The correct answer is A. Thermohaline circulation

Explanation:

Thermohaline circulation is a complex natural phenomenon that involves the flow of water with different temperatures, density and even salinity in oceans all around the world. This circulation of water plays an important role in the climate as warm seawater flows to regions with colder seawater. For example, warm seawater from tropical regions flows to polar regions, and this warms polar regions and it is responsible for regulating ice formation. According to this, it is Thermohaline circulation the process that helps regulate Earth's climate by transporting warm seawater to colder regions of seawater.

Answer: A. Thermohaline circulation

Explanation:

The thermohaline circulation is a phenomena which involves the movement of the oceanic currents because of the differences that occur in the temperature and salinity of oceanic water. These two factors changes the salinity and density of the water and fluctuating the climatic conditions. Cold water is particularly denser than the warm water. The water with more salinity is also denser over water with less salinity. The deep oceanic water currents brings changes in the density as well as the salinity of water hence, the circulation of water is called as thermohaline circulation. Some part of warm water will evaporate from the surface layer of the ocean this will lead to the flow of warm wind currents and water to the regions of cold regions of the seawater.

On the basis of the above description, A. Thermohaline circulation is the correct option.

A turntable rotates counterclockwise at 76 rpm . A speck of dust on the turntable is at 0.47 rad at t=0. What is the angle of th

icang [17]

To solve this exercise it is necessary to apply the kinematic equations of angular motion.

By definition we know that the displacement when there is constant angular velocity is

$\theta= \theta_0 +\omega t$

From our given data we know that,

$\omega = 76\frac{rev}{min}$

$\omega = 76\frac{rev}{min}(\frac{2\pi rad}{1rev})(\frac{1 min}{60s})$

$\omega = 7.958rad/s$

Moreover we know that

$\theta_0 = 0.47 rad$

Therefore for time t=8.1s we have,

$\theta= \theta_0+ \omega t$

$\theta= 0.47+(7.958)(8.1)$

$\theta = 64.9298rad$

That number in revolution is:

$\theta = 64.9298rad(\frac{1rev}{2\pi})$

$\theta = 15.108 Revolutions$

Here, we see that there are 15 complete revolutions

And 0.108 revolutions i not complete, so the tunable rotation is

$\theta_{net} = 0.108*2\pi=0.216\pi$

Therefore the angle of the speck at a time 8.1s is $0.216\pi$

vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

circuit sketched in first attached image.

Second attached image is for calculating the equivalent output resistance

Explanation:

For calculating the output voltage with regarding the first image.

$Vout = Vin \frac{R_{2}}{R_{2}+R_{1}}$

$Vout = 5 \frac{2000}{5000}[/[tex][tex]Vout = 5 \frac{2000}{5000}\\Vout = 5 \frac{2}{5} = 2 V$

For the calculus of the equivalent output resistance we apply thevenin, the voltage source is short and current sources are open circuit, resulting in the second image.

so.

$R_{out} = R_{2} || R_{1}\\R_{out} = 2000||3000 = \frac{2000*3000}{2000+3000} = 1200$

Taking into account the %5 tolerance, with the minimal bound for Voltage and resistance.

if the -5% is applied to both resistors the Voltage is still 5V because the quotient has 5% / 5% so it cancels. to be more logic it applies the 5% just to one resistor, the resistor in this case we choose 2k but the essential is to show that the resistors usually don't have the same value. applying to the 2k resistor we have:

$Vout = 5 \frac{1900}{4900}\\Vout = 5 \frac{19}{49} = 1.93 V$

$Vout = 5 \frac{2100}{5100}\\Vout = 5 \frac{21}{51} = 2.05 V$

$R_{out} = R_{2} || R_{1}\\R_{out} = 1900||2850= \frac{1900*2850}{1900+2850} = 1140$

$R_{out} = R_{2} || R_{1}\\R_{out} = 2100||3150 = \frac{2100*3150 }{2100+3150 } = 1260$

so.

$V_{out} = {1.93,2.05}V\\R_{1} = {1900,2100}\\R_{2} = {2850,3150}\\R_{out} = {1140,1260}$

A projectile has an initial horizontal velocity of 15 meters per second and an initial vertical velocity of 25 meters per second

Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

75 m

Explanation:

The horizontal motion of the projectile is a uniform motion with constant speed, since there are no forces acting along the horizontal direction (if we neglect air resistance), so the horizontal acceleration is zero.

The horizontal component of the velocity of the projectile is

$v_x = 15 m/s$

and it is constant during the motion;

the total time of flight is

t = 5 s

Therefore, we can apply the formula of the uniform motion to find the horizontal displacement of the projectile:

$d= v_x t =(15 m/s)(5 s)=75 m$

Gibbons, small Asian apes, move by brachiation, swinging below a handhold to move forward to the next handhold. A 9.4 kg gibbon

Katarina [22]

Answer:

upward force acting = 261.6 N

Explanation:

given,

mass of gibbon = 9.4 kg

arm length = 0.6 m

speed of the swing

net force must provide

$F_{branch} + F_{gravity}=F_{centripetal}$

force of gravity = - mg

$F_{branch}=F_{centripetal}-F_{gravity}$

= $\dfrac{mv^2}{r} + mg$

= $m(\dfrac{3.4^2}{0.6} +9.8)$

=9 x 29.067

= 261.6 N

upward force acting = 261.6 N

A particle moves along a straight line with a velocity in meters per second given by v = 12 - 3t + 8t, where t is in seconds. Wh

elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given the velocity of a particle modeled by the equation

v = 13-3t+8t² where t is in seconds

Given t = 0 and position s = +5m

A) To get the position as a function of time, we will integrate the function with respect to t ad shown;

v = 13-3t+8t²

S = ∫13-3t+8t² dt

S = 13t-13t²/2+8t³/3 + C

at t = 0 and S = +5m

5 = 13(0)-13(0)²/2+8(0)³/3+C

5 = 0-0+0+C

C = 5

Substituting c = 5 into the displacement function

S = 13t-13t²/2+8t³/3 + C

S = 13t-13t²/2+8t³/3 + 5

B) acceleration is the change in velocity with respect to time.

a = dv/dt

Given v = 13-3t+8t²

a= dv/dt = -3+16t

a = 16-3t

C) acceleration at t = 6s is derived by plugging in t = 6 into the resulting equations in (B)

a = 16-3t

a = 16-3(6)

a = 16-18

a = -2m/s²

D) net displacement from t = 0 to t = 6s

At t = 0:

S(0) = 13(0)-13(0)²/2+8(0)³/3 + 5

S(0) = 0+5

S(0) = 5m

At t = 6s

S(6) = 13(6)-13(6)²/2+8(6)³/3 + 5

S(6) = 78-234+576+5

S(6) = 425m

Net displacement from t = 0s to t = 6s is s(6)-s(0)

= 425-5

= 420m

E) Total distance travelled D = S(6)+S(0)

= 425+5

= 430m

F) Average velocity = ∆S/∆t

Average velocity = S(6)-S(0)/6-0

Average velocity = 425-5/6

Average velocity = 420/6

Average velocity = 70m/s
