Chapter 45.1, Problem 2TYK
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Wave is a disturbance of one or more fields in the equilibrium system. Waves are created by the energy passing through water bodies and causing it circular motions. Winds create waves, which can range in size. As the wind blows, friction between the air and water create small ripples, Once ripples have formed, waves may increase in size.

- Manipogo is a legendary monster said to live in the midst of Lake Manitoba. Manipogo starts swimming from the beach in Sandy Bay and wants to reach Oak Point on the other shore, directly to the east. Manipogo can swim with a speed of 12.0 knots (or 12.0 nautical miles per hour) relative to the water. However, due to the wind there is a current from the southeast to the northwest with a speed of 8.0 knots relative to the ground. How many hours does it take Manipogo to traverse the 22.0 nautical miles due eastarrow_forwardA wastewater treatment plant discharges of effluent into a stream.

- Another motion of surface water are ocean currents. Ocean currents are like rivers of water moving through other seawater. These can also be caused by prevailing winds. The worldwide prevailing winds causing great circular moving water in the ocean called gyres. Another type of current is caused by the waves washing up on the shore at an angle, but the water then running back down the shore in a straight line. So you have this process of water going up onto the shore at an angle and then straight back down the face of the shore. Resulting in the water moving along the shore in a zig-zag pattern. As this is repeated thousands of times a day, the effect is a current (movement of water) is formed that moves parallel to the shoreline. This current is called a longshore current. There is another current that runs along the coast of California called the California current. An amazing animal travels along this current during its annual migration. In the fall, this animal travels from its…arrow_forwardDescribe the characteristics of the California Current? What type of current is it?
