Answer:

Displacement

Explanation:

To describe the change in position you need to indicate the distance between the final and initial positions and the direction in which you moved. The distance is the magnitude.

The quantities that need both magnitude and direction to be described are named vector quantities or, just, vectors.

The vector quantity that defines both the distance and direction between two positions describes the change in your position and is named displacement. For instance, to indicate how you can goe to the supermarket from your house you cannot just say walk 2 miles. You need to indicate the direction; let's say 2 miles North. In this case, the displacement when you goe from your house to the supermarket is 2 miles North. And it is different of the displacement when you comeback from the supermarket to your house, because it would be 2 miles South.

What is (a) the wavenumber and (b) the wavelength of the radiation used by an fm radio transmitter broadcasting at 92. 0 mhz?

yulyashka [42]

The wavenumber and (b) the wavelength of the radiation used by an fm radio transmitter broadcasting at 92. 0 mhz will be 31.25 * $10^{2}$ $m^{-1}$ and 0.032 * $10^{2}$ m respectively

Forms of electromagnetic radiation like radio waves, light waves or infrared (heat) waves make characteristic patterns as they travel through space. Each wave has a certain shape and length. The distance between peaks (high points) is called wavelength.

Wavenumber, also called wave number, a unit of frequency, often used in atomic, molecular, and nuclear spectroscopy, equal to the true frequency divided by the speed of the wave and thus equal to the number of waves in a unit distance.

wavelength = ?

frequency = 92 m Hz = 92 * $10^{6}$ Hz

speed of light = 3 * $10^{8}$ m/s

speed of light = frequency * wavelength

wavelength = speed of light / frequency

= 3 * $10^{8}$ / 92 * $10^{6}$

= 0.032 * $10^{2}$ m

wavenumber = 1 / wavelength

= 1 / 0.032 * $10^{2}$ m

= 31.25 * $10^{2}$ $m^{-1}$

Juan amd kym have four samples of matter. They are observing and describing the properties of these samples. Which property will

TiliK225 [7]

Answer: The property that will best provide evidence that the samples are solid includes:

--> if the substance has a definite shape,

-->if the substance has a definite volume

--> if it's tightly packed.

Explanation:

According to the kinetic theory of matter, every substance consist of very large number of very small particles called molecules. These molecules, which are made up of atoms that are the smallest particles of a substance that can exist in a free state.

Matter can exist in the following states:

--> Solid state

--> liquid state or

--> Gaseous state.

The general property of a substance that is in gaseous state includes:

--> Definite shape: A substance can be grouped as a solid if it's shape is fixed that is, it doesn't depend on the shape of other materials.

--> Definite volume: A substance can be grouped as a solid if it occupies its own shape. This is due to the force of cohesion among its molecules.

--> Tightly packed: A substance can be grouped as solid if the molecular movements of the particles are negligible.

From the samples under observation by Juan and kym, if the sample that possesses the above described qualities, it is a solid rather than liquid or gas.

pshyical change is a usually reversible change of a substance, as size or shape: Freezing a liquid is a physical change. Compare chemical change.

internal change is when the movement of the particles increases

specific latent heat is the amount of energy per kg (unit mass) required to change ice to water without change in temperature.
