The first wave that forms when the wind begins to blow across the ocean surface is a <u>capillary wave</u>

The capillary waves represent the initial state of a wave that are produced by vortices in a flat sea. When the winds blow over an ocean, energy is transferred from the wind to the sea. and that produced the waves. They are also presented as ripples.

The capillary waves have a wavelength less than 1.7 cm or 0.68 inches and its speed of 0.2 to 0.3 meter per second.

<h3>What is a capillary wave?</h3>

It is a wave that is travelling along the interface boundary of a fluid and it is influenced by the effect of surface tension and the gravity.

A few years ago, the legal speed limit on the Turner Turnpike was changed from 55.0 mi/h to 75.0 mi/h.

The amount of time saved on the 86.0 mile trip from Tulsa entrance to Oklahoma City is 0.42 hours

Time is the measurement of a past, present, or future event. The S.I unit of time is seconds (s)

To get the time that was saved on the 8.6-mile trip, we use the formula below.

Formula:

Ts = (d/v₁)-(d/v₂)................. Equation 1.

Where:

Ts = Time saved on the trip
d = distance covered during the trip
v₁ = Initial legal speed limit
v₂ = final/current legal speed limit.

From the question,

Given:

d = 86.0 mile
v₁ = 55.0 mi/h
v₂ = 75.0 mi/h

Substitute these values into equation 1

Ts = (86/55)-(86/75)
Ts = 1.564-1.147
Ts = 0.42 h.

Hence, The amount of time saved on the 86.0 mile trip from Tulsa entrance to Oklahoma City is 0.42 hours.

Rama09 [41]

Answer:

$a_s=4.8\times 10^{-2}~m^2$

Explanation:

Given:

cross sectional area of the bone, $a=4.8 \times 10^{-4} ~m^2$

factor of up-scaling the dimensions, $s=10$

Since we need to find the upscaled area having two degrees of the dimension therefore the scaling factor gets squared for the area being it in 2-dimensions.

The scaled up area is:

$a_s=a\times s^2$

$a_s=[4.8 \times 10^{-4}]\times 10^2$

$a_s=4.8\times 10^{-2}~m^2$
