Heat is a common form or primary source of energy that can come from solar radiation or from deep earth or from volcanoes

Answer:

The ocean surface currents are mainly generated due to the wind that blows over the ocean and density differences in the water. In simple words, these surface currents are formed due to the global wind systems that are facilitated by the energy from the sun.

There are various factors that control the pattern of surface currents in the oceans, which include the Coriolis force, the prevailing wind blowing direction, and also the location of various types of landforms near the ocean bodies that continuously interact the water currents.

Thus, the sun is the most common source of energy for the creation of surface currents.

A simple pendulum 2 m long swings through a maximum angle of 30 ∘ with the vertical. part a calculate its period assuming a smal
victus00 [196]

Length of the pendulum (l) = 2 m

Acceleration due to gravity = g = 9.8 m/s^2

For small amplitude, the pendulum will undergo simple harmonic motion.

Hence, the time period of the pendulum for small amplitude = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{l}{g} }

Now, plug the values of l and g

T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{2}{9.8} }

T = 2 × 3.14 × 0.451

T = 2.83 seconds

Hence, the time period of the pendulum for small amplitude = 2.83 s

All of the following could cause diffraction except
elena-s [515]

<u>Answer</u>

Another wave


<u>Explanation</u>

Diffraction is the is the change of direction of a wave due to an obstacle or an opening in the media. It results in to a disturbance.

It occurs when a wave goes through a gap or meets a barrier in a media such as a small island, a large ship or a protruding rock.

The correct answer is another ship.
