Which explains upwelling in the oceans?

Physics
1 answer:
Leokris [45]3 years ago
7 0

Winds blowing across the ocean surface push water away. Water then rises up from beneath the surface to replace the water that was pushed away. This process is known as “upwelling.”

Upwelling occurs in the open ocean and along coastlines. The reverse process, called “downwelling,” also occurs when wind causes surface water to build up along a coastline and the surface water eventually sinks toward the bottom.

Water that rises to the surface as a result of upwelling is typically colder and is rich in nutrients. These nutrients “fertilize” surface waters, meaning that these surface waters often have high biological productivity.  Therefore, good fishing grounds typically are found where upwelling is common.

3. What exerts a greater force on the table of 2 kg book lying flat or a 2 kg book on its
Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

A book on its side exerts a greater force.

Explanation:

Pressure = Force / Area

Assuming that 1kg = 10N

2kg = 20N

Area of book lying flat = 0.3m × 0.2m

                                     = 0.6m²

Pressure of book lying flat = 20N / 0.6m²

                                            = 30Pa (1 s.f.)

Area of book on its side = 0.2m × 0.05m

                                        = 0.01m²

Pressure of book on its side = 20N / 0.01m²

                                               = 2000Pa (1 s.f.)

Since 2000Pa (1 s.f.) > 30Pa (1 s.f.), a book on its side applies greater pressure than lying flat.

Elements from opposite sides of the periodic table tend to form ________.
Ivenika [448]
Ionic compounds is your answer. What happens is one atom donates electron(s) to the other atom, making one positive and the other negative. The opposite atoms attract, forming an ionic bond. 

Hope this helps! :)

- How much force is needed to accelerate a 26 kg skier at 4 m/sec??
kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:

<h2>104 N</h2>

Explanation:

The force acting on an object given it's mass and acceleration can be found by using the formula

force = mass × acceleration

From the question we have

force = 26 × 4

We have the final answer as

<h3>104 N</h3>

A 782.10 kg car is brought from 7.60 m/s to 3.61 m/s over a time period of 4.23 seconds. What is the average force the car exper
alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

–735.17 N

The negative sign indicate that the force is acting in opposition direction to the car.

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Mass (m) of car = 782.10 kg

Initial velocity (u) = 7.60 m/s

Final velocity (v) = 3.61 m/s

Time (t) = 4.23 s

Force (F) =?

Next, we shall determine the acceleration of the car. This can be obtained as follow:

Initial velocity (u) = 7.60 m/s

Final velocity (v) = 3.61 m/s

Time (t) = 4.23 s

Acceleration (a) =?

a = (v – u) / t

a = (3.61 – 7.60) / 4.23

a = –3.99 / 4.23

a = –0.94 m/s²

Finally, we shall determine the force experienced by the car as shown below:

Mass (m) of car = 782.10 kg

Acceleration (a) = –0.94 m/s²

Force (F) =?

F = ma

F = 782.10 × –0.94

F = –735.17 N

The negative sign indicate that the force is acting in opposition direction to the car.

Create a story of a “day in the life of a water drop”. Your story should be creative and include all 6 steps in the water cycle.
pogonyaev

Answer:

Explanation:

Ok so first: the evaporation part, the sun starts to get warmer I ( the water droplet) rises up to the sky to start my evaporation cycle

Condensation: part: when I am in the air I change into a gas and then I change back into a liquid and gather my friends and make a cloud

Precipitation: as it gets to crowded, we can’t hold it anymore, when I cool down I like to sky dive with my cousins, snow, rain, sleet, hail which is called precipitation.

Then finally we land on the ground, we run down hills, and run into lakes surface runoff happens when there’s too many of us so some of us can’t be rain. Infiltration: when some of us soak into the ground cause we can’t make it into the streams and oceans. Ok I can’t help much more cause I’m super busy but if you need more help just message me and I can help thx ! Hope I helped Atleast a bit for you to understand more
