How do surface currents affect climate

1 answer:

8 0

Ocean currents act much like a conveyer belt, transporting warm water and precipitation from the equator toward the poles and cold water from the poles back to the tropics. Therefore, currents regulate global climate, helping to counteract the uneven distribution of solar radiation reaching Earth's surface.

Cellular phones use _____?

dangina [55]

Let's see: frequency of cellular phone waves (GSM phones) is (800-1900 MHz). If we look at the table of the electromagnetic spectrum, we can see that this range is contained within the frequencies of the microwaves, which include waves in the range 300 MHz-300 GHz.

So, summarizing, the correct answer is "microwaves".

If the v – t graph of a particle is parallel to the t – axis the body has (a) uniform velocity (b) uniform acceleration (c) zero

maxonik [38]

Answer:

zero velocity

Explanation:

if the v-t graph is parallel to the time axis its mean body has covered no path in other words the body is at rest so the velocity of the body should be zero

A jet is travelling at a speed of 1200 km/h and drops cargo from a height of 2.5 km above the ground Calculate the time it takes

OLEGan [10]

a) Time of flight: 22.6 s

To calculate the time it takes for the cargo to reach the ground, we just consider the vertical motion of the cargo.

The vertical position at time t is given by

$y(t) = h +u_y t - \frac{1}{2}gt^2$

where

h = 2.5 km = 2500 m is the initial height

$u_y = 0$ is the initial vertical velocity of the cargo

g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

The cargo reaches the ground when

$y(t) = 0$

So substituting it into the equation and solving for t, we find the time of flight of the cargo:

$0 = h - \frac{1}{2}gt^2\\t=\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(2500)}{9.8}}=22.6 s$

b) 7.5 km

The range travelled by the cargo can be calculated by considering its horizontal motion only. In fact, the horizontal motion is a uniform motion, with constant velocity equal to the initial velocity of the jet:

$v_x = 1200 km/h \cdot \frac{1000 m/km}{3600 s/h}=333.3 m/s$

So the horizontal distance travelled is

$d=v_x t$

And if we substitute the time of flight,

t = 22.6 s

We find the range of the cargo:

$d=(333.3)(22.6)=7533 m = 7.5 km$

how much work does tension do on the laptop as it moves 2.0 mm ? express your answer with the appropriate units.

8090 [49]

The work done by tension force of 14N applied on the laptop by a rope as it moves 2.0 mm up the slope is 0.028 J

W = F d cos θ

W = Work done

F = Force

d = Displacement

θ = Angle between force and displacement vector

F = 14 N

d = 2 mm = 0.002 m

θ = 0

W = 14 * 0.002 * 1

W = 0.028 J

Work done is the change in energy of an object. So if an object moves a certain distance, work is done on the object. If the force and displacement are perpendicular to each other there is no work done on the object.

Therefore, the work done by tension on the laptop is 0.028 J

A machine can never be 100% efficient because some work is always lost due to what?

katrin [286]

A machine can never be 100% efficient because some work is always lost due to the lack of materials or equipment that would convert work by 100%. It follows the second law of entropy. The ideal engine is known as Carnot’s engine having a 100% efficiency. So far, no engine has ever gotten to 100%.
