Answer:

temperature, salinity

Explanation:

In oceanography, pycnocline is the layer of the water column where a rapid change in vertical density gradient occurs. This increase in density with increasing depth is generally more intense in low latitude regions, as at high latitudes the density has little variation with depth. The term pycnocline is analogous to the terms halocline (intense vertical salinity gradient) and thermocline (intense vertical temperature gradient). Generally the three features occur at the same depths, typically between 300 and 1000 m below the ocean surface. Pycnocline is the result of the combination of thermocline and halocline, as temperature and salinity influence the density of seawater. The relationship between these three factors (temperature, salinity and density) conditions the distribution of water bodies in the ocean.

Radda [10]

Answer:

a) $F = 6816.5680 N$

b) $F' = 0 N$

c) $F''=28195.5N$

Explanation:

Magnitude of charges $M=1.6\muC$

Distance $d=2.6$

Generally the equation for Net Force is mathematically given by

For First Drawing

$F =\frac{ k q^2}{d^2}+\frac{k q^2}{d^2}$

$F =\frac{2* 9*10^9* (1.6*10^-6)^2}{ (2.6*10^-3^2}$

$F = 6816.5680 N$

For second Drawing

$F' =\frac{ k q^2}{d^2 }-\frac{ k q^2}{ d^2}$

$F' = 0 N$

For Third Drawing

$F'' =\frac{ k q^2}{d^2} * \sqrt (2)$

$F'' = 9*10^9* (6.4*10^-6)^2 * \frac{\sqrt(2)}{(4.3*10^-3)^2}$

$F''=28195.5N$

kotykmax [81]

Explanation:

Crumple zones are sections in cars that are designed to crumple up when the car encounters a collision. Crumple zones minimize the effect of the force in an automobile collision in two ways. By crumpling, the car is less likely to rebound upon impact, thus minimizing the momentum change and the impulse.

Digiron [165]

Part A : 4.33 Volt.

Part B : 4764 Amperes.

Given Data :

Field near a typical pulsed-field machine rises from 0 T to 2.5 T in 200 μs.

Axis of his 2.1-cm-diameter wedding band is parallel to the field.

Part A :

induced emf = rate of change of magnetic flux

= d (B A )/dt

= A dB/dt

= { π (2.1 x 10^-2 / 2)^2) (2.5) } / (200 x 10^-6)

E = 4.33 Volt

Part B :

R = rho L / A

R = { (6.2 x 10^-8) ( π x 0.021) } / (4.5 x 10^-6)

R = 9.10 x 10^-4 Ohm

We know, (I = V/ R)

I = 4.33 Volts / 9.10 x 10^-4 Ohm

I = 4764 Amperes

What exactly is the function of TMS?

Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a noninvasive procedure that uses magnetic fields to stimulate nerve cells in the brain to alleviate depression symptoms. TMS is usually used when other depression treatments have failed.
