Winds are the main cause of ___ currents in the ocean

A pressure that will support a column of Hg to a height of 256 mm would support a column of water to what height? The density of

Paul [167]

Answer:

The height of water in the column = 348.14 cm

Explanation:

Pressure:This is defined as the ratio of the force acting normally ( perpendicular) to the area of surface in contact. The S.I unit of pressure is N/m²

p = Dgh............... Equation 1

Where p = pressure, D = density, g = acceleration due to gravity, h = height.

From the question, the same pressure will support the column of mercury and water.

p₁ = p₂

Where p₁ = pressure of mercury, p₂ = pressure of water

D₁gh₁ = D₂gh₂.................. Equation 2

making h₂ the subject of equation 2

h₂ = D₁gh/D₂g............... Equation 3

Where D₁ and D₂ = Density of mercury and water respectively, h₁ and h₂ = height of mercury and water respectively

Given: D₁ = 13.6 g/cm³, D₂ = 1.00 g/cm³, h₁ = 256 mm = 25.6 cm.

Constant: g = 9.8 m/s²

Substituting these values into Equation 3,

h₂ = (13.6×9.8×25.6)/1×9.8

h₂ = 348.14 cm

The height of water in the column = 348.14 cm

What is the difference between scientific law and scientific theory

Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

In general, a scientific law is the description of an observed phenomenon. It doesn't explain why the phenomenon exists or what causes it. The explanation of a phenomenon is called a scientific theory.

Why is pluto not a planet?

mihalych1998 [28]

Pluto revolves around a star instead of our SUN. So, it's an "Exo-planet" rather than a Planet. It has declared in 2006 by the scientists.

Hope this helps!

In complete sentences describe the energy flow between the Sun, the Earth, and space

agasfer [191]

Answer: The energy from the sun passes through space in the form of invisible waves to the earth surface. It heats up the earth’s surface causing variation in climate.
Explanation:
The amount of incoming energy from the Sun decides the weather and climate of earth. If the energy that is incoming and outgoing on the earth, then climate is in equilibrium. The balance is depending on the scattering, absorption, reflection and transformation of energy.
The energy from sun passes through space and reaches the earth’s surface. On reaching surface, the solar energy warms the atmosphere releasing heat energy which gets transferred throughout the planets system by radiation, conduction and convection. Conduction happens in the atmosphere within first several millimeters close to the surface. This heated air expands as it is dense and rises causing transfer of heat to atmosphere through convection process. It results in formation of clouds.
The radiant energy from sun is transmitted via space in form of invisible waves. But much of the suns radiant energy, is transmitted back to atmosphere. The objects on earth like land, plants, animals absorb radiant energy as heat of which one third gets re-radiated back to atmosphere that is absorbed by carbon dioxide and water vapor. The atmosphere radiates heat energy back to earth increasing the earth temperature. This trapping of radiation is greenhouse effect.
The thermal energy obtained by convection currents are responsible for wind, cloud formation, and weather formation. The hydrosphere that comprises of 70% of earth’s surface absorbs solar energy.
On the basis of the above explanation is:
The energy from the sun passes through space in the form of invisible waves to the earth surface. It heats up the earth’s surface causing variation in climate.

A circular bird feeder 19.0 cm in radius has rotational inertia 0.130 kg·m2. It's suspended by a thin wire and is spinning slowl

soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

N₂=20.05 rpm

Explanation:

Given that

R= 19 cm

I=0.13 kg.m²

N₁ = 24.2 rpm

$\omega_1=\dfrac{2\pi \times 24.2}{60}\ rda/s$

ω₁= 2.5 rad/s

m= 173 g = 0.173 kg

v=1.2 m

Initial angular momentum L₁

L₁ = Iω₁ - m v r ( negative sign because bird coming opposite to motion of the wire motion)

Final linear momentum L₂

L₂= I₂ ω₂

I₂ = I + m r²

The is no any external torque that is why angular momentum will be conserve

L₁ = L₂

Iω₁ - m v r = I₂ ω₂

Iω₁ - m v r = ( I + m r²) ω₂

Now by putting the all values

Iω₁ - m v r = ( I + m r²) ω₂

0.13 x 2.5 - 0.173 x 1.2 x 0.19 = ( 0.13 + 0.173 x 0.19²) ω₂

0.325 - 0.0394 = 0.136 ω₂

ω₂ = 2.1 rad/s

$\omega_2=\dfrac{2\pi \times N_2}{60}$

N₂=20.05 rpm
