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 magnetic field is directed perpendicular to the plane of a 0.15-m × 0.30-m rectangular coil consisting of 240 loops of wire. T
ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

7.344 s

Explanation:

A = 0.15 x 0.3 m^2 = 0.045 m^2

N = 240

e = - 2.5 v

B1 = 0.1 T

B2 = 1.8 T

ΔB = B2 - B1 = 1.8 - 0.1 = 1.7 T

Δt = ?

e = - dФ/dt

e = - N x A x ΔB/Δt

- 2.5 = - 240 x 0.045 x 1.7 / Δt

2.5 = 18.36 / Δt

Δt = 7.344 s

IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

176,000 N

Explanation:

Newton's second law:

∑F = ma

F = (4 × 40,000 kg) (1.1 m/s²)

F = 176,000 N

If a 80kg diver jumps off of a 5 m high dive into a regulation diving pool, how much should the temperature of the pool go up?
Agata [3.3K]

Answer:

The answer cannot be determined.

Explanation:

The energy of the diver when he hits the pool will be equal to its potential energy mgh, and for the temperature of the pool to rise up, this energy has to be converted into the heat energy of the pool.

The change in temperature {\Delta}T then will be

{\Delta}T=\frac{{\Delta}Q}{mc} .

Where m is the mass of water in the pool, c is the specific heat capacity of water, and {\Delta}Q is the added heat which in this case is the energy of the diver.

Since we do not know the mass of the water in the pool, we cannot make this calculation.
