<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>
Answer:
a. 1.64 m/s²
Explanation:
Centripetal acceleration is the square of tangential velocity divided by the radius.
a = v²/r
First, convert km/h to m/s.
30.0 km/h (1000 m/km) (1 h / 3600 s) = 8.33 m/s
Find the acceleration.
a = (8.33 m/s)² / (42.4 m)
a = 1.64 m/s²
Answer:
KE = 10530 J or 10.53 KJ
Explanation:
The formula for kinetic energy is KE = 1/2 mv^2
Let's apply the formula:
KE = 1/2 mv^2
KE = 1/2 (65kg) (18m/s)^2
KE = 10530 J or 10.53 KJ
