a) El Niño is defined as an abnormal weather pattern caused by the warming of the Pacific Ocean near the equator, off the coast of South America. The sun warms the water near the equator, which can make more clouds and, therefore, more rain. It has detrimental effects on biodiversity leading to its large-scale loss by
warmer sea temperatures leading to plankton and fish kills in coastal waters
lower sea levels leading to exposure of underwater coral reefs, causing their loss.
Answer: 3 m.
Explanation:
Neglecting the mass of the seesaw, in order the seesaw to be balanced, the sum of the torques created by gravity acting on both children must be 0.
As we are asked to locate Jack at some distance from the fulcrum, we can take torques regarding the fulcrum, which is located at just in the middle of the length of the seesaw.
If we choose the counterclockwise direction as positive, we can write the torque equation as follows (assuming that Jill sits at the left end of the seesaw):
mJill* 5m -mJack* d = 0
60 kg*5 m -100 kg* d =0
Solving for d:
d = 3 m.
Answer: The cylinder
Explanation:
Among all other solid shapes, the sphere has the smallest area for a given volume.
By experiment, the ratio of the radius of a sphere to a cylinder of equal volume is less than 1.
Recall;
That the Rate of transfer of convective heat (Q) = h × A ×change in temperature.
Where ,
h= the co efficient of convective heat transfer
A= the cross sectional area.
As such, since the sphere has a smaller surface area relative to the cylinder, the sphere transfers heat slower than the cylinder.
Therefore, if the sphere and cylinder are exposed to convection in the same environment, then, the cylinder cools faster.
PS; the more the Area, the higher the rate of heat transfer and vice versa.
Answer:
Explanation:
First of all, we need to find the pressure exerted on the sphere, which is given by:
where
is the atmospheric pressure
is the water density
is the gravitational acceleration
is the depth
Substituting,
The radius of the sphere is r = d/2= 1.1 m/2= 0.55 m
So the total area of the sphere is
And so, the inward force exerted on it is
