Mila [183]2 years ago

The frequency of the radio wave is:
f=102.1 MHz = 102.1 \cdot 10^6 Hz

The wavelength of an electromagnetic wave is related to its frequency by the relationship
\lambda= \frac{c}{f}
where c is the speed of light and f the frequency. Plugging numbers into the equation, we find
\lambda= \frac{3 \cdot 10^8 m/s}{102.1 \cdot 10^6 Hz}= 2.94 m
and this is the wavelength of the radio waves in the problem.

A hoop is rolling (without slipping) on a horizontal surface so it has two types of kinetic energy: translational kinetic energy
LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

\dfrac{T}{K}=1

Explanation:

The translational kinetic energy of the hoop is given by :

K=\dfrac{1}{2}Mv^2..................(1)

M is the mass of the hoop

v is the velocity of the hoop

The rotational kinetic energy of the hoop is given by :

T=\dfrac{1}{2}I\omega^2

Since, I=MR^2

\omega=\dfrac{v}{R}

T=\dfrac{1}{2}\times MR^2\times (\dfrac{v}{R})^2..............(2)

From equation (1) and (2) :

\dfrac{T}{K}=1

Therefore, the ratio of the translational kinetic energy to the rotational kinetic energy is 1.

A student throws a 0.22 kg rock horizontally at 20.0 m/s from 10.0 m above the ground. Find the initial kinetic energy of the ro
LekaFEV [45]

Answer:

44J

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of rock  = 0.22kg

Initial velocity  = 20m/s

Distance moved  = 10m

Unknown:

Initial kinetic energy of the rock  = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we need to understand that kinetic energy is the energy due to the motion of a body.

It is mathematically expressed as;

     Kinetic energy  = \frac{1}{2} m v²

m is the mass

v is the velocity

   Kinetic energy  =  \frac{1}{2} x 0.22 x 20²   = 44J

A fish is 80 cm below the surface of a pond. What is the apparent depth (in cm) when viewed from a position almost directly abov
Rudik [331]

Answer:

Apparent depth (Da) = 60.15 cm (Approx)

Explanation:

Given:

Distance from fish (D) = 80 cm

Find:

Apparent depth (Da)

Computation:

We know that,

Refractive index of water (n2) = 1.33

So,

Apparent depth (Da) = D(n1/n2)

Apparent depth (Da) = 80 (1/1.33)

Apparent depth (Da) = 60.15 cm (Approx)

An aluminum rod and a nickel rod are both 5.00 m long at 20.0 degree Celsius. The temperature of each is raised to 70.0 degrees
vitfil [10]

Answer:

0.002925 m

Explanation:

Lt = LO(1 +α Δt ) here Lt is total length Lo is original length α is coefficient of linear expansion and Δt is change in temperature

<h2>for aluminium</h2>

α=25×10^-6

Lt = 5(1+25×10^-6×(70-20))

Lt = 5 (1+25×10^-6×50)

Lt = 5 ( 1+0.00125)

Lt = 5×1.00125

Lt =5.00625 m

<h2>for nickel </h2>

α=13.3×10^-6

Lt =5(1+13.3×10^-6×50)

Lt = 5(1+0.000665)

Lt =5.003325 m

hence difference in length =5.00625-5.003325

                                           = 0.002925 m

If vx=9.80 units and vy=-6.40 units, determine the magnitude and direction of v
dexar [7]
The resultant vector can be determined by the component vectors. The component vectors are vector lying along the x and y-axes. The equation for the resultant vector, v is:

v = √(vx² + vy²)
v = √[(9.80)² + (-6.40)²]
v = √137 or 11.7 units
