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.

Birdman is flying horizontally at a

den301095 [7]

Answer:

68 m

Explanation:

Given that the horizontal velocity of the birdman = 17 m/s and

the height, h= 78 m.

The gravitational force is acting in the downward direction, so it will not change the horizontal speed.

The horizontal speed will remains be constant and will be equal to the initial horizontal speed of the turd.

Initially, the turd was also flying horizontally with the birdman, so the initial velocity of the turd is the same as the horizontal velocity of the birdman, i.e In the horizontal direction, $u_0=17$ m/s.

In the vertical direction, u = 0,

The distance to be traveled, in the direction of application of force, is equals to the height of the turd, i.e

s= 78 m

Let t be the time taken to cover a distance of 78 m.

Now, applying the equation of motion in the vertical direction,

$s=ut+\frac 12 at^2$

where u is the initial velocity and a is the acceleration due to gravity in the direction of displacement,s.

Here, $a=g=9.81 m/s^2$ , so

$78=0\times t +\frac 12 (9.81)t^2$

$\Rightarrow t^2=(78\times2)/9.81$

$\Rightarrow t = 4$ seconds.

Hence, the time taken to reach the ground is 4 seconds.

As the horizontal speed, $u_0=17$ m/s, is constant throughout the journey, so

the horizontal distance covered by turd

$= u\times t$

$= 17 \times 4 = 68$ m.

So, the distance of landing from the start of the field is 68 m as the birdman releases a turd directly above the start of the field.

Hence, the robot must hold the bucket at a distance of 68 m from the start of the field.

Answer:

C Quincy

Explanation:

Both Frieda and Vladimir are too young to be making their own decisions. Lucinda has limited freedom due to having two children, while Quincy is just now becoming an adult and has his whole life still ahead of him. Therefore, Quincy has the most freedom to make their own lifestyle decisions.

A train pulls away from a station with a constant acceleration of 0.42 m/s2. A passenger arrives at a point next to the track 6.

Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

2.69 m/s

Explanation:

Hi!

First lets find the position of the train as a function of time as seen by the passenger when he arrives to the train station. For this state, the train is at a position x0 given by:

x0 = (1/2)(0.42m/s^2)*(6.4s)^2 = 8.6016 m

So, the position as a function of time is:

xT(t)=(1/2)(0.42m/s^2)t^2 + x0 = (1/2)(0.42m/s^2)t^2 + 8.6016 m

Now, if the passanger is moving at a constant velocity of V, his position as a fucntion of time is given by:

xP(t)=V*t

In order for the passenger to catch the train

xP(t)=xT(t)

(1/2)(0.42m/s^2)t^2 + 8.6016 m = V*t

To solve this equation for t we make use of the quadratic formula, which has real solutions whenever its determinat is grater than zero:

0≤ b^2-4*a*c = V^2 - 4 * ((1/2)(0.42m/s^2)) * 8.6016 m =V^2 - 7.22534(m/s)^2

This equation give us the minimum velocity the passenger must have in order to catch the train:

V^2 - 7.22534(m/s)^2 = 0
