What role do currents play in transporting heat? How does water temperature affect land nearby?

Physics
1 answer:
yarga [219]3 years ago
7 0

When warm currents move over cool land surface, they dissipate heat due to the temperature gradient . They hence warm up the land they blow over. If a cold current blows over warm land, the land loses heat to the current. This is how currents distribute heat across the earth.


When the current blow from water to land, the current will be warm or cold depending on the water temperatures. Therefore, they will warm up or cool the adjacent land mass.

A singly charged positive ion has a mass of 3.46 × 10−26 kg. After being accelerated through a potential difference of 215 V the
jasenka [17]

Answer:

1.8 cm

Explanation:

m = mass of the singly charged positive ion = 3.46 x 10⁻²⁶ kg

q = charge on the singly charged positive ion = 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ C

\Delta V =Potential difference through which the ion is accelerated = 215 V

v = Speed of the ion

Using conservation of energy

Kinetic energy gained by ion = Electric potential energy lost

(0.5) m v^{2} = q \Delta V\\(0.5) (3.46\times10^{-26}) v^{2} = (1.6\times10^{-19}) (215)\\(1.73\times10^{-26}) v^{2} = 344\times10^{-19}\\v = 4.5\times10^{4} ms^{-1}

r = Radius of the path followed by ion

B = Magnitude of magnetic field = 0.522 T

the magnetic force on the ion provides the necessary centripetal force, hence

qvB = \frac{mv^{2} }{r} \\qB = \frac{mv}{r}\\r =\frac{mv}{qB}\\r =\frac{(3.46\times10^{-26})(4.5\times10^{4})}{(1.6\times10^{-19})(0.522)}\\r = 0.018 m \\r = 1.8 cm

How long must a simple pendulum be if it is to make exactly one swing per four seconds? (That is, one complete oscillation takes
cricket20 [7]

Answer:

Length of the pendulum will be 3.987 m

Explanation:

We have given time period of the pendulum T = 8 sec

Acceleration due to gravity g=9.81m/sec^2

We have to find the length of the simple pendulum

We know that time period of the simple pendulum is given by

T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{l}{g}}

8=2\times 3.14 \sqrt{\frac{l}{9.81}}

l=3.987m

So length of the pendulum will be 3.987 m

Cart 1 of mass m is traveling with speed 2vo in the +x-direction when it has an elastic collision with cart 2 of
iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

Explanation:

Momentum conservation

m2v_0+2mv_0=mv_1+2mv_2 \quad (1/m) \quad 4v_0=v_1+2v_2\\

Kinetic energy conservation

\displaystyle \frac{1}{2}m(2v_0)^2+\frac{1}{2}2mv_0^2=\frac{1}{2}mv_1^2+\frac{1}{2}2mv_2^2 \quad (1/m) \quad 6v_0^2=v_1^2+2v_2^2

Solve the system
