The California current is an ocean current that moves cold water from the north along the west coast of the United States. The main effect of this current is to make the climate of the west coast cooler.

<span>The movement of Alaskan and northern water currents southward down the west coast results in much cooler ocean temperatures than at comparable latitudes on the east coast of the United States, where waters currents come from the Caribbean and Tropical Atlantic.</span>

How far can a sound wave travel in 90 seconds when the ambient air temperature is 10 C?
Ksju [112]

Answer:

s = 30330.7 m = 30.33 km

Explanation:

First we need to calculate the speed of sound at the given temperature. For this purpose we use the following formula:

v = v₀√[T/273 k]

where,

v = speed of sound at given temperature = ?

v₀ = speed of sound at 0°C = 331 m/s

T = Given Temperature = 10°C + 273 = 283 k

Therefore,

v = (331 m/s)√[283 k/273 k]

v = 337 m/s

Now, we use the following formula to calculate the distance traveled  by sound:

s = vt

where,

s = distance traveled = ?

t = time taken = 90 s

Therefore,

s = (337 m/s)(90 s)

<u>s = 30330.7 m = 30.33 km</u>

The speed on a car speedometer. Is it speed or velocity? Explain Why
Sliva [168]
Velocity is a speed AND a direction.
When you turn a corner, or go around a curve in the road, your
direction changes, but the reading on the dial doesn't change.
So it can't be showing velocity.  It must be showing only speed.
That's probably a big part of the reason why it's called a speedometer
and not a velocimeter.

A dog, with a mass of 10.0 kg, is standing on a flatboat so that he is 22.5 m from the shore. He walks 7.8 m on the boat toward
marissa [1.9K]

Answer:16.096

Explanation:

Given

mass of dog\left ( m_d\right )=10kg

mass of boat\left ( m_b\right )=46kg

distance moved by dog relative to ground=x_d

distance moved by boat relative to ground=x_b

Distance moved by dog relative to boat=7.8m

There no net force on the system therefore centre of mass of system remains at its position

0=m_d\times x_d+m_b\dot x_b

0=10\times x_d+46\dot x_b

x_d=-4.6x_b

i.e. boat will move opposite to the direction of dog

Now

|x_d|+|x_b|=7.8

substitutingx_dvalue

5.6|x_b|=7.8

|x_b|=1.392m

|x_d|=6.4032m

now the dog is  22.5-6.403=16.096m from shore

Waves are observed passing under a dock. Wave crests are 8.0 meters apart. The time for a complete wave to pass by is 4.0 second
Anit [1.1K]
The amplitude of a wave can be obtained by measuring the distance from the resting position of the wave to its crest. The resting position is half of the distance from the crest to the trough. Given that the distance between the crest and the trough is 3 meters, the amplitude should be half of that, which is 1.5 meters.
