<span>The question says, what drives surface current. The correct option is A, that is wind. There are two different current system in the ocean, they are deep circulation and surface circulation. Surface current is majorly driven by the wind. The wind is capable of moving the top 400 meters of the ocean, thereby creating ocean surface current. The pattern of the surface current is determined by the direction of the wind, forces from the earth rotation and the position of the landform that interact with the current.</span>

Violet light (λ = 400 nm) passing through a diffraction grating for which the slit spacing is 6.0 μm forms a pattern on a screen

sergey [27]

Answer:

3 order dark fringe

Explanation:

y = Distance from central bright fringe = 204 mm

λ = Wavelength = 400 nm

L = Distance between screen and source = 1 m

d = Slit distance = 6 μm

$tan\theta =\frac{y}{L}\\\Rightarrow tan\theta =\frac{204}{1000}=0.2012^{\circ}$

$dsin\theta=m\lambda\\\Rightarrow m=\frac{dsin\theta}{\lambda}\\\Rightarrow m=\frac{6\times 10^{-6}sin0.2012}{400\times 10^{-9}}=2.9982\approx 3$

Order of fringe is 3

So, it is a Dark order fringe

a fan acquires a speed of 180 rpm in 4s, starting from rest. calculate the speed of the fan at the end of the 5th second startin

KengaRu [80]

Answer:

225 rpm

Explanation:

The angular acceleration of the fan is given by:

$\alpha = \frac{\omega_f - \omega_i}{\Delta t}$

where

$\omega_f$ is the final angular speed

$\omega_i$ is the initial angular speed

$\Delta t$ is the time interval

For the fan in this problem,

$\omega_i = 0\\\omega_f = 180 rpm\\\Delta t=4 s$

Substituting,

$\alpha = \frac{180-0}{4}=45 rpm/s$

Now we can find the angular speed of the fan at the end of the 5th second, so after t = 5 s. It is given by:

$\omega' = \omega_i + \alpha t$

where

$\omega_i = 0\\\alpha = 45 rpm/s\\t = 5 s$

Substituting,

$\omega' = 0 + (45)(5)=225 rpm$

A bike travels 4 miles in half an hour at what speed

Sloan [31]

8 miles per hour
because if it is moving at 4 miles every half hour that means you have to multiply it by two to get it in miles per hour and we all know that 4 times 2 is 8 so it would be 8 miles per hour =)
