Give some examples of why it is important to understand how ocean currents flow

Physics
1 answer:
lawyer [7]3 years ago
3 0

Explanation:

Winds, water density, and tides all drive ocean currents. Coastal and sea floor features influence their location, direction, and speed. Earth's rotation results in the Coriolis Effect which also influences ocean currents

Natalija [7]

Answer: 7022.2kg/m³, yes, I was cheated

Explanation:

Density of an object is defined as the ratio of the mass of the object to its volume. Mathematically;

Density = Mass/Volume

Note that the unit of both mass and volume must be standard unit.

Given mass = 0.0158kg

Dimension of the metal = 5mm×15mm×30mm

Note that 1mm = 0.001m

The volume of the metal will be

0.005×0.015×0.03

= 0.00000225m³

Density = 0.0158/0.00000225

Average density of the metal = 7022.2kg/m³

Since the standard density of Gold is 19,320kg/m³ and is higher than the density prescribed for me, it shows the I was cheated.

VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

ΔX = λ = 0.68 m

Explanation:

Wave speed is related to wavelength and frequency by the equation

          v = λ f

where the speed of sound is 340 m / s

          λ = v / f

          λ = 340/500

          λ = 0.68 m

this is the wavelength, it is the minimum distance for which the wave epitates its movement, which is equal to the distance between two consecutive compressions of the sound

          ΔX = λ = 0.68 m

How are the spiral arms of the milky way detected?
Step2247 [10]
The spiral structure emerges when galactic clusters (open), H II regions and O & B type stars (young stars) are used as tracers. We know this to be true as other pinwheel galaxies exhibit the same patterns across these tracers as in the milky way.
