The answer that best fits the blank is the word SATELLITES. It is the satellites that are used to determine the measurement of the ocean-surface height differences. This is used in Ocean Surface Topography wherein the sea surface is affected by both ocean circulation and gravity.

<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

Satellite

Differences in ocean-surface height can be measured by<u> Satellite</u>

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • The topography of the ocean or the height of the ocean surface relative to a level of no motion provides the information on tides, and the distribution of heat and mass in the Earths's oceans.
  • <em><u>The ocean topography is measured using satellites altimeter. Satellites use radar altimeters that are specially made to measure the height of the ocean surface.  The satellites measure the height of the ocean surface with an accuracy of 3 cm relative to the center of the earth.</u></em>
  • Satellite altimeter combines precise orbit determination with accurate ranging by a microwave altimeter of ocean distance to the satellite.

A dense metal sphere is dropped from a 10-meter tower, and at the exact same time an identical metal sphere is thrown horizontal
givi [52]

Answer:

A. Both spheres land at the same time.

Explanation:

The horizontal motion doesn't affect the vertical motion.  Since the two spheres have the same initial vertical velocity and same initial height, they land at the same time.

A 10-cm-long spring is attached to theceiling. When a 2.0 kg mass is hung from it,the spring stretches to a length of 15 cm.a.Wh
alekssr [168]

(a) 392 N/m

Hook's law states that:

F=k\Delta x (1)

where

F is the force exerted on the spring

k is the spring constant

\Delta x is the stretching/compression of the spring

In this problem:

- The force exerted on the spring is equal to the weight of the block attached to the spring:

F=mg=(2.0 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)=19.6 N

- The stretching of the spring is

\Delta x=15 cm-10 cm=5 cm=0.05 m

Solving eq.(1) for k, we find the spring constant:

k=\frac{F}{\Delta x}=\frac{19.6 N}{0.05 m}=392 N/m

(b) 17.5 cm

If a block of m = 3.0 kg is attached to the spring, the new force applied is

F=mg=(3.0 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)=29.4 N

And so, the stretch of the spring is

\Delta x=\frac{F}{k}=\frac{29.4 N}{392 N/m}=0.075 m=7.5 cm

And since the initial lenght of the spring is

x_0 = 10 cm

The final length will be

x_f = x_0 +\Delta x=10 cm+7.5 cm=17.5 cm

Describe 1 way to reduce the shortage of food for a growing human population.
alexira [117]

The answer is; producing genetically modified organism


GMOs have been shown to produce varieties of organisms that have increased yields and  are resistant to the upsets of climate change and diseases. GMOs are made by introducing genes into an organism that will confer particular desired traits such as disease and drought resistance.

Two forces (4N and 3N) pull your the left, while a 12N force pulls to the right. What is the net force
Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

The answer is 11N to the right

Explanation:

Because 4N-3N= 1N

Therefore, 12N-1N=11N

The netforce is 11N to the right, because the greatest force is 12N to the right so it is more likely that the object is being pulled to the right.
