Answer:

<h2>Cold, Salty water.</h2>

Explanation:

The cold, salty ocean water is denser than the warmer water. Because of higher density, cold water sinks into the bottom of the ocean while warm water remains at the surface.

The sinking of the cold water at depth moving away from the surface generates deepwater currents by a process called upwelling. These deepwater currents bring the nutrient-rich water at the surface providing food and nutrients to marine life.

The velocity of sound in air saturated with water vapour at 30°C

Luba_88 [7]

Explanation:

The velocity of sound depends on the density of the medium. So we need to find the density of air at each set of conditions. The density of air is:

ρ = (Pd / (Rd T)) + (Pv / (Rv T))

where Pd and Pv are the partial pressures of dry air and water vapor,

Rd and Rv are the specific gas constants of dry air and water vapor,

and T is the absolute temperature.

At the first condition:

Pv = 31.7 mmHg = 4226.3 Pa

Pd = 650 mmHg - 31.7 mmHg = 618.3 mmHg = 82433 Pa

Rv = 461.52 J/kg/K

Rd = 287.00 J/kg/K

T = 30°C = 303.15°C

ρ = (82433 / 287.00 / 303.15) + (4226.3 / 461.52 / 303.15)

ρ = 0.94746 + 0.03021

ρ = 0.97767 kg/m³

At the second condition:

Pv = 0 Pa

Pd = 650 mmHg = 86660 Pa

Rv = 461.52 J/kg/K

Rd = 287.00 J/kg/K

T = 0°C = 273.15°C

ρ = (86660 / 287.00 / 273.15) + (0 / 461.52 / 273.15)

ρ = 1.1054 + 0

ρ = 1.1054 kg/m³

The square of the velocity of sound is proportional to the ratio between pressure and density:

v² = k P / ρ

Since the atmospheric pressure is constant, we can say it's proportional to just the density:

v² = k / ρ

Using the first condition to find the coefficient:

(340)² = k / 0.97767

k = 113018.652

Now finding the velocity of sound at the second condition:

v² = 113018.652 / 1.1054

v = 319.75

Two men pull on a 31-kg box with forces 8.3 N and 6.6 N in opposite directions.

kykrilka [37]

The resultant acceleration of the box is 0.055 m/s² in the direction of the greater force.

The given parameters:

Mass of the box, m = 31 kg
Two applied forces, = 8.3 N and 6.6 N

<h3>Resultant force on the box</h3>

The resultant force on the box is calculated as follows;

$F_{net} = F_1 - F_2\\\\F_{net} = 8.3 \ N - \ 6.6 \ N\\\\F_{net} = 1.7 \ N$

<h3>Resultant acceleration of the box</h3>

The resultant acceleration of the box is calculated as follows;

$F = ma\\\\a = \frac{F}{m} \\\\a = \frac{1.7}{31} \\\\a = 0.055 \ m/s^2$

Thus, the resultant acceleration of the box is 0.055 m/s² in the direction of the greater force.

Erica throws a tennis ball against a wall, and it bounces back. Which force is responsible for sending the ball back to Erica? t

Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

the normal force that the wall exerts on the ball

Explanation:

As Newton's third law states:

"when an object A exerts a force on object B, then object B exerts an equal and opposite force on object A".

If we apply this law to this problem, we can identify the ball as object A, and the wall as object B. As the ball hits the wall, the ball exerts a force on the wall (toward the direction of motion of the ball), so the wall exerts an equal and opposite force on the ball (in the opposite direction). This force is the normal force of the wall, and it is responsible for pushing the ball back towards Erica.

A 150 g egg is dropped from 3.0 meters. The egg is

Lynna [10]

Answer:

9.2 N, with significant figure rounding (2 s.f.)

Explanation:

This problem can be solved using momentum. The following equation relates momentum (mass & velocity) with force and time:

Note that where v is the final velocity and v₀ is the initial velocity. Δv just means change in velocity.

Mass of the egg is 150 g, but we need to convert to kilograms if we want to use Newtons as a unit. 150 g is equal to 0.15 kg. since 1000 g = 1kg.

m = 0.15 kg

The dropped from 3.0 meters is irrelevant as the question tells us the initial velocity of the egg: 4.4 m/s before it hits the ground.

v₀ = 4.4 m/s [down]

When it comes to a stop, the egg will have a velocity of 0.

v = 0 m/s

The time it takes for the egg to stop is 0.072 seconds.

Δt = 0.072 s

Therefore, if down is positive, then

We round to two significant figures since every quantity has two sig. figs.

We only care about the magnitude, not direction. The answer is 9.2 N.
