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.

As you finish listening to your favorite compact disc (CD), the CD in the player slows down to a stop. Assume that the CD spins
Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

A. w=8.3rev/s

a_v=3.21rev/s^2

B. rev=10.79rev

Explanation:

A.

500rpm

500rpm*\frac{1minute}{60seg}=8.33\frac{rev}{s}

the time is about 2.60s knowing the acceleration is:

a_v=\frac{w}{t}

so:

w=8.3rev/s

a_v=\frac{8.33 rev/s}{2.60s}=3.21rev/s^2

B.

The CD stop so the final velocity is vf=0 so:

Total revolutions:

8.3rev/s*2.60s=21.58rev

21.58rev/2=10.79 rev

slava [35]
Sum the vector components: Dx = 225* Cos(180)+ 78*Cos(225)= -280.154 km Dy = 225* Sin(180)+ 78*Sin(225) = -55.154 km displacement: Sqrt(Dx^2+Dy^2) = 285.532 km Arctan(Dy/Dx) = 191.137degrees CCW OR: 11.137 degrees South of West

A force is applied to an object at rest with a mass of 100 kg. The same force is applied to an object at rest with a mass of 1 k
Darya [45]
The object with a mass of 100 kg would move slower than the object with a mass of 1 kg. This is because a greater force is required to move the object with a mass of 100 kg compared to the object of 1 kg.
