Answer:

f=171.43Hz

Explanation:

Wave frequency is the number of waves that pass a fixed point in a given amount of time.

The frequency formula is: f=v÷λ, where <em>v</em> is the velocity and <em>λ</em> is the wavelength.

Then replacing with the data of the problem,

f= $\frac{120\frac{m}{s} }{0.7m}$

f=171.43 $\frac{1}{s}$

f=171.43 Hz (because $\frac{1}{s} = Hz$ , 1 hertz equals 1 wave passing a fixed point in 1 second).

Assume that a lightning bolt can be modeled as a long, straight line of current. If 16 C of charge passes by a point in 1.50 x 1

Reptile [31]

Answer:

$B = 7.9012*10^{-5}T$

Explanation:

To solve the problem, the concepts related to the magnetic field and the current produced in a lightning bolt are necessary.

The current is defined by the load due to time, that is to say

$I= \frac{q}{t}$

Where,

$q= Charge$

$t = time$

So the current can be expressed as:

$I = \frac{16}{1.5*10^{-3}}$

$I = 10666.67A$

Once the current is found it is now possible to find the magnetic field, as this is given by the equation,

$B =\frac{\mu_0}{2\pi}\frac{I}{r}$

Where,

$\mu_0 =$ Permeability Constant

I= Current

r= radius

Replacing the values we have

$B=\frac{4\pi*10^{-7}}{2\pi}(\frac{10666.67}{27})$

$B = 7.9012*10^{-5}T$

Suppose you observe two stars and you know they have the same luminosity. If one star is twice as far away as the other, the mor

rosijanka [135]

Answer:

The farther star will appear 4 times fainter than the star that is near to the observer.

Explanation:

Since it is given that the luminosity of the 2 stars is same thus they radiate the same energy per unit time

Consider a spherical wave front of energy 'E' that leaves both the stars (Both radiate 'E' as they have same luminosity)

This Energy is spread over the whole surface area of sphere Thus when the wave front is at a distance 'r' the energy per unit surface area is given by

$e_{1}=\frac{E}{4\pi r^{2}}$

For the star that is twice away from the earth the distance is '2r' thus we will receive an energy given by

$e_{2}=\frac{E}{4\pi (2r)^{2}}=\frac{E}{8\pi r^{2}}=\frac{e_{1}}{4}$

Hence we sense it as 4 times fainter than the nearer star.

Having aced your Physics 2111 class, you get a sweet summer-job working in the International Space Station. Your room-mate, Cosm

Sphinxa [80]

Answer:

The speed is $s = 5.857 m/s$

The distance is $D = 22.4 \ m$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The speed of the banana is $v = 16 \ m/s$

The distance from my location is $d = 8.2 \ m$

The time taken is $t = 1.4 \ s$

The speed of the ice cream is

$s = \frac{d}{t}$

substituting values

$s = \frac{8.4}{1.4}$

$s = 5.857 m/s$

The distance of separation between i and Valdimir is the same as the distance covered by the banana

$D = v * t$

substituting values

$D = 16 * 1.4$

$D = 22.4 \ m$

What are two advantages of using renewable resources?

Pavel [41]

One advantage is that whatever resource it is, it will never run out and you wont have to worry about not having it. A second is that there is going to be enough for everyone to use however much they want without there having to be a limit on how much you use.
