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.

The law of universal gravitation states that a gravitational force exists between all objects in the universe. This force is dir
r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

D. It has been demonstrated to be without exception under certain stated conditions.

Explanation:

A principle is simply a proposition based on some results from some experiments. A principle becomes a law when it gains strength. That is when other scientists support and back it.

A scientific law is a statement that describes a natural phenomenon and is not contradicted by repeated experiments over the time.

Sir Isaac Newton's law of gravitation stated "A gravitational force exists between all objects in the universe. This force is directly proportional to the masses of the two objects and inversely proportional to the distance between them."

His law explained that every body in the universe attracts every other body. It explained that it is not just Earth that pulls us towards it. But even sun and moon has their own gravitational pull and so does all other objects. It is just that the Gravitational pull of some objects is negligible.

Newton's law of Gravitation is considered a universal law because it is applicable to almost all the bodies in the universe and is demonstrated to be correct for them under certain conditions.

Answer:

 F = - k (x-xo) a graph of the weight or applied force against the elongation obtaining a line already proves Hooke's law.

Explanation:

The student wants to prove hooke's law which has the form

          F = - k (x-xo)

To do this we hang the spring in a vertical position and mark the equilibrium position on a tape measure, to simplify the calculations we can make this point zero by placing our reference system in this position.

Now for a series of known masses let's get them one by one and measure the spring elongation, building a table of weight vs elongation,

we must be careful when hanging the weights so as not to create oscillations in the spring

we look for the mass of each weight

         W = mg

          m = W / g

and we write them in a new column, we make a graph of the weight or applied force against the elongation and it should give a straight line; the slope of this line is sought, which is the spring constant.

The fact of obtaining a line already proves Hooke's law.

What percentage of the takeoff velocity did the plane gain when it reached the midpoint of the runway? a plane accelerates from
ElenaW [278]
When is at the end of the runway the velocity of the plane is given by the equation vf^{2}=0+2*a*s    where s=1800 m is the runway length. Thus
vf^{2}=2*5*1800=18000 (m/s)^{2}      
vf =134.164 (m/s)  

At half runway the velocity of the plane is
v^{2}=2*5* \frac{1800}{2}=9000 ( \frac{m}{s} )^{2}&#10; 
v= \sqrt{9000}=94.87 ( \frac{m}{s})

Therefore at midpoint of runway the percentage of takeoff velocity is
‰P= \frac{v}{vf}=  \frac{94.87}{134.164}=0.707
