Answer:

Option (C)

Explanation:

The water at the top portion of the ocean is comparatively hotter than the lower portion. It is because of the absorption of sunlight as the sunlight is directly incident on its surface. This absorbed incoming heat energy increases the temperature of the water, as a result of which it becomes less denser than the bottom cold water. It is also because of this reason, the heat energy is transferred from the hydrosphere region to the atmosphere due to the continuous interaction between the ocean and the atmosphere.

Thus, the top layer of ocean is warmest because of the high absorption of heat, where the surface warmer water are less denser than the cold bottom water.

Hence, the correct answer is option (C).

Answer:

Because the top layer is where all the sun hits and it causes the top of the ocean to be warmer because the water absorbs the light

A 2550 gram box is pushed across the floor with a net force of 18 .0 N.

Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

The acceleration of the box across the floor is 7.0588 $m/s^2$

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of the box = 2550 gram

net force acting on the box = 18 .0 N.

To Find:

The acceleration of the box across the floor = ?

Solution:

Newton's 2nd Law of Motion states that the acceleration of an object as produced by a net force is "directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force, in the same direction as the net force, and inversely proportional to the mass of the object. "

Newton's Second Law formula is

F = m a

Where:

F = the magnitude of the net force, in N

m = the mass of the object, in Kilogram

a = the acceleration of the object, in $m/s^2$

Now substituting the values, we get

18.0 = a (2.55) [since 2550 gram = 2.55 kg]

$a = \frac{18.0}{2.55}$

a = 7.0588 $m/s^2$

What current will an ammeter register if 960C of charge flow through it in 2 minutes?

postnew [5]

Answer:

Explanation:

I= Q/t, where

I= current (A)

Q= charge (C)

t= time (s)

First convert the time from minutes to seconds.

1 minute= 60 seconds

2 minutes= 2×60= 120 seconds

Using the formula,

I= 960÷120

I= 8A

Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

The new minerals created after chemical weathering

Explanation:

The new minerals created after chemical weathering because sediments are natural minerals which are produced as a result of chemical weathering of rocks which are transported by wind, ice, water through the forced of gravity. Sediments can consist of rock and minerals or remains of plants and animals that are deposited to a new place after weathering or erosion.
