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.

When conduction electrons pass through a device with resistance, which describes their energy?
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

a) their potential energy increases.

Explanation:

Ohm's Law is

R= V/I

Where R= Resistance

V= potential difference or potential energy

I= current or conduction electron flow rate

Clearly R and V are directly proportional i-e Potential energy increases with resistance.

Suppose a spring has a relaxed length of 28.3 cm. The simulation refers to this as the natural length. This is the length of the
den301095 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Normal length of spring = 28.3 cm

stretched length of spring = 38.2 cm

length of extension = 38.2 - 28.3 = 9.9 cm

= 9.9 x 10⁻² m

force applied to stretch = .55 x 9.8 ( mg )

= 5.39 N

Force constant = force applied / extension

= 5.39 / 9.9 x 10⁻²

= .5444 x 10² N /m

= 54.44 N/m

Given that a lever has a mechanical advantage of 6.0 and is 100% efficient, if the resistance is to be lifted 2.0 inches, then h
Shalnov [3]
The mechanical advantage of a machine is the ratio of the force produced by the machine to the force applied to it. Therefore, we may calculate the applied force using:
Mechanical advantage = force by machine / force applied
6 = 2 / force applied
Force applied = 1/3

Thus, the distance that the effort must move will be 1/3 inch

Explain why materials such as plastic foam, feathers, and fur are poor conductors of heat.
vampirchik [111]
They are poor conductors because they keep the heat trapped in one spot, while other materials like metal let the heat go through itself.
