The ocean's water's density increases when it gets colder.
The molecules in the water get colder and move less, causing it to densify... As though it were freezing (though we all know the ocean hasn't ever frozen)

Answer: The correct answer is b. gets older.

Explanation: Density is defined as ratio of mass and volume.

Mathematically,

$Density=\frac{Mass}{Volume}$

We know that volume is directly related to temperature.

$Volume \propto Temperature$

When the temperature of the substance increases, particles gets separated and this results in the increase of volume.

When the temperature of the substance decreases, the particles come closer to each other, resulting in the decrease of volume.

From the above relation, we conclude that the temperature is inversely related to density.

$Density=\frac{1}{Temperature}$

As the temperature gets colder, it results in the increase in the density. Hence, the correct option is b.

<span>If a behavior tends to increase after a consequence occurs, that consequence is most likely used as a catalyst. In terms of chemical reactions, catalysts are used to increase the rate of reaction. Given that, when an object causes a situation to become more frequent, then it is considered as a catalyst.</span>

A person driving her car at 43 km/h approaches an intersection just as the traffic light turns yellow. She knows that the yellow

siniylev [52]

Answer:

If she hits the brakes, she will travel 13m before stopping. If she hits the gas, she will travel 28 before the light turns red. She should try to stop

Explanation:

To know how far she will travel before stopping, we need to use a kinematic formula which initial final velocity (Vf), initial velocity (V0), acceleration (a) and distance traveled(x):

$V_{f}^{2}=V_{0} ^{2} +2ax$

The moment in which she stops is when the final velocity equals zero. In this case, initial velocity is 43km/h=12m/s, and its maximum deceleration is -5.4m/s^2. Plugging in these values and solving for x:

$0^2=(12m/s)^2+2(-5.4m/s)x\\x=13m$

She will travel 13m before stopping

If she hits the gas, we need another kinematic formula, which relates distance traveled, initial speed, time (t) and acceleration.

$x=v_{0}t+0.5a*t^2$

If we know her car can accelerate from 43km/h=12m/s to 70km/h=19m/s in 8.1 s, we can know its acceleration:

$a=\frac{19m/s-12m/s}{8.1s}=0.86m/s^2$

In this case, the time before the light turns red is 2.0s. Plugging in all those values:

$x=12m/s*2s+0.5*0.86m/s^2*(2s)^2=28m$

If she hits the gas, she will travel 28m before the light turns red. She won't even reach the intersection, so she would try to stop.

A helicopter is hovering above the ground. Jim reaches out of the copter (with a safety harness on) at 180 m above the ground. A

vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

The maximum height of the package is 140 m above the ground. Jim Bond will not catch the package.

Explanation:

Hi there!

The equation of height and velocity of the package are the following:

h = h0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · g · t²

v = v0 + g · t

Where:

h = height of the package at time t.

h0 = initial height.

v0 = initial velocity.

t = time.

g = acceleration due to gravity (-9.81 m/s² because we consider the upward direction as positive).

v = velocity of the package at a time t.

First, let´s find the time it takes the package to reach the maximum height. For this, we will use the equation of velocity because we know that at the maximum height, the velocity of the package is zero. So, we have to find the time at which v = 0:

v = v0 + g · t

0 = 50.5 m/s - 9.8 m/s² · t

Solving for t:

-50.5 m/s / -9.81 m/s² = t

t = 5.15 s

Now, let´s find the height that the package reaches in that time using the equation of height. Let´s place the origin of the frame of reference on the ground so that the initial position of the package is 10 m above the ground:

h = h0 + v0 · t + 1/2 · g · t²

h = 10 m + 50.5 m/s · 5.15 s - 1/2 · 9.81 m/s² · (5.15 s)²

h = 140 m

The maximum height of the package is 140 m above the ground. Jim Bond will not catch the package.

What is used to study the waves ?

rewona [7]

Answer:

Buoys can be used to measure the height, period and direction of waves. The buoy can even measure its own acceleration – this can tell scientists whether it is falling from the top of a high wave into a trough.:
