Answer:

1. MOON has the greatest influence over the tides

2. Ocean currents can be caused by wind, density differences in water masses caused by temperature and salinity variations, gravity, and events such as earthquakes or storms.

A 70.0-kg skier is sliding at 4 m/s when they slide down a 2m high hill. At the bottom of the hill they run into a large 2800 N/

Katarina [22]

Answer:

$\Delta x=245\ mm$

Explanation:

Given:

mass of skier, $m=70\ kg$

initial velocity of skier, $u=4\ m.s^{-1}$

height of the hill, $h=2\ m$

spring constant, $k=2800\ N.m^{-1}$

final velocity of skier before coming in contact of spring:

Using eq. of motion:

$v^2=u^2+gh$

$v^2=4^2+9.8\times 2$

$v=5.9666\ m.s^{-1}$

Now the time taken by the skier to reach down:

$v=u+gt$

$5.9666=4+9.8\ t$

$t=0.2007\ s$

Now we calculate force using Newton's second law:

$F=\frac{dp}{dt}$

$F=\frac{m(v-u)}{t}$

$F=\frac{70\times(5.9666-4)}{0.2007}$

$F\approx686\ N$

∴Compression in spring before the skier momentarily comes to rest:

$\Delta x=\frac{F}{k}$

$\Delta x=\frac{686}{2800}$

$\Delta x=0.245\ m$

$\Delta x=245\ mm$

A 5000 kg truck traveling at 60 m/s stops in 5 seconds. How much friction was between the truck's tires and the ground?

oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer:

60000N

Explanation:

acceleration is change in velocity

a =(v-u)/t where a is acceleration u is initial velocity and v is final velocity

a = (0-60)/5 = -60/5= - 12m/s^2

here minus sign shows that body is decelerating and force is force of friction Now f = ma here f is force of friction m is mass and a is acceleration

f= 5000×- 12= -60000N

MINUS SIGN HERE SHOWS FORCE OF FRICTION

Hence force of friction is 60000N

Convection is usually described as a ___________; when something is heated, it rises, cools, and then falls in a circular patter

creativ13 [48]

Answer:

Current

Explanation:

Convection is the movement caused within a fluid by the tendency of hotter and therefore less dense material to rise, and colder, denser material to sink under the influence of gravity, which consequently results in transfer of heat. Simply put, Convection is the circular motion that happens when warmer air or liquid — which has faster moving molecules, making it less dense — rises, while the cooler air or liquid drops down.

An everyday example of convection is boiling water ; The heat passes from the burner into the pot, heating the water at the bottom. The water at the bottom rises and is replaced by the water at the top of the pot.

This rise of less dense water at a higher temperature and fall of denser water at a lower temperature sets up a convention current circularly until the water boils. This is a typical example of the day to day application of convection currents.

What is the best description of the end result of chemical bonding for most

forsale [732]

A. Getting a full set of valence electrons

Explanation:

The best description of the end result of chemical bonding for most atoms is the getting of a full set of valence electrons.

Atoms reacts with one another in order to complete valence electronic shell.

The valence electron shell is the outermost energy level of an atom.
It is from this energy level that electrons are lost or gained to form bonds.
All atoms wants to be like the noble gases whose valence electronic shell is completely filled up
This is the crux of chemical bonding
The attraction that is produced from the interaction leads to bond formation
