<span>1.2x10^4 s To determine how long the radio signal takes to travel the distance, just divide the distance by the speed of light. So 4.0x10^8 km / 3.00x10^5 km/s = Multiply the mantissa, so 4.0 * 3.00 = 12.000 Subtract the exponents 8 - 5 = 3 So the result is 12.000 x 10^3. But since 12 is greater than or equal to 10, we need to divide by 10 and add 1 to the exponent, getting 1.2000 x 10^4 s And since the least precise value we have has only 2 significant figures, we need to round the result to 2 significant figures, getting 1.2x10^4 As for the units, we had km divided by km/s so km / km/s = km * s/km = (km s)/km = s/1 = s Therefore the final result is: 1.2x10^4 s</span>

How does having a sharp pointed beak limit what foods a bird can eat?
liraira [26]

Answer:

The shape of a bird's beak is a clue to its main source of food. The shape of a bird's beak is designed for eating particular types of food such as: seeds, fruit, insects, nectar, fish, or small mammals. Bird beaks have adapted over time to help birds find food within their habitat which allows them to survive. The beak, bill, and/or rostrum is an external anatomical structure found mostly in birds, but also in non-avian dinosaurs and some mammals. A beak is used for eating and for preening, manipulating objects, killing prey, fighting, probing for food, courtship and feeding young.

An astrophysicist mounts two thin lenses along a single optical axis (the lenses are at right angles to the line connecting them
Alexandra [31]

Answer:

1 / i + 1 / o = 1 / f     thin lens equations

i = o f / (o - f)   rearranging

Lens 1:   object = 30 cm    f = 15.2 cm

i1 = 30 * 15.2 / (30 - 15.2) = 30.8 cm

o2 = 40.2 - 30/8 = 9.4 cm    distance of image 1 from lens 2

i2 = 9.4 * 15.2 / (9.4 - 15.2) = - 24.6 cm

The final image is 24.6 cm to the left of lens 2

The first image is inverted

The second image is erect (as seen from the first image)

So the final image is inverted

M = m1 * m2 = (-30.8 / 30) * (24.6 / 9.4) = -2.69

What is an example of frequency
emmasim [6.3K]

'Frequency' is a word that often confuses some people ... for no good reason.
It just means "frequent-ness" or "often-ness" ... how often something happens.

The SI unit of frequency is the Hertz (Hz).  Hz means 'per second'.
So  " 13 Hz "  means  13 per second.

Here are examples of frequency:

-- 780 kilohertz (on your AM radio dial)
-- 98.7 Megahertz (on your FM dial)
-- 5.8 Gigahertz
-- twice a day
-- three per week
-- every 6 months
