Why are ocean currents important?

Lelu [443]

For the considerably longer periods– decades to millennia – which are relevant for climate change, the slightly larger heat capacity of the deep ocean is important. Ocean currents and mixing by winds and waves can transport and redistribute heat to deeper ocean layers.

slader the cross section of a 5-ft long trough is an isosceles trapezoid with a 2 foot lower base, a 3-foot upper base, and an a

Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

0.08 ft/min

Explanation:

To get the speed at witch the water raising at a given point we need to know the area it needs to fill at that point in the trough (the longitudinal section), which is given by the height at that point.

So we need to get the lenght of the sides for a height of 1 foot. Given the geometry of the trough, one side is the depth d and the other (lets call it l) is given by:

$l=\frac{3-2}{2}\,ft+2\,ft\\l=2.5\,ft$

since the difference between the upper and lower base is the increase in the base and we are only at halft the height.

Now we can calculate the longitudinal section A at that point:

$A=d\times l\\A=5\,ft \times 2.5\, ft\\A=12.5\, ft^{2}$

And the raising speed v of the water is given by:

$v=\frac{q}{A}\\v=\frac{1\, \frac{ft^3}{min}}{12.5\, ft^2}\\v=0.08\, \frac{ft}{min}$

where q is the water flow (1 cubic foot per minute).

Explanation:

If I were to send a message to my brother in Florida, through the internet, while I'm in Pennsylvania he would get it in minutes. On the other hand if I were going to meet him and then explain what I wanted to tell him in person it would take a much longer time.
