A microwave oven operates at 2.60 ghz . what is the wavelength of the radiation produced by this appliance?

1 answer:

8 0

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

A bee wants to fly to a flower located due North of the hive on a windy day. The wind blows from East to West at speed 6.68 m/s.

Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer: $53.31\°$ East of North

Explanation:

We have the following data:

Speed of the wind from East to West: $6.68 m/s$

Speed of the bee relative to the air: $8.33 m/s$

If we graph these speeds (which in fact are velocities because are vectors) in a vector diagram, we will have a right triangle in which the airspeed of the bee (its speed relative to te air) is the hypotense and the two sides of the triangle will be the Speed of the wind from East to West (in the horintal part) and the speed due North relative to the ground (in the vertical part).

Now, we need to find the direction the bee should fly directly to the flower (due North):

$sin \theta=\frac{Windspeed-from-East-to-West}{Speed-bee-relative-to-air}$

$sin \theta=\frac{6.68 m/s}{8.33 m/s}$

Clearing $\theta$ :

$\theta=sin^{-1} (\frac{6.68 m/s}{8.33 m/s})$

$\theta=53.31\°$

A man holding 7N weight moves 7m horizontal and 5m vertical , find the work done

SashulF [63]

Answer:

35 J

Explanation:

The man is holding the box: this means that he is applying a force vertically upward, to balance the weight of the box (which pushes downward).

Therefore, we can ignore the horizontal displacement of the man, because the force applied (vertically upward) is perpendicular to that displacement (horizontal), so the work done for that is zero.

So, only the vertical motion contributes to the work. The work done by the man is equal to the gain in gravitational potential energy of the box, so:

$W=(mg)\Delta h$
