Answer:

FALSE

Explanation:

The under-water deep ocean currents that are generated due to the differences in the water density are generally termed as the thermohaline circulation. It is mainly controlled by the two factors namely the temperature and the salinity. The word 'thermohaline' is directly derived from the temperature (thermo) and salinity (haline).

This thermohaline circulation is considered as the oceanic conveyor belt that allows the water to move under the surface of water at certain depths from the equator to the poles and back from the poles to the equator.

Thus, it is directly associated with the density of the water. It has no relation with the wind.

Hence, the above statement is False.

An object with a mass of 7.1 g raises the level of water in a graduated cylinder from 25.1 mL to 32.4 mL. What is the density of

jeka57 [31]

Answer:

0.9726g/ml

0.9726g/cm³

Explanation:

Density is found by dividing mass by volume.

Density = mass/volume

mass = 7.1g

volume= the new level of water raised - the initial level of water

volume = 32.4 - 25.1

volume = 7.3 ml

Volume is the amount of space occupied by an object.meaning the amount of volume displaced by the object is its volume.

density = 7.1 /7.3

density = 0.9726g/ml

or 0.9726 g/cm³

What is the mass of a bar of aluminum with length 5.3cm, width 0.32 cm and height 2.34cm? The density of aluminum is 2.70g/cm3.

Tatiana [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Density of a substance can be found by using the formula

$Density = \frac{mass}{volume}$

Making mass the subject we have

$mass = Density \times volume$

From the question

Density = 2.70 g/cm³

We assume that the aluminum is a cuboid

and volume of a cuboid is given by

Volume = length × width × height

length = 5.3 cm

width = 0.32 cm

height = 2.34 cm

Volume = 5.3 × 0.32 × 2.34 = 3.97 cm³

Substitute the values into the above and solve for the mass

We have

mass = 2.70 × 3.97

We have the final answer as

Hope this helps you
