A particular radio station broadcast radio waves at 100 MHz (100 million Hz). If the radio waves travel at the speed of light (3

00 million m/s), then what is the wavelength of the radio waves that the station is broadcasting?

Wavelength = (speed) / (frequency)

= (3 x 10⁸ m/s) / (1 x 10⁸ /s) = 3 meters

You place a 0.17 kg can of soup and a 0.31 kg jar of pickles on the kitchen counter, separated by a distance of 0.42 m. What is

tangare [24]

$1.984 \times 10^{-11} \mathrm{N} \text { is the force of gravity exerted on the jar of pickles. }$

<u>Explanation</u>:

According to Newton's third law that each force has an equal and opposite reaction force in this case both of the jars will exert the same force an each other

. The force is given by

$\mathrm{F}=\frac{G \times M_{1} \times M_{2}}{r^{2}}$

Where, F = force, $G=\text { gravitational constant }=\left(6.67 \times 10^{-11}\right)$ , $mass \left(\mathrm{M}_{1}\right)=0.17 \mathrm{kg}$ , $mass \left M_{2}= 0.31 \mathrm{kg}$ and Distance(r) = 0.42 m.

Substitute the values in the formula.

$\mathrm{F}=\frac{6.67 \times 10^{-11} \times 0.17 \times 0.31}{0.42^{2}}$

$\mathrm{F}=\frac{3.51 \times 10^{-12}}{0.176}$

$\mathrm{F}=1.984 \times 10^{-11} \mathrm{N}$

$\text { The force of gravity exerted on the jar of pickles is } 1.984 \times 10^{-11} \mathrm{N} \text { . }$

Which of the following is NOT a function of the lens in the eye?

tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

it is a light receptor that generates nerve signals that are sent to the brain

Explanation:

the lens are like the glasses, this means that is used to see things better. You just put them in your eye and that's all it's not connected to the brain

A small truck has a mass of 2145 kg. How much work is required to decrease the speed of the vehicle from 25.0 m/s to 12.0 m/s on

MAXImum [283]

Answer:

The work required is -515,872.5 J

Explanation:

Work is defined in physics as the force that is applied to a body to move it from one point to another.

The total work W done on an object to move from one position A to another B is equal to the change in the kinetic energy of the object. That is, work is also defined as the change in the kinetic energy of an object.

Kinetic energy (Ec) depends on the mass and speed of the body. This energy is calculated by the expression:

$Ec=\frac{1}{2} *m*v^{2}$

where kinetic energy is measured in Joules (J), mass in kilograms (kg), and velocity in meters per second (m/s).

The work (W) of this force is equal to the difference between the final value and the initial value of the kinetic energy of the particle:

$W=\frac{1}{2} *m*v2^{2}-\frac{1}{2} *m*v1^{2}$

$W=\frac{1}{2} *m*(v2^{2}-v1^{2})$

In this case:

W=?
m= 2,145 kg
v2= 12 $\frac{m}{s}$

v1= 25 $\frac{m}{s}$

Replacing:

$W=\frac{1}{2} *2145 kg*((12\frac{m}{s} )^{2}-(25\frac{m}{s} )^{2})$

W= -515,872.5 J

<u><em>The work required is -515,872.5 J</em></u>

Which of the following equations describes Newton’s second law

svp [43]

C.

Newton’s Second Law is F=ma (force is equal to the mass multiplied by acceleration), however, the equation can be rearranged to isolate and calculate mass from force over acceleration. Therefore, m=F/a
