Rogue waves in the ocean were considered a myth for a very long time, fanciful and fabricated tales of fishermen too long in the

Answer:

D. Constructive Interference of waves

Explanation:

Rogue waves occur when wave forms arrive suddenly in oceans, thus causing ships to sink within a very short time. The explanation scientists have for this is constructive interference magnified by second-order bound non-linearities. Waves are meant to arrive in a particular direction. During constructive interference, these waves arrive from different directions and in an organized way thus increasing the height of the wave.

This increased height is as a result of the waves not being in a linear form and having sharp peaks. There is also a significant difference between the crests and troughs. Scientists arrived at this explanation for the rogue waves though three experiments conducted in 1997, 2007, and 2015.

An instructor wishes to determine the wavelength of the light in a laser beam. To do so, she directs the beam toward a partition
Rus_ich [418]

Answer:

λ = 623.2 nm

Explanation:

We are given;

separation distance; d = 0.195 mm = 0.195 × 10^(-3) m

interference pattern distance; D = 4.85 m

Width of two adjacent bright interference; w = 1.55 cm = 1.55 × 10^(-2) m

Formula for fringe width is given as;

w = λD/d

Where λ is wavelength

Thus;

λ = dw/D

λ = (0.195 × 10^(-3) × 1.55 × 10^(-2))/4.85

λ = 0.0000006232 m

Converting to nm gives;

λ = 623.2 nm

A 600 kg car is at rest, and then accelerates to 5 m/s.
Crank

Answer:

0

7500J

7500J

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of car  = 600kg

Velocity  = 5m/s

Unknown:

Original kinetic energy  = ?

Final kinetic energy  = ?

Work used  = ?

Solution:

The kinetic energy of a body is the energy due to the motion of a body.

It can be solve mathematically using expression below;

                K.E  = \frac{1}{2}  m v²

  where m is mass

              v is velocity

original kinetic energy;

  The car started at rest and v = 0, therefore K.E  = 0

Final kinetic energy;

           K.E  = \frac{1}{2}  x 600 x 5²   = 7500J

Work done:

   Work done  = Final K.E  - Initial K.E  = 7500 - 0 = 7500J
