what do scientific models predict will happen to Earths oceans if current trends continue unmitigated?

Margaret [11]

Answer:

I think that the answer is "Coral bleaching will continue to harm aquatic organisms.

Explanation:

Global warming causes the ocean temperatures to rise and also its pH to decrease due to increased dissolved carbon dioxide in the waters.

Due to the unfavorable temperatures and pH, the algae dissociate from the symbiotic relationship with coral polyps (as a survival mechanism) hence leaving the coral white (coral bleaching).

The symbiotic relationship is key for the survival of the coral polyps hence most die following the dissociation.

This upsets the reef ecosystem and affects all aquatic organisms that depend on the reef.

A 5kg object moving horizontally at 3m/s collides with a stationary 3kg object. After the collision, the 5kg object is deflected

gavmur [86]

Answer:

The velocity of each ball after the collision are 2.19 m/s and 2.58 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of object = 5 kg

Speed = 3 m/s

Mass of stationary object = 3 kg

Moving object deflected = 30°

Stationary object deflected = 31°

We need to calculate the velocity of each ball after collision

Using conservation of momentum

Along x-axis

$m_{1}u_{1}+m_{2}u_{2}=m_{1}v_{1}\cos\theta+m_{2}v_{2}\cos\theta$

Put the value into the fomrula

$5\times3+0=5\times v_{1}\cos30+3\times v_{2}\cos45$

$15=5v_{1}\times\dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{2}+3v_{2}\times\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$

$15=\dfrac{5\sqrt{3}}{2}v_{1}+\dfrac{3}{\sqrt{2}}v_{2}$ ....(I)

Along y -axis

$m_{1}u_{1}+m_{2}u_{2}=m_{1}v_{1}\sin\theta+m_{2}v_{2}\sin\theta$

Put the value into the formula

$0+0=5\times v_{1}\sin30-3\times v_{2}\sin45$

$\dfrac{5}{2}v_{1}-\dfrac{3}{\sqrt{2}}v_{2}=0$ ...(II)

From equation (I) and (II)

$v_{1}=\dfrac{15\times2}{5\sqrt{3}+5}$

$v_{1}=2.19\ m/s$

Put the value of v₁ in equation (I)

$\dfrac{5}{2}\times2.19-\dfrac{3}{\sqrt{2}}v_{2}=0$

$v_{2}=\dfrac{5.475\times\sqrt{2}}{3}$

$v_{2}=2.58\ m/s$

Hence, The velocity of each ball after the collision are 2.19 m/s and 2.58 m/s.

1. A person is lifting a suitcase into the trunk of a car. Assuming the suitcase is already in the air, draw the FBD and write t

Alik [6]

Answer:

Explanation:Assume you are lifting an object with mass 20 kg from the ground to a height of 1.5 m. Assume that you are exerting a constant force in the upward direction and that you are moving the object upward with uniform velocity. The net force on the object is zero. The force you are exerting is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to the force of gravity. As you are lifting the object you are doing work on the object.
