Which statement about ocean surface currents is false.

B.) They have no effect on air temperature over land on the coast.

Explanation:

The statement that ocean surface currents do not have any effect on air temperature over land on the coast is very incorrect.

In fact, ocean surface currents shapes the coast a whole lot.

There is a constant interaction between the ocean surface current and the air masses on land.
They interact by simple convection through which heat is transferred from one point to the other.
During the day, air masses moves from the land to the ocean because air around the coast are hotter and less dense.
They are quickly replaced by colder and less denser air from the ocean.
At night the reverse is the case.

Answer:

6666.67 Newtons

Explanation:

The formula F=ma (force is equal to mass multiplied by acceleration) can be used to calculate the answer to this question.

In this case:

mass= 0.1mg= 1*10^-7 kg
velocity= 4.00*10^3 m/s
time= 6.00*10^-8 s

Using velocity and time, acceleration can be calculated as:

a= 6.667*10^10 m/s²

Substituting these values into the formula F=ma, the answer is:

F= (1*10^-7)kg * (6.667*10^10) m/s²
F= 6666.67 Newtons of force

An airplane wing is designed so that the speed of the air across the top of the wing is 255 m/s when the speed of the air below

grin007 [14]

<h2>Answer:442758.96N</h2>

Explanation:

This problem is solved using Bernoulli's equation.

Let $P$ be the pressure at a point.

Let $p$ be the density fluid at a point.

Let $v$ be the velocity of fluid at a point.

Bernoulli's equation states that $P+\frac{1}{2}pv^{2}+pgh=constant$ for all points.

Lets apply the equation of a point just above the wing and to point just below the wing.

Let $p_{up}$ be the pressure of a point just above the wing.

Let $p_{do}$ be the pressure of a point just below the wing.

Since the aeroplane wing is flat,the heights of both the points are same.

$\frac{1}{2}(1.29)(255)^{2}+p_{up}= \frac{1}{2}(1.29)(199)^{2}+p_{do}$

So, $p_{up}-p_{do}=\frac{1}{2}\times 1.29\times (25424)=16398.48Pa$

Force is given by the product of pressure difference and area.

Given that area is $27ms^{2}$ .

So,lifting force is $16398.48\times 27=442758.96N$

A block weighing 10 newtons is resting on a plane inclined 30° to the horizontal. What is the magnitude of the normal force acti

aleksley [76]

Magnitude of normal force acting on the block is 7 N

Explanation:

10N = 1.02kg

Mass of the block = m = 1.02 kg

Angle of incline Θ = 30°

Normal force acting on the block = N

From the free body diagram,

N = mgCos Θ

N = (1.02)(9.81)Cos(30)

N = 8.66 N

Rounding off to nearest whole number,

N = 7 N

Magnitude of normal force acting on the block = 7 N
