Answer:

Correct Answer is B (Differences in temperature)

Explanation:

One of the main cause of ocean current to occur is variation of temperature of different layer of oceanic water.Water which have high temprature is less dense and this Less density water float above the surface of high density water. When this less density water reached on the surface of ocean that time wind which blows on the surface water makes the water cool or in other words we can say that water released  its heat to the surrounding environment. when water becomes cool it again shifted in downward direction and less density water  will moves upward. In this way this process will continue and hence ocean current is created.

A 57-kg woman holds a 6-kg package as she stands within an elevator which briefly accelerates upward at a rate of 0.15g. Determi
Temka [501]

Answer:

R = 710.7N

L = 67.689 N

During gravity fall L = R = 0 N

Explanation:

So the acceleration that the elevator is acting on the woman (and the package) in order to result in a net acceleration of 0.15g is

g + 0.15g = 1.15g

The force R that the elevator exerts on her feet would be product of acceleration and total mass (Newton's 2nd law):

a(m + M) = 1.15g(57 + 6) = 1.15*9.81*63 = 710.7N

The force L that she exerts on the package would be:

am = 1.15g *6 = 1.15*9.81*6 = 67.689N

When the system is falling, all have a net acceleration of g. So the acceleration that the elevator exerts on the woman (and the package) is 0, and so are the forces L and R.

A force acting over a large area will exert less pressure per square inch than the same force acting over a smaller area.
babunello [35]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Pressure is defined as:

p=\frac{F}{A}

where

F is the magnitude of the force perpendicular to the surface

A is the surface

Therefore, pressure is inversely proportional to the area of the surface:

p\propto \frac{1}{A}

this means that, assuming that the forces in the two situations (which have same magnitude) are both applied perpendicular to the surface, the force exerted over the smaller area will exert a greater pressure. Hence, the statement"

<em>"A force acting over a large area will exert less pressure per square inch than the same force acting over a smaller area"</em>

is true.

which fire extinguisher is most appropriate to put out a fire that involves a stack of burning newspapers
evablogger [386]

Monoammonium phosphate effectively smothers the fire, while sodium bicarbonate induces a chemical reaction which extinguishes the fire. Fire extinguishers with a Class C rating are suitable for fires in “live” electrical equipment.
