Hello,

The correct answer is C) The sun's radiation does not extend below a certain depth; therefore, deeper ocean water is colder than surface water.

Hope this helps!!!! :)

Thermocline is a layer between warm water from the ocean’s surface and cool water from below the ocean. In here, the temperature decreases rapidly from the warmer layer to the colder layer. A thermocline forms due to the heat of the sun heating the ocean’s surface. Because of the difference in density between warm and cooler ocean water, cooler ocean water sinks and warmer ocean water floats. This is caused due to the heat and mass transfer between particles of the ocean. The answer is letter C. The sun’s radiation does not extend below a certain depth; therefore, deeper ocean water is colder than surface water.

An experimental rocket designed to land upright falls freely from a height of 2.59 102 m, starting at rest. At a height of 86.9

aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

The acceleration required by the rocket in order to have a zero speed on touchdown is 19.96m/s²

The rocket's motion for analysis sake is divided into two phases.

Phase 1: the free fall motion of the rocket from the height 2.59*102m to a height 86.9m

Phase 2: the motion of the rocket due to the acceleration of the rocket also from the height 86.9m to the point of touchdown y = 0m.

Explanation:

The initial velocity of the rocket is 0m/s when it started falling from rest under free fall. g = 9.8m/s² t1 is the time taken for phase 1 and t2 is the time taken for phase2.

The final velocity under free fall becomes the initial velocity for the accelerated motion of the rocket in phase 2 and the final velocity or speed in phase 2 is equal to zero.

The detailed step by step solution to the problems can be found in the attachment below.

Thank you and I hope this solution is helpful to you. Good luck.

According to Newton’s law of universal gravitation, which statements are true?

andreyandreev [35.5K]

Before we solve this, we should know this fact:

According to Newton's Law of Gravitation, the force between two objects is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. The force acts along the line joining the centres of the two objects. It can be shown by this:

$F ∝ \frac{Mm}{ {d}^{2} }$

Now, let us check all the options.

A. As we move to higher altitudes, the force of gravity on us decreases.

This statement is true.

The force of gravity is inversely proportional to the square of distance from the centre of the earth. If, we go up the surface of the earth, the distance from the centre of the earth increases and hence the value of force of gravity decrease. So, force of gravity decreases with altitude.

B. As we move to higher altitudes, the force of gravity on us increases.

This statement is false.

We have already got the result in option A. that the force of gravity decreases with altitude. It never increases with altitude.

C. As we gain mass, the force of gravity on us decreases.

This statement is false.

The force of gravity is directly proportional to the product of the masses. So, if increase our mass, then the force of gravity will also increase and if we decrease our mass, then the force of gravity decreases.

D. As we gain mass, the force of gravity on us increases.

This statement is true.

As mentioned earlier in option C., the force of gravity is directly proportional to the product of the masses of the earth and another object. So, as we gain mass, the force of gravity on us increases.

E. As we move faster, the force of gravity on us increases.

This statement is true.

Here, we have to consider a different formula. According to Newton's Second Law,

F = ma, where F is the force, m is the mass and a is the acceleration.

In other words,

F ∝ a, i.e., force is directly proportional to acceleration.

We know, acceleration is the rate of change of velocity of an body within a time period.

So, if speed is increased, then acceleration will also be greater, which results in the increase of force. So, as we move faster, the force of gravity on us increases.

Answers:

A: As we move to higher altitudes, the force of gravity on us decreases.

D: As we gain mass, the force of gravity on us increases.

E: As we move faster, the force of gravity on us increases.

Hope you could understand.

If you have any query, feel free to ask.

The beat your doctor listens to through a sethoscope is the sound of the four values opening

djyliett [7]

and closing .

The heart has 4 valves. They are what makes the lub-dub lub-dub sounds that can be heard from the chest.

The mitral valve is located between the left atrium and the left ventricle. It closes the left atrium to collect oxygenated blood from the lungs and opens to pass it on to the left ventricle.

The tricuspid valve is located between the right atrium and the right ventricle. It closes the right atrium to hold unoxygenated blood and opens to pass it on to the right ventricle ensuring a one way flow.

The aortic valve is located between the aorta and the left ventricle. It closes the left ventricle and opens to the aorta to pass on the oxygen-rich blood to the body.

The pulmonary valve is located between the pulmonary artery and the right ventricle. It closes off the right ventricle and opens to pass on unoxygenated blood to the lungs.
