Answer:

Ocean currents are formed by a heat current called <u>convection.</u>

Explanation:

Ocean currents are caused by two different things, the wind and convection. Convection is a process that changes the temperature of the water and causes movement. Convection occurs because the water in the ocean heats up and becomes less dense.

A dog of mass 10 kg sits on a skateboard of mass 2 kg that is initially traveling south at 2 m/s. The dog jumps off with a veloc

Tasya [4]

Answer:

17 m/s south

Explanation:

$m_1$ = Mass of dog = 10 kg

$m_2$ = Mass of skateboard = 2 kg

v = Combined velocity = 2 m/s

$u_1$ = Velocity of dog = 1 m/s

$u_2$ = Velocity of skateboard

In this system the linear momentum is conserved

$(m_1+m_2)v+m_1u_1+m_2u_2=0\\\Rightarrow u_2=-\dfrac{(m_1+m_2)v+m_1u_1}{m_2}\\\Rightarrow u_2=-\dfrac{(10+2)2+10\times 1}{2}\\\Rightarrow u_2=-17\ m/s$

The velocity of the skateboard will be 17 m/s south as the north is taken as positive
