The length of a rectangular sheet of metal decreases by 34.5 cm. Its width decreases proportionally. If the sheets original widt

h was half the original length and the new area of the sheet is 1.2 m^2 what is the sheets original width and what percent did the area of the sheet change.

The original width was 94.71 cm 
<span>The area decreased 33.1% </span>

<span>The equation for the final size is </span>
<span>2X^2 = 1.2 m^2 </span>
<span>X^2 - 0.6 m^2 </span>
<span>X^2 = 10000 * .6 cm </span>
<span>X = 77.46 cm (this is the width) </span>

<span>The length is 2 * 77.46 = 154.92 cm </span>

<span>The original length was 154.92 + 34.5 = 189.42 cm </span>
<span>The original width was 189.42 / 2 = 94.71 cm </span>

<span>The original area was 94.71 * 189.92 = 17939.9 cm^2 </span>
<span>The new area is 79.46 * 154.92 = 12000.1 cm^2 </span>

<span>The difference between the original and current area is 17939.9 - 12000.1 = 5939.86 cm^2 </span>

<span>The percentage the area decreased is 5939.86 ' 17939.9 = 33.1%</span>

Problem: The frequency of an FM radio station is 89.3 MHz. Calculate its period. Part B: From the Library, select the general eq
vekshin1

Answer:

Time period, T=1.11\times 10^{-8}\ s

Explanation:

We have,

The frequency of an FM radio station is 89.3 MHz.

It is required to find the period of the wave.

The reciprocal of frequency is called time period of a wave. It can be given by :

T=\dfrac{1}{f}\\\\T=\dfrac{1}{89.3\times 10^{6}\ Hz}\\\\T=1.11\times 10^{-8}\ s

So, the period of the wave is 1.11\times 10^{-8}\ s.

Please answer ASAP for brainliest
OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

Question #1- Scientists agree to a standard way of reporting measured quantities in which the number of reported digits reflects the precision in the measurement- more digits, more precision; less digits, less precision. You just studied 14 terms!

Question #2-  Units are important because without proper measurement and units to express them, we can never express physical laws precisely just from qualitative reasoning. Units are incredibly important to physics. Two of the most important reasons are the following: (1) they help us. to avoid making mistakes in computation, and (2) they serve as a check on computations once they are completed. In the first case, you can avoid adding 3m and 25cm and coming up with the wrong answer.

Explanation: Hope this helps please mark brainliest!

How does the matter and (solar) energy move through the sphere?
Tema [17]
When the Sun's energy moves through space, it reaches Earth's atmosphere and finally the surface. This radiant solar energy warms the atmosphere and becomes heat energy. This heat energy is transferred throughout the planet's systems in three ways: by radiation, conduction, and convection.
