Answer:

Answer:

480cm or 0.48m

Explanation:

Given parameter:

Speed of the train = 8cm/s

time of travel = 1minute

Unknown:

Distance traveled = ?

Solution:

Speed is the rate of change of distance with time. This suggests that mathematically;

Speed =

Distance covered = speed x time

Now to solve for the distance;

Convert the time to seconds;

60seconds = 1 minute

Distance covered = 8cm/s x 60s = 480cm

Distance covered is 480cm or 0.48m

Dr Tony Allision hypothesize that the sickle cell disease is connected with malaria. The disease carried by the mosquito is more common in coastal area and near Lake Victoria while it is less common in the highlands. He made a further hypothesis that sickle cell disease is common in areas where malaria is also common.

A camera has a single converging lens with a fixed focal length f. (a) How far should the lens be from the film (or in a present

Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

a) Due to the characteristic that a converging lens focuses light rays from infinity and parallel to its main axis. Therefore, the lens should be placed at a distance "f" from the film, in this way it will form the image of the object placed at infinity in said film.

b) Since the converging lens produces an image of an object placed at a distance of 2f, the lens must be placed at the same distance (2f), so that this object that is placed at a distance of 2f is focused.

local AM radio station broadcasts at a frequency of 685.9 kHz. Calculate the wavelength at which they are broadcasting. Waveleng

natta225 [31]

Answer:

λ = 437 m.

Explanation:

Since a radio wave is a electromagnetic type of wave, it propagates approximately at the same speed of light in vacuum, 3*10⁸ m/s.
As in any wave, there exist a fixed relationship between the propagation speed, the wavelength and the frequency of the radio wave, as follows:

$c = \lambda* f (1)$

Replacing by the values of the speed and the frequency, and solving for the wavelength λ, we get:

$\lambda = \frac{c}{f} =\frac{3e8 m/s}{685.9e31/s} =437 m (2)$
