Explain the role convection currents plays in creating currents in the ocean​

Physics
1 answer:
Effectus [21]3 years ago
4 0

Ocean currents result from two processes - the action of wind on the surface of the water, and from variation in water temperature that causes movement- a process known as convection. Convection occurs because the oceanic waters heat up becoming less dense.

Identify each picture as either an inelastic collision or elastic collision
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

From what is known about collisions, picture 1 is an inelastic collision while picture 2 is an elastic collision.

<h3>What is elastic collision?</h3>

Elastic collision is a type of collision in which both the momentum and kinetic energy of the bodies are conserved.

  • In elastic collision, the two bodies do not stick together.
<h3>What is inelastic collision?</h3>

Inelastic collision is a type of collision in which only the momentum is conserved but kinetic energy decreases

  • In inelastic collision, the two bodies stick together.

Therefore, picture 1 is an inelastic collision while picture 2 is an elastic collision.

You lay a mirror flat on the floor with one edge against a wall and aim a laser at the mirror. The ray reflects from the mirror
RideAnS [48]

Answer:

  About 32.6°

Explanation:

The tangent of the desired angle is the ratio of distance from the wall to height up the wall:

  tan(angle of incidence) = (22.7 cm)/(35.5 cm) ≈ 0.63944

  angle of incidence = arctan(0.63944) ≈ 32.6°

_____

The angle of incidence is measured from the normal to the mirror.

Why is the escape speed for a spacecraft independent of the spacecraft's mass?
scoray [572]
In order to escape the gravitational pull of our planet, any object must have an escape velocity of 7 km/s  or more, anything lower than that will be slowed down by the pull of gravity, and will eventually returned to the surface of our planet. It is independent of mass, any lighter or heavier object must attain the required escaped velocity to reach space.

What is the frequency of radiation whose wavelength is 2.40 x 10-5 cm?
S_A_V [24]
<span>To begin, the formula for finding frequency when wavelength is known is "f = c / w" when c is the constant velocity (3 * 10^8 m/s). To convert the wavelength into a common form (m/s), it will have to be multiplied by 10^-2. This leaves the equation as "f = 3.0 * 10^8 / (2.4 * 10^-5 * 10^-2), or 2.4 * 10^-7. This gives 1.25 * 10^15 m/s as the frequency.</span>

T/F all of the planets have at least one moon that is larger than Pluto’s
storchak [24]
False. Mercury and Venus are known for having no natural satellites/moons. The absence of moons already prove that not all planets have moons larger than Pluto's Charon.
