A microwave oven emits a microwave with a wavelength of 2.00 × 10^−2 meter in air. Calculate the

1 answer:

3 0

Frequency = (speed) / (wavelength)

The speed of microwave is the same as the speed of TV signals,
X-rays, and heat radiation. We call it the "speed of light".

It's not exactly, but very close to, 3 x 10⁸ m/s, in vacuum or air.

Frequency =

(3 x 10⁸ meter per sec) / (2.0 x 10⁻² meter) =

1.5 x 10¹⁰ per sec = 15 GHz .

Using the information given in the question, this is the answer.
But in the real world, its very inaccurate.

The real wavelength of the radio waves inside the microwave oven is
more like 12 cm, not 2.0 cm. The ovens operate at 2.56 GHz in the US.

Explain whether or not there is any difference between a light ray emitted by a candle flame and one reflected off the cover of

nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

the difference between the two is that the candle forms an emission spectrum and the book an absorption spectrum.

the book it is observed in all directions so that its reflection has to be diffused

Explanation:

The ray of light emitted by a candle is the light generated by the temperature of the flame, which is made up of the emissions of a black body at this temperature plus the emissions of the chemical elements that make up the candle.

The Light reflected from the cover of a book is the same incident light spectrum minus the wavelengths that create transitions in the elements of the cover, these wavelengths will be seen as dark areas.

As a consequence of the above, the difference between the two is that the candle forms an emission spectrum and the book an absorption spectrum.

For the cover of the book form a specular reflection the incident rays are reflected in one direction and the rest would be dark, but in the book it is observed in all directions so that its reflection has to be diffused

A mover uses a ramp to load a crate of nails onto a truck. The crate, which must be lifted 1.5 m from the street to the bed of t

const2013 [10]

Answer: M.A = 3

Explanation:

A ramp is an example of an inclined plain. Where the

Height H = 1.5 m

Length L = 4.5 m

Mechanical advantage of a machine is the ratio of the load to effort. While mechanical advantage M.A of an inclined plain is the ratio of the length of the plain to the height of the plain.

M.A = L/H

Substitute the values of L and H into the formula

M.A = 4.5/1.5 = 3

The mechanical advantage of the ramp is 3

You use a slingshot to launch a potato horizontally from the edge of a cliff with speed v0. The acceleration due to gravity is g

Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

$\displaystyle t=\frac{2v_o}{g}$

Explanation:

<u>Horizontal Launch</u>

When an object is launched horizontally at a speed vo, it describes a curved called parabola as the speed in the x-direction does not change and the speed in the y-direction increases with time because the gravity makes it return to the ground.

The vertical distance the object (potato) travels downwards is:

$\displaystyle y=\frac{gt^2}{2}$

The horizontal distance is

$x=v_ot$

We need to find the time when both distances are equal, thus

$\displaystyle \frac{gt^2}{2}=v_ot$

Simplifying by t

$\displaystyle \frac{gt}{2}=v_o$

Solving for t

$\displaystyle \boxed{t=\frac{2v_o}{g}}$

4. A cylindrical tube has a length of 14.4cm and a radius of 1.5cm and is filled with a colorless gas. If the density of the gas

professor190 [17]

Answer:

Mass, m of gas is 0.2504 grams.

Explanation:

First, we need to solve for the volume of the cylindrical tube.

Volume of cylinder is given by the formula;

$V = 2\Pi r^{2}h$

Where, V represents volume.

π represents pie

r represents radius.

h represents height or length.

Given the following data;

Radius, r = 1.5cm

Length, h = 14.4cm

Density, d = 0.00123g/cm³

Substituting into the equation;

$V = 2 * 3.142 * (1.5)^{2}14.4$

$V = 2 * 3.142 * 2.25 * 14.4$

$V = 203. 6016$

Therefore, the volume of the cylindrical tube is 203. 6016cm³

Density can be defined as mass all over the volume of an object.

Simply stated, density is mass per unit volume of an object.

Mathematically, density is given by the formula;

$Density = \frac{mass}{volume}$

$Mass = density * volume$

Substituting into the equation, we have;

$Mass = 0.00123 * 203. 6016$

Mass = 0.2504g.

Margy is trying to improve her cardio endurance by performing an exercise in which she alternates walking and running 100.0 m ea

madreJ [45]

In order to answer this exercise you need to use the formulas

S = Vo*t + (1/2)*a*t^2

Vf = Vo + at

The data will be given as

Vf = final velocity = ?

Vo = initial velocity = 1.4 m/s

a = acceleration = 0.20 m/s^2

s = displacement = 100m

And now you do the following:

100 = 1.4t + (1/2)*0.2*t^2

t = 25.388s

and

Vf = 1.4 + 0.2(25.388)

Vf = 6.5 m/s

So the answer you are looking for is 6.5 m/s
