What two factors are a part of thermohaline circulation

Physics
1 answer:
Margarita [4]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

These deep-ocean currents are driven by differences in the water's density, which is controlled by temperature (thermo) and salinity (haline). This process is known as thermohaline circulation.

A building made with a steel structure is 565 m high on a winter day when the temperature is 0◦F. How much taller is the buildin
anyanavicka [17]

To solve this problem we apply the thermodynamic equations of linear expansion in bodies.

Mathematically the change in the length of a body is subject to the mathematical expression

\Delta L = L_0 \alpha \Delta T

Where,

L_0 = Initial Length

\alpha = Thermal expansion coefficient

\Delta T = Change in temperature

Since we have values in different units we proceed to transform the temperature to degrees Celsius so

0\°F \Rightarrow (0-32)*\frac{5}{9} = -17.77\°C

103\°F \Rightarrow (103-32)*(\frac{5}{9})= 39.44\°C

The coefficient of thermal expansion given is

\alpha = 1.1*10^{-5}/\°C

The initial length would be,

L_0 = 565m

Replacing we have to,

\Delta L = L_0 \alpha \Delta T

\Delta L = (565)(1.1*10^{-5})(39.44-(-17.77))

\Delta L = (565)(1.1*10^{-5})(39.44-(-17.77))

\Delta L = 0.355m

This means that the building will be 35.5cm taller

Which biome has the most extreme conditions
Lelu [443]
Well this all depends on the region you would like to know about. One biome would be The Tundra. This biome is a very bitter cold. Some times the temperature can drop to -45f! So your answer more than likely would be Tundra.

Have a wonderful day user!

How much work (in J) is done against the gravitational force on a 3.9 kg briefcase when it is carried from the ground floor to t
katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

W = 14523.6 J

Explanation:

Given,

Mass = 3.9 Kg

Vertical height , h = 380 m

Work done against gravitational force

W = m g h

g is acceleration due to gravity

W = 3.9 x 9.8 x 380

W = 14523.6 J

Hence, the work done by the gravitational force is equal to W = 14523.6 J
