WHY THEY ARE DEEP>>>>

according to: amnh.com

the oceans are deep because it states that  "The ocean is very, very deep; light can only penetrate so far below the surface of the ocean. As the light energy travels through the water, the molecules in the water scatter and absorb it. At great depths, light is so scattered that there is nothing left to detect."

WHY THEY ARE COLD>>>

according to: ocean service.com

oceans are cold because it states that  "Cold water has a higher density than warm water. Water gets colder with depth because cold, salty ocean water sinks to the bottom of the ocean basins below the less dense warmer water near the surface"

WHY THEY ARE DARK>>>

according to amnh.com

Oceans are dark because it states that "The ocean is very, very deep; light can only penetrate so far below the surface of the ocean. As the light energy travels through the water, the molecules in the water scatter and absorb it."

What is the role of gravity when it comes to changing the velocity of objects?
Alex787 [66]

Gravity is the attraction of every body to every other body due to the masses of each body. The larger the mass, the greater the force. It also depends on the distances: the closer the bodies, the greater the force. Gravity is directed toward the center of a body, and the distance is measured from the center.

When objects fall to the ground, gravity causes them to accelerate. Acceleration is a change in velocity, and velocity, in turn, is a measure of the speed and direction of motion. Gravity causes an object to fall toward the ground at a faster and faster velocity the longer the object falls.

A proton moving at 3.0 × 10^4 m/s is projected at an angle of 30° above a horizontal plane. If an electric field of 400 N/C is a
GuDViN [60]

Answer:

The time it takes the proton to return to the horizontal plane is 7.83 X10⁻⁷ s

Explanation:

From Newton's second law, F = mg and also from coulomb's law F= Eq

Dividing both equations by mass;

F/m = Eq/m = mg/m, then

g = Eq/m --------equation 1

Again, in a projectile motion, the time of flight (T) is given as

T = (2usinθ/g) ---------equation 2

Substitute in the value of g into equation 2

T = \frac{2usin \theta}{\frac{Eq}{m}} =\frac{m* 2usin \theta}{Eq}

Charge of proton = 1.6 X 10⁻¹⁹ C

Mass of proton = 1.67 X 10⁻²⁷ kg

E is given as 400 N/C, u = 3.0 × 10⁴ m/s and θ = 30°

Solving for T;

T = \frac{(1.67X10^{-27}* 2*3X10^4sin 30}{400*1.6X10^{-19}}

T = 7.83 X10⁻⁷ s

object P1 and P2 are in a straight line with the normal to a plane mirror.If P1 and P2 are 18m and 21m away from the mirror. Cal
VARVARA [1.3K]

The distance between object P1 and its image formed is determined as 36 m.

<h3>Distance of the image</h3>

The distance of the image formed by object P1 is calculated as follows;

In a plane mirror; object distance = image distance

image distance of P1 = 18 m

distance between object and image = 18m + 18 m = 36 m

Thus, the distance between object P1 and its image formed is determined as 36 m.

How many seconds will it take to travel 3,600 meters if your speed is 90 meters per second?
klio [65]
40

Because if you divide 3,600 by 90 it is equivalent to 40.

Hope this helps, have a blessed day :)

Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

Explanation:

Wgen the sound is emitting from two speakers, the sound waves interfere each other. the locations at which the destructive interference occurs, we get no sound and the locations where constructive interference occurs, the sound occurs at that locations.
