tangare [24]
A gyre is a set of currents that form b. a loop. The circulation of gyres are affected by global wind patterns, landmasses, and the planet's rotation. The circulation is also affected by temperature, as warm water goes up and cold water sinks. There are five major gyres in the world: <span>North Atlantic, South Atlantic, Indian, North Pacific, and South Pacific.</span>

Imagine a particle that has three times the mass of the electron. All other quantities given above remain the same. What is the
melamori03 [73]

Answer:

The only parameter that changes is mass m

It is only necessary to calculate the ratio Eh/Ee

m_{h}=3m_{e}\\E_{h}=\frac{3m_{e}v^{2}}{2}\\E_{e}=\frac{m_{e}v^{2}}{2}\\\frac{E{h}}{E{e}}=3

The kinetic energy of the heavy paricle is three times the kinetic energy of an electron

Acceleration is defined as the rate of change for which characteristic?
Alenkasestr [34]

1) C. velocity

Acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity per unit time. In formulas:

a=\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}

where

\Delta v is the change in velocity

\Delta t is the time interval

Therefore, the correct answer is C. velocity.


2) A. 9.8m/s/s

Earth's gravity is a force, so it produces an acceleration on every object with mass located on the Earth's surface. This acceleration can be calculated, as it is given by the formula

g=\frac{GM}{r^2}

where

G=6.67\cdot 10^{-11} m^3 kg^{-1} s^{-2} is the gravitational constant

M=5.98\cdot 10^{24} kg is the Earth's mass

r=6.37\cdot 10^6 m is the Earth's radius

By substituting these numbers into the formula, one can find that the acceleration due to Earth's gravity is g=9.81 m/s^2.

The reservoir stores 6 500 000 m3 of water. The density of the water is 998 kg/m3. Calculate the mass of water in the reservoir.
Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

Mass = 64,870,000,000 kilograms

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Density = 998 kg/m³

Volume = 6,500,000 m³

To find the mass of water in the reservoir;

Density can be defined as mass all over the volume of an object.

Simply stated, density is mass per unit volume of an object.

Mathematically, density is given by the equation;

Density = mass/volume

Making mass the subject of formula, we have;

Mass = density * volume

Mass = 998 * 6,500,000

Mass = 64,870,000,000 kilograms
