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 powerful motorcycle can produce an acceleration of 3.50 m/s2 while traveling at 90.0 km/h. At that speed the forces resisting
IrinaK [193]

Answer:1265 N

Explanation:

Given

acceleration of motorcycle \left ( a\right )=3.5 m/s^2

Velocity \left ( v\right )=90 km/h\approx 25m/s

Air friction and Friction\left ( f\right )=425 N

mass of the motorcycle with rider\left ( m\right )=240 Kg

Applying Forces on motorcycle

F_{engine}-f=ma

F_{engine}=f+ma

F_{engine}=425+240\left ( 3.5\right )

F_{engine}=425+840=1265 N

egoroff_w [7]
I think it would be yes because the drum is submerged in water and the water would slow the sound waves, making the sound softer. Right?

What is the general relationship between earthquake epicenters and volcano positions along the Pacific coast of Mexico and Centr
yanalaym [24]

Geographically throughout this area of Mexico, Central America Caribbean is located the Cocos plate. This area is scientifically known as the Central American subduction zone.

In order for a volcano to form, there is usually a clash between the technical plates that generates the elevation of the ground and the connection with ducts that release the magma from the earth. If this entire area is a subduction area, it will also be a land stress release area where volcano lines will be formed, that is, it is a convergent plate boundary area

The stopcock connecting a 2.14 L bulb containing oxygen gas at a pressure of 8.19 atm, and a 9.84 L bulb containing krypton gas
marshall27 [118]

Answer : The final pressure of the system in atm is, 3.64 atm

Explanation :

Boyle's Law : It is defined as the pressure of the gas is inversely proportional to the volume of the gas at constant temperature and number of moles.

P\propto \frac{1}{V}

or,

P_1V_1+P_2V_2=P_fV_f

where,

P_1 = first pressure = 8.19 atm

P_2 = second pressure = 2.65 atm

V_1 = first volume = 2.14 L

V_2 = second volume = 9.84 L

P_f = final pressure = ?

V_f = final volume = 2.14 L  + 9.84 L = 11.98 L

Now put all the given values in the above equation, we get:

8.19atm\times 2.14L+2.65atm\times 9.84L=P_f\times 11.98L

P_f=3.64atm

Therefore, the final pressure of the system in atm is, 3.64 atm
