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.

<em>Hope this helps!!!! :)</em>

<span>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.</span>

A 1022kg Caprice car stopped at an intersection is rear-ended by a 1620kg ranger truck moving with a speed of 14.5m/s. If the ca

Alika [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

mass of car, m = 1022 kg

mass of truck, M = 1620 kg

initial velocity of truck, U = 14.5 m/s

initial velocity of car, u = 0 m/s

Let the final velocity of car is v and the final velocity of truck is V.

Collision is elastic, so the coefficient of restitution, e = 1

Use conservation of momentum

initial momentum of car + initial momentum of truck = final momentum of car + final momentum of truck

m x u + M x U = m x v + M x V

0 + 1620 x 14.5 = 1022 v + 1620 V

23490 = 1022 v + 1620 V ..... (1)

Use the formula of coefficient of restitution

$e = \frac{V_{1}-V_{2}}{u_{2}-u_{1}}$

1 (14.5 - 0) = v - V

14.5 = v - V

V = v - 14.5 .... (2)

Put in equation (1)

23490 = 1022 v + 1620 (v - 14.5)

23490 = 1022 v + 1620 v - 23490

46980 = 2642 v

v = 17.8 m/s

Put in equation (2)

V = 17.8 - 14.5

V = 3.3 m/s

Thus, the speed of car is 17.8 m/s and the velocity of truck is 3.3 m/s after collision.

If it takes 200 joules of energy to lift a bucket of water 3 meters in 2 seconds, how much power would be required to do the sam

Harlamova29_29 [7]

200 joules of work energy are involved. That's all we need to know to answer the question. Once we know that 200 joules of work energy are involved, we don't care what was lifted, or how far, or how long it took, or how many people worked on it, or how much they were paid, or what was the distribution of their gender identities, or the ethnic diversity among the team. or what day each of them celebrates as their sabbath. Any other information besides the 200 joules is only there to distract us, and see whether we're paying attention.

Power = (work or energy) / (time to do the work or move the energy)

Power = (200 joules) / (5 seconds)

<em>Power = 40 watts</em>
