Where does salt in the ocean come from

Bingel [31]

Answer:

Salt in the ocean comes from two sources: runoff from the land and openings in the seafloor. Rocks on land are the major source of salts dissolved in seawater. Rainwater that falls on land is slightly acidic, so it erodes rocks.

If the pendulum took longer to complete one oscillation, how would the graph change?

pickupchik [31]

We don't know what kind of graph it is.

For example, it might be a graph of the pendulum's distance from center,

angle from center, speed, acceleration, total distance swung since it was

started, mass, weight, temperature, etc.

If the graph shows the pendulum's distance from center, angle from center,

speed, or acceleration, then the graph will look like a wave, with the period

of the wave being the period of the pendulum's oscillation. If the pendulum

took longer to complete one oscillation, that means its PERIOD increased,

and the distance between the peaks of the graph would be longer.

If it was a graph of total distance the pendulum swung since it was started,

the graph wouldn't look like a wave, just a steadily rising wiggle line. If the

pendulum took longer to complete one oscillation, the wiggles in the line

would be farther apart, and the average slope of any large section of the

line would be less.

If it was a graph of the pendulum's mass, weight, temperature, cost, etc.,

then the graph would be a horizontal line, and nothing that might change

the period of oscillation would have any effect on the graph.

2.Cars were previously manufactured to be as sturdy as possible, whereas today's cars

Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

Crumple zones are designed to absorb and redistribute the force of a collision. ... Also known as a crush zone, crumple zones are areas of a vehicle that are designed to deform and crumple in a collision. This absorbs some of the energy of the impact, preventing it from being transmitted to the occupants.

Sphere A with mass 80 kg is located at the origin of an xy coordinate system; sphere B with mass 60 kg is located at coordinates

IRINA_888 [86]

Answer:

Fc = [ - 4.45 * 10^-8 j ] N

Explanation:

Given:-

- The masses and the position coordinates from ( 0 , 0 ) are:

Sphere A : ma = 80 kg , ( 0 , 0 )

Sphere B : ma = 60 kg , ( 0.25 , 0 )

Sphere C : ma = 0.2 kg , ra = 0.2 m , rb = 0.15

- The gravitational constant G = 6.674×10−11 m3⋅kg−1⋅s−2

Find:-

what is the gravitational force on C due to A and B?

Solution:-

- The gravitational force between spheres is given by:

F = G*m1*m2 / r^2

Where, r : The distance between two bodies (sphere).

- The vector (rac and rbc) denote the position of sphere C from spheres A and B:-

Determine the angle (α) between vectors rac and rab using cosine rule:

$cos ( \alpha ) = \frac{rab^2 + rac^2 - rbc^2}{2*rab*rac} \\\\cos ( \alpha ) = \frac{0.25^2 + 0.2^2 - 0.15^2}{2*0.25*0.2}\\\\cos ( \alpha ) = 0.8\\\\\alpha = 36.87^{\circ \:}$

Determine the angle (β) between vectors rbc and rab using cosine rule:

$cos ( \beta ) = \frac{rab^2 + rbc^2 - rac^2}{2*rab*rbc} \\\\cos ( \beta ) = \frac{0.25^2 + 0.15^2 - 0.2^2}{2*0.25*0.15}\\\\cos ( \beta ) = 0.6\\\\\beta = 53.13^{\circ \:}$

- Now determine the scalar gravitational forces due to sphere A and B on C:

Between sphere A and C:

Fac = G*ma*mc / rac^2

Fac = (6.674×10−11)*80*0.2 / 0.2^2

Fac = 2.67*10^-8 N

vector Fac = Fac* [ - cos (α) i + - sin (α) j ]

vector Fac = 2.67*10^-8* [ - cos (36.87°) i + -sin (36.87°) j ]

vector Fac = [ - 2.136 i - 1.602 j ]*10^-8 N

Between sphere B and C:

Fbc = G*mb*mc / rbc^2

Fbc = (6.674×10−11)*60*0.2 / 0.15^2

Fbc = 3.56*10^-8 N

vector Fbc = Fbc* [ cos (β) i - sin (β) j ]

vector Fbc = 3.56*10^-8* [ cos (53.13°) i - sin (53.13°) j ]

vector Fbc = [ 2.136 i - 2.848 j ]*10^-8 N

- The Net gravitational force can now be determined from vector additon of Fac and Fbc:

Fc = vector Fac + vector Fbc

Fc = [ - 2.136 i - 1.602 j ]*10^-8 + [ 2.136 i - 2.848 j ]*10^-8

Fc = [ - 4.45 * 10^-8 j ] N
