What property makes ocean water a good conductor of electricity
Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

The salt molecules (Sodium ions and Chlorine ions) in the ocean water makes it a good conductor of electricity.

Explanation:

Conductivity<em> refers to the ability of an object to transmit electricity.</em> Transmitting electricity means allowing electricity to pass through the material. The best conductor of electricity is <u>"silver."</u> Other elements which are also good conductors are: <em>gold, aluminum, copper, etc. </em>Those which are poor in conducting electricity are called insulators. These include <em>glass, plastic, rubber, paper, styrofoam, etc. </em>

<u>Ocean water is considered a good conductor of electricity because it contains Sodium ions and Chlorine ions.</u> Remember that ions carry electrical charges, which could either be positive or negative. <u>The Sodium ion here is positively charged, while the Chlorine ion is negatively charged.</u> Being mixed with water makes it an electrolyte solution. When electricity travels, it needs to have two sources: a positive terminal and a negative terminal. This means that the Sodium ions will be attracted to the electricity's negative terminal, while the Chlorine ions will be attracted to the positive terminal. This will allow the electrons to flow through the medium, thus creating a circuit for electricity to pass through.

This is the reason why ocean water is a good conductor of electricity.

hot-air balloon is ascending at the rate of 14 m/s and is 84 m above the ground when a package is dropped over the side. (a) How
timurjin [86]

Answer:

a) t = 4.14 s

b) Speed with which it hits the ground = 40.58 m/s

Explanation:

Using the equations of motion,

g = 9.8 m/s², y = H = 84 m,

Initial velocity, u = 0 m/s,

final velocity, v = ?

Total Time of fall, t = ?

a) y = ut + gt²/2

84 = 0 + 9.8t²/2

4.9t² = 84

t² = 84/4.9

t = 4.14 s

b) v = u + gt

v = 0 + (9.8 × 4.14)

v = 40.58 m/s

Thermal energy transfers throughout the water in the beaker. Describe and explain how this happens?
ziro4ka [17]
The transfer of heat between the bottom surface of the beaker and water inside it is due to Convection phenomenon. When a fluid, such as air or a liquid, is heated and then travels away from the source, it carries the thermal energy along. ... The fluid above a hot surface expands, becomes less dense, and rises
