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 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

The angular velocity of a flywheel obeys the equa tion w(1) A Br2, where t is in seconds and A and B are con stants having numer
makkiz [27]

Answer:

A \to rad/s

B  \to rad/s^3

Explanation:

\omega_z(t)=A + Bt^2

Required

The units of A and B

From the question, we understand that:

\omega_z(t) \to rad/s

This implies that each of A and Bt^2 will have the same unit as \omega_z(t)

So, we have:

A \to rad/s

Bt^2 \to rad/s

The unit of t is (s); So, the expression becomes

B * s^2 \to rad/s

Divide both sides by s^2

B  \to \frac{rad/s}{s^2}

B  \to rad/s^3
