<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>

A kettle of water contains 1.2 kg of water. Calculate how much energy is required to hear it from water at 10 degrees to its boi
Darya [45]

Answer:

450 kJ

Explanation:

Q = mCΔT

where Q is heat (energy),

m is mass,

C is specific heat capacity,

and ΔT is the temperature change.

Q = (1.2 kg) (4180 J/kg/°C) (100°C − 10°C)

Q = 451,440 J

Q ≈ 450 kJ

A penny is dropped from the Statue of Liberty
Brrunno [24]

Answer:

a) The velocity is 2.94m/s

b) 0.441

Explanation:

a) Assume gravity is 9.8m/s^2

Use the equation below to solve for the velocity at 0.30 seconds

vf=vi+at,

vf =unknown velocity  vi= initial velocity vi=0m/s  a= 9.8m/s^2 t=0.30seconds

Step 1: Substitute the variables with the knowns

vf=0m/s+(9.8m/s^2)*0.30seconds

Step 2: Solve

vf=2.94m/s

b)

Use the equation below to solve for the displacement at 0.30 seconds

x=vit+\frac{1}{2} at^{2}

Step 1: Substitute the same variables with the knowns

x=\frac{1}{2}*(9.8m/s^2)*(0.30seconds)^{2}

Note that vi*t=0 as vi=0m/s

Step 2: Solve

x=0.441m

In an experiment you measure a first-order red line for Hydrogen at an angle difference of ΔΘ = 22.78o. The diffraction grating
azamat

Answer:

a) wavelength = 656.3 nm

b)  the value of Rydberg's constant for this measurement is 1.097 × 10⁷ m⁻¹

Explanation:

Given that;

angle of diffraction Θₓ = 22.78°

incident angle Θ₁ = 0

slit separation d  = 5900 lines per cm = 1/5900 cm = 10⁻²/5900 m = 0.01/5900 m

order of diffraction n = 1

wavelength λ = ?

to find the wavelength, we use the expression

λ = d (sinΘ₁ + sinΘₓ) / n

To find the wavelength λ;

λ = 0.01/5900 × (sin0 + sin22.78° )

λ = 6.5626 × 10⁻⁷ m

λ = 656.3 x 10⁻⁹ m

∴ λ = 656.3 nm

b)

According Balnur's  series spectral lines; n₁ = 3, n₂ = 2 and

λ = R [ 1/n₂² - 1/n₁²]

where  R is Rydberg's constant

from λ = R [ 1/n₂² - 1/n₁²]

R = 1/λ [n₂²n₁² / n₁² - n₂²]

R = 10⁹/ 656.3 [ 9 × 4 / 9 - 4 ]

R = 1.097 × 10⁷ m⁻¹

Therefore the value of Rydberg's constant for this measurement is 1.097 × 10⁷ m⁻¹
