The formula for calculating velocity of wave is expressed as

v = fλ

where

v = velocity of the wave

λ = wavelength

f = frequency of the wave

From the information given,

v = 340

f = 502

Substituting these values into the formula, we have

340 = 502λ

Dividing both sides of the equation by 502,

340/502 = 502λ/502

λ = 0.68 m

The wavelength is 0.68 m

A racing car reaches a speed of 42 m/s. It then begins a uniform negative acceleration, using its parachute and braking system,

NARA [144]

As per the question the initial speed of the car [ u] is 42 m/s.

The car applied its brake and comes to rest after 5.5 second.

The final velocity [v] of the car will be zero.

From the equation of kinematics we know that

$v=u+at$ [ here a stands for acceleration]

$0=42 +5.5a$

$a =\frac{-42}{5.5} m/s^2$

$a= -7.64 m/s^2$

Here a is taken negative as it the car is decelerating uniformly.

We are asked to calculate the stopping distance .

From equation of kinematics we know that

$S=ut+\frac{1}{2} at^2$ [here S is the distance]

$= 42*5.5 +\frac{1}{2} [-7.64] [5.5]^2 m$

$=115.445 m$ [ans]

A unit of area, often used in measuring land areas, is the "hectare", defined as 104 m2. An open-pit coal mine consumes 72 hecta

lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

0.018 km³

Explanation:

Area of land

$A=72\times 10^4\ m^2$

D = Depth of land = 25 m

Volume is given by

$V=AD\\\Rightarrow V=72\times 10^4\times 25\\\Rightarrow V=18000000\ m^3$

Converting to cubic kilometers

$1\ m=\dfrac{1}{1000}\ km$

$1\ m^3=\dfrac{1}{1000^3}\ km^3$

$18000000\ m^3=18000000\times \dfrac{1}{1000^3}=0.018\ km^3$

The volume of Earth removed is 0.018 km³

erma4kov [3.2K]

The gravitational force is a balance between centripetal and centrifugal force that keeps the planets in their orbits when they are in motion. The gravitational force is a factor of the masses of the Earth and moon and the distance between them. If there were no gravitational force, the moon would stay out of the circular path and follow the direction as shown in the picture.
