To get an idea of how much thermal energy is contained in the world's oceans, estimate the heat liberated when a cube of ocean w

ater, 3 km on each side, is cooled by 4 K. (Approximate the ocean water as pure water for this estimate.)

Answer:

Q = 4.52 10¹⁷ J

Explanation:

Thermal energy can be calculated with  

      Q = m c_{e} ΔT

in this case it indicates that we approximate seawater to pure water with  

    c_{e} = 4186 J/ kg K  

with the density

    ρ = m / V  

    m = ρ V  

    V = L³  

we substitute  

   m = ρ L³  

   Q = ρ L3 c_{e} ΔT

calculate  

   Q = 1000 (3 103) 3 4186 4  

   Q = 4.52 10¹⁷ J

The second law of motion states that: the acceleration of an object is dependent upon two variables: - the net force acting upon the object and the mass of the object. The acceleration of an object depends directly upon the net force acting upon the object

<h3>Meaning of Motion</h3>

Motion can be defined as the process of changing position willingly or due to a force applied.

Motion can be seen in different forms and types depending on the object.

In conclusion, The second law of motion is used to deduce the formula for acceleration.

How are climate and weather related?
iris [78.8K]

Explain how carbon is cycled between the hydrosphere and geosphere. Use specific examples.
joja [24]
Carbon is found in the solid form in geosphere of our earth. Coal and oil are some of the examples of materials containing carbon in the geosphere. when the coal or oil is burnt, carbon dioxide is formed and released in atmosphere. This carbon dioxide is absorbed by the water of the hydrosphere with the help of algae and plankton. The water turns acidic in nature. This way carbon is transferred from geosphere to hydrosphere.

At the top of a hill a roller coaster has gravitational potential energy due to its position. What happend to this potential ene
Anuta_ua [19.1K]

As the roller coaster speeds up on the way down the hill, the potential energy of  roller coaster will be converted to kinetic energy.

<h3>What is Conservation of Energy ?</h3>

Conservation of energy state that energy is neither created nor destroy, they can only be transformed from one form to another. Energy of and object can transform from Potential energy to kinetic energy and vice versa

Given that at the top of a hill a roller coaster has gravitational potential energy due to its position. What will happen to this potential energy as the roller coaster speeds up on the way down the hill is that the potential energy to the roller coaster will start decreasing while the kinetic energy will start to increase.

The total energy of the roller coaster will be constant because of conservation of energy. As the roller coaster speeds up on the way down the hill, the potential energy will eventually reduce to zero where the total energy of the as the roller coaster will be equal to maximum kinetic energy.

Therefore, as the roller coaster speeds up on the way down the hill, the potential energy of  roller coaster will be converted to kinetic energy.
