Answer:

Because as the waves propagates, the particles of the medium (molecules of water) vibrates perpendicularly (upward and downward) about their mean position and not in the direction of the waves.

Explanation:

A wave is a phenomena which causes a disturbance in a medium without any permanent deformation to the medium. Examples are; transverse wave and longitudinal wave. Waves transfer energy from one point in the medium to another.

The waves generated by water are transverse waves. Which are waves in which the vibrations of the particles of the medium is perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the waves.

Thus as the waves propagates, the molecules of water vibrates up and down and not along the direction of propagation of the waves. So that the floating objects do not get pushed in the direction of the waves every time.

GarryVolchara [31]

Power can be defined as the rate at which work is accomplished.

Option D is the correct answer.

<h3></h3><h3>Power </h3>

The work done by an object in a given time interval is called the power of that object.

Suppose an external force F is applied to any object for the time interval T seconds. Due to this external force, the object will perform some amount of work for the time T seconds. This work W done by the object for the time interval T seconds is called the power of that object.

Power can be defined in mathematical term which is given below.

P = \dfrac {W}{T} \;\rm Watts

Thus the power can also be defined as the work done by the object per unit time interval.

Hence we can conclude that option D is the correct answer.

To know more about power, follow the link given below.

An electromagnetic wave of intensity 150 W/m2 is incident normally on a rectangular black card with sides of 25 cm and 30 cm tha
LenKa [72]

Answer:

3.75 × 10⁻⁸ N

Explanation:

Given:

Intensity of the electromagnetic wave, I = 150 W/m²

Sides of the board = 25 cm (= 0.25 m) and 30 cm (= 0.30 m)

therefore,

the area of the rectangular box, A = 0.25 × 0.30 = 0.075 m²

Now,

force exerted on the card by the radiation, F = \frac{IA}{C}

here,

C is the speed of the light = 3 × 10⁸ m/s

on substituting the respective values, we get

F = \frac{150\times0.075}{3\times10^8}

or

F = 3.75 × 10⁻⁸ N

This problem follows up on a discussion from lecture. A wind turbine with an efficiency of 45% for converting wind energy into e
Volgvan

Answer:

4.1 m

Explanation:

10 kW = 10000 W

20mi/h = 20*1.6 km/mi = 32 km/h = 32 * 1000 (m/km) *(1/3600) hr/s = 8.89 m/s

The power yielded by the wind turbine can be calculated using the following formula

P = \frac{1}{2} \rho v^3 A C_p

where \rho = 1.2 kg/m^3 is the air density, v = 8.89 m/s is the wind speed, A is the swept area and C_p = 0.45 is the efficiency

10000 = 0.5 * 1.2 * 8.89^3 * A * 0.45

10000 = 190A

A = 10000 / 190 = 52.7 m^2

The swept area is a circle with radius r being the blade length

\pi r^2 = A = 52.7

r^2 = 52.7 / \pi = 16.79

r = \sqrt{16.79} = 4.1 m
