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.

From a vantage point very close to the track at a stock car race, you hear the sound emitted by a moving car. You detect a frequ

Alexandra [31]

Approximately 15 m/s is the speed of the car.

Explanation:

Given:

speed of sound - 343 m/s

You detect a frequency that is 0.959 times as small as the frequency emitted by the car when it is stationary. So, it can be written as,

$f^{\prime}=0.959 f$

$\frac{f^{\prime}}{f}=0.959$

If there is relative movement between an observer and source, the frequency heard by an observer differs from the actual frequency of the source. This changed frequency is called the apparent frequency. This variation in frequency of sound wave due to motion is called the Doppler shift (Doppler effect). In general,

$f^{\prime}=\left(\frac{v+v_{0}}{v-v_{s}}\right) \times f$

Where,

$f^'$ - Observed frequency

f – Actual frequency

v – Velocity of sound waves

$v_0$ – Velocity of observer

$v_s$ - velocity of source

When source moves away from an observer at rest ( $v_{0} = 0$ ), the equation would be

$f^{\prime}=\left(\frac{v}{v-\left(-v_{s}\right)}\right) \times f$

$f^{\prime}=\left(\frac{v}{v+v_{s}}\right) \times f$

$\frac{f^{\prime}}{f}=\left(\frac{v}{v+v_{s}}\right)$

By substituting the known values, we get

$0.959=\left(\frac{343}{343+v_{s}}\right)$

$0.959\left(343+v_{s}\right)=343$

$0.959(343)+0.959\left(v_{s}\right)=343$

$328.937+0.959 v_{s}=343$

$0.959 v_{s}=343-328.937=14.063$

$v_{s}=\frac{14.063}{0.959}=14.66 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}$

Approximately 15 m/s is the speed of the car.

A 4 kg bowling ball rolls at a speed of 5 m/s on the roof of a building that is 30 meters tall. What is its kinetic energy?

klasskru [66]

ans: B

Kinetic energy = $\frac{1}{2} mv^{2}$

= $\frac{1}{2} (4)(5^{2} )$

= 50J

ps. the height will only affect its potential energy, not kinetic.

Let's start with an example from history. Listed below are a series of claims regarding United States President John F. Kennedy

ruslelena [56]

Answer:

Note that both of the falsifiable claims in this example happen to be true. The claim about Kennedy being the 35th President is falsifiable because it can be checked against historical records. The claim that Kennedy died from a bullet in his brain is falsifiable because it could have been shown false by the medical examiner. The remaining claims are not falsifiable: Statements that call on any type of supernatural being are by definition out of the realm of science. Similarly, a claim of something being "undetectable" could not be falsified, and a claim about what Kennedy would have done if he had lived is a conjecture that cannot be disproven.
