Ahuman wave. during sporting events within large, densely packed stadiums, spectators will send a wave (or pulse) around the stadium (fig. 16-29). as the wave reaches a group of spectators, they stand with a cheer and then sit. at any instant, the width w of the wave is the distance from the leading edge (people are just about to stand) to the trailing edge (people have just sat down). suppose a human wave travels a distance of 853 seats around a stadium in 39 s, with spectators requiring about 1.8 s to respond to the wave’s passage by standing and then sitting. what are (a) the wave speed v (in seats per second) and (b) width w (in number of seats)?

Which statements describe the movement of ocean currents around the globe? check all that apply. strong winds force warm water to sink to the ocean floor. the coriolis effect causes warm and cold water to mix. cool dense water sinks to the ocean floor. warm water replaces cool surface water. wind blowing parallel to the shore causes upwelling of cool water.
