Answer:

a). 100.2 MHz (typical frequency for FM radio broadcasting)

The wavelength of a frequency of 100.2 Mhz is 2.99m.

b. 1070 kHz (typical frequency for AM radio broadcasting) (assume four significant figures)

The wavelength of a frequency of 1070 khz is 280.3 m.

c. 835.6 MHz (common frequency used for cell phone communication)

The wavelength of a frequency of 835.6 Mhz is 0.35m.

Explanation:

The wavelength can be determined by the following equation:

c = \lambda \cdot \nu  (1)

Where c is the speed of light, \lambda is the wavelength and \nu is the frequency.  

Notice that since it is electromagnetic radiation, equation 1 can be used. Remember that light propagates in the form of an electromagnetic wave.

<em>a). 100.2 MHz (typical frequency for FM radio broadcasting)</em>

Then, \lambda can be isolated from equation 1:

\lambda = \frac{c}{\nu} (2)

since the value of c is 3x10^{8}m/s. It is necessary to express the frequency in units of hertz.

\nu = 100.2 MHz . \frac{1x10^{6}Hz}{1MHz} ⇒ 100200000Hz

But 1Hz = s^{-1}

\nu = 100200000s^{-1}

Finally, equation 2 can be used:

\lambda = \frac{3x10^{8}m/s}{100200000s^{-1}}

\lambda = 2.99 m

Hence, the wavelength of a frequency of 100.2 Mhz is 2.99m.

<em>b. 1070 kHz (typical frequency for AM radio broadcasting) (assume four significant figures)</em>

<em> </em>

\nu = 1070kHz . \frac{1000Hz}{1kHz} ⇒ 1070000Hz

But  1Hz = s^{-1}

\nu = 1070000s^{-1}

Finally, equation 2 can be used:

\lambda = \frac{3x10^{8}m/s}{1070000s^{-1}}

\lambda = 280.3 m

Hence, the wavelength of a frequency of 1070 khz is 280.3 m.

<em>c. 835.6 MHz (common frequency used for cell phone communication) </em>

\nu = 835.6MHz . \frac{1x10^{6}Hz}{1MHz} ⇒ 835600000Hz

But  1Hz = s^{-1}

\nu = 835600000s^{-1}

Finally, equation 2 can be used:

\lambda = \frac{3x10^{8}m/s}{835600000s^{-1}}

\lambda = 0.35 m

Hence, the wavelength of a frequency of 835.6 Mhz is 0.35m.

A longitudinal wave is observed. Exactly 6 crests are observed
valentinak56 [21]
The speed of the wave is 1.58 meters per second (or 1.584 if you don’t round it).
You multiply wavelength by frequency to get the speed of a wave.
2.4 times 0.66 = 1.548 meters per second.

If you didn’t have the frequency before hand, you would just divide the 6 crests by the 9.1 seconds.

A person in a kayak starts paddling, and it accelerates from 0 to 0.65 m/s in a distance of 0.40 m. If the combined mass of the
SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

Magnitude of the net force acting on the kayak = 39.61 N

Explanation:

Considering motion of kayak:-

Initial velocity, u =  0 m/s

Distance , s = 0.40 m

Final velocity, v = 0.65 m/s

We have equation of motion v² = u² + 2as

Substituting

   v² = u² + 2as

    0.65² = 0² + 2 x a x 0.4

    a = 0.53 m/s²

We have force, F  = ma

Mass, m = 75 kg

    F  = ma = 75 x 0.53 = 39.61 N

Magnitude of the net force acting on the kayak = 39.61 N

A 62-kg person jumps from a window to a fire net 20.0 m directly below, which stretches the net 1.4 m. Assume that the net behav
gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

a) x = 0.098

b) x = 2.72 m

Explanation:

(a) To find the stretch of the fire net when the same person is lying in it, you can assume that the net is like a spring with constant spring k. It is necessary to find k.

When the person is falling down he acquires a kinetic energy K, this energy is equal to the elastic potential energy of the net when it is max stretched.

Then, you have:

K=U\\\\\frac{1}{2}mv^2=\frac{1}{2}kx^2        (1)

m: mass of the person = 62kg

k: spring constant = ?

v: velocity of the person just when he touches the fire net = ?

x: elongation of the fire net = 1.4 m

Before the calculation of the spring constant, you calculate the final velocity of the person by using the following formula:

v^2=v_o^2+2gy

vo: initial velocity = 0 m/s

g: gravitational acceleration = 9.8 m/s^2

y: height from the person jumps = 20.0m

v=\sqrt{2gy}=\sqrt{2(9.8m/s^2)(20.0m)}=14\frac{m}{s}

With this value you can find the spring constant k from the equation (1):

mv^2=kx^2\\\\k=\frac{mv^2}{x^2}=\frac{(62kg)(14m/s)^2}{(1.4m)^2}=6200\frac{N}{m}

When the person is lying on the fire net the weight of the person is equal to the elastic force of the fire net:

W=F_e\\\\mg=kx

you solve the last expression for x:

x=\frac{mg}{k}=\frac{(62kg)(9.8m/s^2)}{6200N/m}=0.098m

When the person is lying on the fire net the elongation of the fire net is 0.098m

b) To find how much would the net stretch, If the person jumps from 38 m, you first calculate the final velocity of the person again:

v=\sqrt{2gy}=\sqrt{2(9.8m/s^2)(38m)}=27.29\frac{m}{s}

Next, you calculate x from the equation (1):

x=\sqrt{\frac{mv^2}{k}}=\sqrt{\frac{(62kg)(27.29m/s)^2}{6200N/m}}\\\\x=2.72m

The net fire is stretched 2.72 m
