Give some examples of why it is important to understand how ocean currents flow

Physics

Explanation:

Winds, water density, and tides all drive ocean currents. Coastal and sea floor features influence their location, direction, and speed. Earth's rotation results in the Coriolis Effect which also influences ocean currents

So far, you’ve been working with an "ideal" pulley system. How do you think real pulley systems are different, and how would tha
almond37 [142]

Answer:

In an ideal pulley system is assumed as a perfect system, and the efficiency of the pulley system is taken as 100% such that there are no losses of the energy input to the system through the system's component

However, in a real pulley system, there are several means through which energy is lost from the system through friction, which is converted into heat, sound, as well as other forms of energy

Given that the mechanical advantage = Force output/(Force input), and that the input force is known, the energy loss comes from the output force which is then reduced, and therefore, the Actual Mechanical Advantage (AMA) is less than the Ideal Mechanical Advantage of an "ideal" pulley system

The relationship between the actual and ideal mechanical advantage is given by the efficiency of the pulley system as follows;

Efficiency \, \% = \dfrac{AMA}{IMA}  \times 100

Water is a compound because it is what?Water is a compound because it
seraphim [82]

Water is a compound because it always has two hydrogen atoms for each oxygen atom. Water can be broken down into simpler substances. Water is a compound because pure water is composed of only H₂O molecules. Each molecule of water is a chemical combination of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom.  Water is a type of molecular compound.

\boxed{~The~Answer~is~B.~}

<h3>Further explanation</h3>
  • Compounds are substances composed of two or more different elements chemically combined that can be separated into simpler substances only by chemical reactions.
  • Water, for example, is a compound because pure water is composed of only H₂O molecules. Each molecule of water is a chemical combination of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom.
  • A molecular bond or covalent bond occurs as a result of electrons can be shared between atoms. Molecular compounds have molecular (covalent) bonds.
  • An ionic bond occurs as a result of electrons can be completely removed from one atom and given to another. Ionic compounds have ionic bonds.
  • Examples of other molecular compounds are carbon dioxide (CO₂) and glucose (C₆H₁₂O₆). Each molecule of CO₂ is a chemical combination of two oxygen atoms and one carbon atom. Each molecule of C₆H₁₂O₆ is a chemical combination of six carbon atoms, twelve hydrogen atoms, and six oxygen atoms.
  • Table salt (NaCl) is a compound because it is made from more than one kind of element (Na and Cl), but it is not a molecule because the bond that holds NaCl together is an ionic bond. An electron from the outer shell of sodium is released and taken by chlorine to reach octet conditions on both sides, that is how ionic bonds occur. Thus NaCl is an ionic compound.
  • A diatomic molecule is a molecule made from two atoms of the same type. For example, oxygen gas in the atmosphere is a molecule because it contains molecular bonds. It is not a compound because it is made from atoms of only one element, i.e. oxygen. Another example is hydrogen gas, nitrogen gas, and chlorine gas.
  • Elements are the simplest forms of matter and therefore cannot be broken down into simpler substances by any chemical or physical reactions. Some examples of elements include hydrogen, oxygen, carbon, sodium, iron, and sulfur. Elements can combine with other elements to synthesize compounds.

Why caring a body and moving with it is not a work done<br><br> Why :​
Alecsey [184]

Answer:

Work done on an object is equal to

FDcos(angle).

So, naturally, if you lift a book from the floor on top of the table you do work on it since you are applying a force through a distance.

However, I often see the example of carrying a book through a horizontal distance is not work. The reasoning given is this: The force you apply is in the vertical distance, countering gravity and thus not in the direction of motion.

But surely you must be applying a force (and thus work) in the horizontal direction as the book would stop due to air friction if not for your fingers?

Is applying a force through a distance only work if causes an acceleration? That wouldn't make sense in my mind. If you are dragging a sled through snow, you are still doing work on it, since the force is in the direction of motion. This goes even if velocity is constant due to friction.

expeople1 [14]

A small boy is playing with a ball on a stationary train. If he places the ball on the floor of the train, when the train starts moving the ball moves toward the back of the train. This happened due to inertia

An object at rest remains at rest, or if in motion, remains in motion unless a net external force acts on it .  

When a train starts moving forward, the ball placed on the floor  tends to fall backward is an example of inertia of rest. Due to the reason that the lower part of the ball is in contact with the surface and rest of the part is not . As the train starts moving, its lower part gets the motion as the floor starts moving but the upper part will remain as it is as it is not in contact with the floor , hence do not attain any motion due to the inertia of rest simultaneously i.e. it tends to remain at the same place.
