Radio waves travel at a speed of 1.7 times 10^8 m/s through ice. A radio wave pulse sent into the Antarctic ice reflects off the

rock at the bottom and returns to the surface in 32.9 times 10^-6 s. Part A How deep is the ice? Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.

The values with (1/2)(9.8 m/s2) (4 - X)^2 = (1.7 × 10^8 m/s) (X) —> We discover with the calculator X = 4.40 × 10^-7. The depth of the ice is then calculated by multiplying by the speed 74.8 m. Through ice, radio waves move at a speed of 1.7 x 108 m/s.

What is radio waves?

A radio wave pulse that is delivered into the Antarctic ice returns after reflecting off the bottom rock. A radio wave pulse that is transmitted into the Antarctic ice bounces off the subsurface rock and resurfaces. ice in Antarctica Through ice, radio waves move at a speed of 1.7 108 m/s. The rock reflects the radio wave pulse that was transmitted into the Antarctic ice. The amount of time that passed between the signal being sent and being received by the earth station.

A boy and a girl are on a spinning merry-go-round. The boy is at a radial distance of 1.2 m from the central axis; the girl is a
Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

E) True. The girl has a larger tangential acceleration than the boy.

Explanation:

In this exercise they do not ask us to say which statement is correct, for this we propose the solution to the problem.

Angular and linear quantities are related

          v = w r

          a = α r

the boy's radius is r₁ = 1.2m the girl's radius is r₂ = 1.8m

as the merry-go-round rotates at a constant angular velocity this is the same for both, but the tangential velocity is different

          v₁ = w 1,2 (boy)

          v₂ = w 1.8 (girl)

whereby

          v₂> v₁

reviewing the claims we have

          a₁ = α 1,2

          a₂ = α 1.8

          a₂> a₁

A) False. Tangential velocity is different from zero

B) False angular acceleration is the same for both

C) False. It is the opposite, according to the previous analysis

D) False. Angular acceleration is equal

E) True. You agree with the analysis above,

If a ball has a velocity of 18 m/s, how far does it travel in 15 seconds
Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

The answer is

<h2>270 m</h2>

Explanation:

To find the distance when given the velocity and time we use the formula

<h3>distance = velocity × time</h3>

From the question

velocity of the ball = 18 m/s

time = 15 s

So the distance is

distance = 18 × 15

We have the final answer as

<h3>270 m</h3>

Hope this helps you

A 9V battery produces a 1.5A current in a piece of wire. What is the resistance of the wire?
MAVERICK [17]

Explanation:

Using Ohm's Law and a bit of substitution, we can use voltage divided by current to solve for resistance. Doing that, we'll get 6 Ohm.

The focal length of a lens is inversely proportional to the quantity (n-1), where n is the index of refraction of the lens of th
Ainat [17]

Answer:

46.22 cm

Explanation:

The focal refraction, fr is given by

fr = \frac {c}{(1.572 -1)}  = \frac {c}{0 .572}  

The focal red light is given by

fv = \frac {c}{(1.605 - 1)} = \frac {c}{0.605}

\frac {fv}{fr} = \frac {0.572}{0 .605} = 0.945455

\frac {1}{fr} = \frac{1}{image} + \frac {1}{object} and making fr the subject we obtain

fr = \frac {image * object}{(image + object)} = \frac {24.00 * 55} {(24.0 + 55)} = 16.70886 cm

fv = 0.945455* 16.70886 cm = 15.79747 cm

image = \frac {object * f} {(object - f)} = \frac {15.79747 * 24.0}{(24.0 - 15.79747)} = 46.22222 cm

Therefore, violet image is approximately 46.22 cm

An emission ray has a frequency of 5.10 × 10¹Ê Hz. Given that the speed of light is 2.998 × 10§ m/s, what is the wavelength of t
scoundrel [369]
The answer is 5.88 · 10⁻⁷<span> m.</span>

To calculate this we will use the light equation:

v = λ · f,
where:
v - the speed of light (units: m/s)
<span>λ - the wavelength of the ray (units: m)
</span>f - the frequency of the ray (units: Hz = 1/s <span>since Hz means cycles per second (f=1/T))
</span>
It is given:
f = 5.10 · 10¹⁴ Hz = 5.10 · 10¹⁴<span> 1/s
v = 2.998 </span>· 10⁸<span> m/s
</span><span>λ = ?
</span>
If v = λ · f, then λ = v ÷ f:
λ = 2.998 · 10⁸ m/s ÷ 5.10 · 10¹⁴ 1/s
   = 0.588 · 10⁸⁻¹⁴ · m
   = 0.588 · 10⁻⁶ m
   = 5.88 · 10⁻⁷ m
