Ocean currents near the equator are primarily: eastward westward north and south clockwise
sladkih [1.3K]
Equatorial currents are primarily westward. This is because the dominant current in the northern hemisphere has a clockwise direction, while the southern hemisphere has a counterclockwise direction. When these two currents meet at the equator, a common westward current exists.

A light-rail commuter train accelerates at a rate of 1.35 m/s. D A 33% Part (a) How long does it take to reach its top speed of
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

a) 17.49 seconds

b) 13.12 seconds

c) 2.99 m/s²

Explanation:

a) Acceleration = a = 1.35 m/s²

Final velocity = v = 85 km/h = 85\frac{1000}{3600}=23.61\ m/s

Initial velocity = u = 0

Equation of motion

v=u+at\\\Rightarrow 23.61=0+1.35t\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{23.61}{1.35}=17.49\ s

Time taken to accelerate to top speed is 17.49 seconds.

b) Acceleration = a = -1.8 m/s²

Initial velocity = u = 23.61\ m/s

Final velocity = v = 0

v=u+at\\\Rightarrow 0=23.61-1.8t\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{23.61}{1.8}=13.12\ s

Time taken to stop the train from top speed is 13.12 seconds

c) Initial velocity = u = 23.61 m/s

Time taken = t = 7.9 s

Final velocity = v = 0

v=u+at\\\Rightarrow 0=23.61+a7.9\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{-23.61}{7.9}=-2.99\ m/s^2

Emergency acceleration is 2.99 m/s² (magnitude)

Identify two fields where physical quantities are used in motion calculations​
larisa86 [58]

The two fields were physical quantities are used in motion calculations are length and mass with time.

The physical quantity in a field is referred as every point in a particular space time.

<h3>How physical quantities are used in motion calculations?</h3>

 If we consider an object, the physical property of the object is considered as physical quantity and to measure that object is known as units. The Physical quantity can be classified as elemental physical quantity and derived physical quantity. Length, mass, time, etc.. are elemental physical quantity, momentum, density, acceleration, etc... are derived physical quantity. Only for charge and temperature the physical quantity will be less than zero.

Length, mass and time  are the physical quantities used in motion calculations.

I will give Brainliest to whoever can answer!!!!
Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

The nodes and anti nodes would reverse roles.

Explanation:

I believe it has to do with the path differences. If waves are in phase, then the path differences are such that the waves reach the screen with crests superimposing crests and troughs superimposing troughs. This happens when the periods of each wave are equal or the paths themselves differ by a whole number multiple of the wavelength (λ, 2λ, 3λ, ...).

Now make these waves out of phase. Then half of the waves will travel half a wavelength farther than the rest. So the path difference will be 0.5λ, 1.5λ, 2.5λ, ....
