A microwave oven operates at 2.60 ghz . what is the wavelength of the radiation produced by this appliance?
cestrela7 [59]
<span>10.3 cm The wavelength will be the distance that light travels in 1 second divided by the frequency of the radiation. Since the over operates at 2.60 ghz, the frequence is 2.6 billion times per second, or 2.60 x 10^9. The speed of light is defined as 299792458 m/s exactly. So 299792458 m/s / 2.60 x 10^9 1/s = 0.10337671 m = 10.337671 cm Since we only have 3 significant digits, the answer rounds to 10.3 cm</span>

The resistivity of a silver wire with a radius of 5.04 × 10–4 m is 1.59 × 10–8 ω · m. if the length of the wire is 3.00 m, what
Alexxx [7]
<span>5.98 x 10^-2 ohms. Resistance is defined as: R = rl/A where R = resistance in ohms r = resistivity (given as 1.59x10^-8) l = length of wire. A = Cross sectional area of wire. So plugging into the formula, the known values, including the area of a circle being pi*r^2, gives: R = 1.59x10^-8 * 3.00 / (pi * (5.04 x 10^-4)^2) R = (4.77 x 10^-8) / (pi * 2.54016 x 10 ^-7) R = (4.77 x 10^-8) / (7.98015 x 10^-7) R = 5.98 x 10^-2 ohms So that wire has a resistance of 5.98 x 10^-2 ohms.</span>

An electric toaster is rated 1200 watts at 120 volts. what is the total electrical energy used to operate the toaster for 30 sec
Anarel [89]
Energy is calculated as power*time, so give the wattage of 1200 W (equivalent to 1200 Joules/second) and time of 30 seconds, multiplying these gives 36000 J or 36 kJ of electrical energy.

If electrical charge or current is needed: Power = voltage * current, so given the power of 1200 watts and voltage of 120 V, current is 1200 W / 120 V = 10 Amperes. Charge is calculated by multiplying 10 A*30 s = 300 C.

A shuttle on Earth has a mass of 4.5 E 5 kg. Compare its weight on Earth to its weight while in orbit at a height of 6.3 E 5 met
faltersainse [42]

Answer:

83%

Explanation:

On the surface, the weight is:

W = GMm / R²

where G is the gravitational constant, M is the mass of the Earth, m is the mass of the shuttle, and R is the radius of the Earth.

In orbit, the weight is:

w = GMm / (R+h)²

where h is the height of the shuttle above the surface of the Earth.

The ratio is:

w/W = R² / (R+h)²

w/W = (R / (R+h))²

Given that R = 6.4×10⁶ m and h = 6.3×10⁵ m:

w/W = (6.4×10⁶ / 7.03×10⁶)²

w/W = 0.83

The shuttle in orbit retains 83% of its weight on Earth.
