Answer:

A rogue wave estimated at 18.3 meters (60 feet) in the Gulf Stream off of Charleston, South Carolina. At the time, surface winds were light at 15 knots.

Explanation:

Rogue, freak, or killer waves have been part of marine folklore for centuries, but have only been accepted as real by scientists over the past few decades.

Rogues, called 'extreme storm waves' by scientists, are those waves which are greater than twice the size of surrounding waves, are very unpredictable, and often come unexpectedly from directions other than prevailing wind and waves.

Most reports of extreme storm waves say they look like "walls of water." They are often steep-sided with unusually deep troughs.

Since these waves are uncommon, measurements and analysis of this phenomenon is extremely rare. Exactly how and when rogue waves form is still under investigation, but there are several known causes:

Constructive interference. Extreme waves often form because swells, while traveling across the ocean, do so at different speeds and directions. As these swells pass through one another, their crests, troughs, and lengths sometimes coincide and reinforce each other. This process can form unusually large, towering waves that quickly disappear. If the swells are travelling in the same direction, these mountainous waves may last for several minutes before subsiding.

Focusing of wave energy. When waves formed by a storm develop in a water current against the normal wave direction, an interaction can take place which results in a shortening of the wave frequency. This can cause the waves to dynamically join together, forming very big 'rogue' waves. The currents where these are sometimes seen are the Gulf Stream and Agulhas current. Extreme waves developed in this fashion tend to be longer lived.

Hope this helps, have a nice day/night! :D

the roque requried to turn the crank on an ice cream maker is 4.50 N.m how much work does it take to turn the crank through 300
Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

the work required to turn the crank at the given revolutions is 8,483.4 J

Explanation:

Given;

torque required to turn the crank, T = 4.50 N.m

number of revolutions, = 300 turns

The work required to turn the crank is given as;

W = 2πT

W = 2 x 3.142 x 4.5

W = 28.278 J

1 revolution = 28.278 J

300 revlotions = ?

= 300 x 28.278 J

= 8,483.4 J

Therefore, the work required to turn the crank at the given revolutions is 8,483.4 J

A guyot is ________. A. any portion of the ocean floor that is topographically higher than surrounding sea floor B. an extinct o
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

c.an extinct oceanic hot-spot volcano that has subsided below sea level

Explanation:

- Marine geology defines a guyot as an isolated underwater volcanic mountain with a flat top more than 200m below the surface of the sea.

-The flat top is due to years of wave erosion.

-Guyots can form a chain of seamounts as the ocean plate of the Earth's crust moves slowly over a hot spot that remains stationary beneath the plate.

6 Fig. 6.1 is a full-scale diagram that represents a sound wave travelling in air
Oxana [17]

From  the measured wavelength from diagram, the frequency of the sound is 6660 Hz.

<h3>What is the frequency of a wave?</h3>

The frequency of a wave is the number of complete oscillation per second completed by a wave.

Frequency is related to wavelength and speed by the following formula:

  • Frequency = velocity/wavelength

Velocity of sound in air = 330 m/s

The measured wavelength = 5.0 cm = 0.05 m

Frequency = 330/0.05 = 6660 Hz

Therefore, based on the measured wavelength from diagram, the frequency of the sound is 6660 Hz.
