What three factors control the path of a surface current

Physics
1 answer:
KATRIN_1 [288]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Surface currents are controlled by three factors: global winds, the Coriolis effect, and continental deflections. surface create surface currents in the ocean. Different winds cause currents to flow in different directions. objects from a straight path due to the Earth's rotation.

A mass of 1 slug, when attached to a spring, stretches it 2 feet and then comes to rest in the equilibrium position. Starting at
Vesna [10]

Answer:

Y=(\dfrac{3}{16}+t \dfrac{3}{8})e^{-2t}-\dfrac{3}{16}cos 4t

Explanation:

Given that m= 1 slug and given that spring stretches by 2 feet so we can find the spring constant K

mg=k x

1 x 32= k x 2

K=16

And also give that damping force is 8 times the velocity so damping constant C=8.

We know that equation for spring mass system

my''+Cy'+Ky=F

Now by putting the values

1 y"+8 y'+ 16y=6 cos 4 t ----(1)

The general solution of equation Y=CF+IP

Lets assume that at steady state the equation of y will be

y(IP)=A cos 4t+ B sin 4t

To find the constant A and B we have to compare this equation with equation 1.

Now find y' and y" (by differentiate with respect to t)

y'= -4A sin 4t+4B cos 4t

y"=-16A cos 4t-16B sin 4t

Now put the values of y" , y' and y in equation 1

1 (-16A cos 4t-16B sin 4t)+8( -4A sin 4t+4B cos 4t)+16(A cos 4t+ B sin 4t)=6sin4 t

So by comparing the coefficient both sides

-16A+32B+16A=0  So B=0

-16 B-32 A+16B=6  So A=-3/16

y=-3/16 cos 4t

Now to find the CF  of differential equation 1

y"+8 y'+ 16y=6 cos 4 t

Homogeneous version of above equation

m^2+8m+16=0

So CF =(C_1+tC_2)e^{-2t}

So the general equation

Y=(C_1+tC_2)e^{-2t}-3/16 cos 4t

Given that t=0 Y=0 So

C_1=\dfrac{3}{16}

t=0 Y'=0 So

C_2 =\dfrac{3}{8}

Y=(\dfrac{3}{16}+t \dfrac{3}{8})e^{-2t}-\dfrac{3}{16}cos 4t

The above equation is the general equation for motion.

When you are sitting a few feet from a fire, your skin feels warm. What forms of heat transfer are acting to transfer heat from
algol [13]
<span>In the question,' when you are sitting a few feet from the fire, your skin feels warmed. What form of heat transfer are acting to transfer heat from the fire to your skin, the correct option is A, that is, convection and radiation. Heat transfer is defined as the exchange of thermal energy between physical systems. The rate at which the heat is transfer depends on the temprature of the system and the properties of the intervening medium through which the heat is been transfered. There are three basic modes of heat transfer, these are: conduction, convection and radiation. Conduction is defined as the transfer of heat between two bodies through physical contact. When two bodies which have different temprature come in contact, there will be a transfer of heat energy between them until the two of them have the same temprature. Conduction usually occurs in solids and liquids; it occurs in gases also but it is extremely slow. Convection is the process by which heat is transfer in fluids, that is, liquids and gases. This is how convection operates: when a fluid is heated, it expands and it becomes lighter, this makes it to rise upward and move to the cooler part of the container, as it rises, it will be replaced by the unheated surrounding particles. This cycle continues until heat is evenly distributed all through the fluid. There are two types of convection: natural and forced convection. The heating of the earth surface by the sun ray is an example of natural convection while the air conditioner we use at home operates by mean of forced convection. Both conduction and convection require matter for heat transfer. Radiation is the transfer of heat from one place to another through electromagnetic waves. The hot body transfer heat by emitting electromagnetic waves. The properties of the electromagnetic waves depend on the temperature of the body. The higher the temperature the more intense the rate of emission of radiation. Radiation can occur in all objects and does not require matter for heat transfer. The heat of the sun reaches the earth surface by means of radiation. In the question given, as the air surrounding the fire were heated they rise and were replaced by the unheated air particles. The continuation of this cycle makes the heat energy to be transferred to the objects around. Thus, the heat from the fire was transferred via convection and radiation. </span>
