What are the factors that affect ocean density?

Physics

Leokris [45]3 years ago

Ocean water are the temperature of the water and the salinity of the water. The density of seawater plays a vital role in causing ocean currents and circulating heat because of the fact that dense water sinks below less dense. Salinity, temperature and depth all affect the density of seawater. ... This means it is denser than pure water. The higher the salinity, the higher the density.

mart [117]

Answer:

Air resistance slows down the ball

In space, there would be no air resistance

Explanation:

When an object moves through the air, there is a force acting in the opposite direction to the motion of the ball: this force is called air resistance.

Air resistance is due to the friction between the molecules of air and the molecules at the surface of the object - because of this frictional force, the object is slows down in its motion and loses some energy (which is converted into thermal energy of the surrounding air).

There is also the force of gravity (downward) that acts on the ball: however, this force does not slows down the ball in its motion, instead it accelerates it towards the ground.

In space, however, there is no air and no gravity. This means that there are no forces acting on the ball: therefore, the ball will not be slowed down, and therefore will continue its motion forever, at constant velocity, according to Newton's first law:

<em>An object at rest (or in motion) will stay at rest (or in motion at constant velocity) when the net external force acting on it is zero</em>

storchak [24]

Answer:

4.2 km

Explanation:

A triangle is a polygon with three sides and three angles. There are different types of triangles such as isosceles triangle, scalene triangle, equilateral triangle and right angled triangle.

Sine rule states that for a triangle with angles A,B and C and corresponding opposite sides a, b, and c, the following formula holds:

\frac{a}{sin(A)}=\frac{b}{sin(B)}=\frac{c}{sin(C)}

Let the starting point be A, hence the side opposite to the  angle = a = distance travelled in north east direction.

Let the point of 60° of northeast be B = 90° + (90° - 60°) = 120°, hence the side opposite to the  angle = b = resultant displacement = 8 km.

Let C be the endpoint, hence the side opposite to the  angle = c = distance travelled north = 5 km

Using sine rule:

\frac{b}{sin(B)}=\frac{c}{sin(C)}  \\\\\frac{8}{sin(120)}=\frac{5}{sin(C)}  \\\\sin(C)=\frac{5*sin(120)}{8} =0.5412\\\\C=sin^{-1}(0.5412)=32.8^o\\\\

∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180° (sum of angle in a triangle)

∠A + 120 + 32.8 = 180

∠A = 27.2°

\frac{b}{sin(B)}=\frac{a}{sin(A)}  \\\\\frac{8}{sin(120)}=\frac{a}{sin(27.2)}  \\\\a=\frac{8*sin(27.2)}{sin(120)} \\\\a=4.2\ km

Therefore she travelled 4.2 km in the north east direction

ale4655 [162]

Answer: This is because water has a higher Specific Heat Capacity than air.

Explanation:

The specific heat capacity of an object measures how much heat will be required to change its temperature.

Water has a higher specific heat capacity than air, so the temperature of the water will remain fairly constant even though the air surrounding the water is experience temperature changes.

Since air has a lower Specific Heat Capacity than water, heat from the sun will readily heat it up in comparison to water.
