"ps" stands for "pico-second".  It means 10⁻¹² second.

The period of this wave is 8.43 x 10⁻¹² second.

In a vacuum, the speed of any electromagnetic wave is 3 x 10⁸ m/s.

Wavelength = (speed) / (frequency)

But Frequency = 1 / period

So Wavelength = (speed) x (period)

Wavelength = (3 x 10⁸ m/s) x (8.43 x 10⁻¹² sec)

Wavelength = 2.5 x 10⁻³ meter

<em>Wavelength = 2.5 millimeters</em>

<em></em>

An AC source operating at a frequency of 250 Hz has a maximum output voltage of 6.00 V. What is the smallest inductor that can b
Julli [10]

Answer:

1.274 H

Explanation:

using

V = XLI...................Equation 1

Where V = voltage, XL = Inductive reactance, I = current.

Make XL the subject of the equation

XL = V/I.............. Equation 2

Given: V = 6.00 V, I = 3.00 mA = 0.003 A

Substitute into equation 2

XL = 6/0.003

XL = 2000 Ω

But,

XL = 2πFL............... Equation 3

Where F = Frequency, L = inductance.

Make L the subject of the equation

L = XL/(2πF).............. Equation 4

Given: F = 250 Hz, XL = 2000 Ω

Constant: π = 3.14

L = 2000/(2×3.14×250)

L = 2000/1570

L = 1.274 H.

vlada-n [284]

Answer:

Work done by friction along the motion is given as

W_f = -5857.8 J

Explanation:

As per work energy theorem we can say

Work done by all forces = change in kinetic energy of the system

so here car is moving from bottom to top

so here the change in kinetic energy is total work done on the car

so here we will have

W_f + W_g = \frac{1}{2}m(v_f^2 - v_i^2)

W_f - mgH = \frac{1}{2}m(v_f^2 - v_i^2)

now plug in all data in it

W_f - (130)(9.81)(2\times 12) = \frac{1}{2}(130)(8^2 - 25^2)

W_f = 30607.2 - 36465

W_f = -5857.8 J
