{ m/s}

Hence, the speed in m/s = 11.17

Two metal balls are the same size but one weighs twice as much as the other. The balls are dropped from the roof of a single sto
Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

c, About the same for both balls.

Explanation:

If no air resistance is present, the rate of descent depends only on how far the object has fallen, no matter how heavy the object is. This means that two objects will reach the ground at the same time if they are dropped simultaneously from the same height.

Steam undergoes an adiabatic expansion in a piston–cylinder assembly from 100 bar, 360°C to 1 bar, 160°C. What is work in kJ per
vfiekz [6]

Answer:

work is 130.5 kJ/kg

entropy change is 1.655 kJ/kg-k

maximum  theoretical work is 689.4 kJ/kg

Explanation:

piston cylinder assembly

100 bar, 360°C to 1 bar, 160°C

to find out

work  and amount of entropy  and magnitude

solution

first we calculate work i.e heat transfer - work =   specific internal energy @1 bar, 160°C  - specific internal energy @ 100 bar, 360°C    .................1

so first we get some value from steam table with the help of 100 bar @360°C and  1 bar @ 160°C

specific volume = 0.0233 m³/kg

specific enthalpy = 2961 kJ/kg

specific internal energy = 2728 kJ/kg

specific entropy = 6.004 kJ/kg-k

and respectively

specific volume = 1.9838 m³/kg

specific enthalpy = 2795.8 kJ/kg

specific internal energy = 2597.5 kJ/kg

specific entropy = 7.659 kJ/kg-k

now from equation 1 we know heat transfer q = 0

so - w =   specific internal energy @1 bar, 160°C  - specific internal energy @ 100 bar, 360°C

work = 2728 - 2597.5

work is 130.5 kJ/kg

and entropy change formula is i.e.

entropy change =  specific entropy ( 100 bar @360°C)  - specific entropy ( 1 bar @160°C )

put these value we get

entropy change =  7.659 - 6.004

entropy change is 1.655 kJ/kg-k

and we know maximum  theoretical work = isentropic work

from steam table we know specific internal energy is 2038.3 kJ/kg

maximum  theoretical work = specific internal energy - 2038.3

maximum  theoretical work = 2728 - 2038.3

maximum  theoretical work is 689.4 kJ/kg

A nerve impulse travels along a myelinated neuron at 90.1 m/s.<br> What is this speed in mi/h?
algol [13]

Answer:

201.5537 mph

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Speed = 90.1 m/s

Speed can be defined as distance covered per unit time. Speed is a scalar quantity and as such it has magnitude but no direction.

Mathematically, speed is given by the formula;

Speed = distance/time

To convert this value into miles per hour;

Conversion;

1 meter = 0.000621 mile

90.1 meters = 90.1 * 0.000621 = 0.05595 miles

1 metre per second = 2.237 miles per hour

90.1 meters per seconds = 90.1 * 2.237 = 201.5537 miles per hour

90.1 m/s = 201.5537 mph
