Winds blowing across the ocean surface push water away. Water then rises up from beneath the surface to replace the water that was pushed away. This process is known as “upwelling.”
Upwelling occurs in the open ocean and along coastlines. The reverse process, called “downwelling,” also occurs when wind causes surface water to build up along a coastline and the surface water eventually sinks toward the bottom.
Water that rises to the surface as a result of upwelling is typically colder and is rich in nutrients. These nutrients “fertilize” surface waters, meaning that these surface waters often have high biological productivity. Therefore, good fishing grounds typically are found where upwelling is common.
Answer:
That is, mechanical waves cannot travel through a vacuum. This feature of mechanical waves is often demonstrated in a Physics class. A ringing bell is placed in a jar and air inside the jar is evacuated. Once air is removed from the jar, the sound of the ringing bell can no longer be heard.
The density of silver is ρ = 10500 kg/m³ approximately.
Given:
m = 1.70 kg, the mass of silver
t = 3.0 x 10⁻⁷ m, the thickness of the sheet
Let A be the area.
Then, by definition,
m = (t*A)*ρ
Therefore
A = m/(t*ρ)
= (1.7 kg)/ [(3.0 x 10⁻⁷ m)*(10500 kg/m³)]
= 539.7 m²
Answer: 539.7 m²
Answer:
c) It increases by a factor of 8
Explanation:
According to Faraday's law (and Lenz' law), the induced EMF is given as the rate of change of magnetic flux.
Mathematically:
V = -dФ/dt
Magnetic flux, Ф, is given as:
Ф = BA
where B = magnetic field strength and A = Area of object
Hence, induced EMF becomes:
V = -d(BA)/dt or -BA/t
If the magnetic field is increased by a factor of 4, (
) and the time required for the rod to move is decreased by a factor of 2 (
), the induced EMF becomes:
The EMF has increased by a factor of 8.
Answer:
227.9MPa
Explanation:
Length of the flaws is given by
