Answer:

The wavelength in miles is <u>0.1165 miles</u>.

Explanation:

Given:

Wavelength of the radio wave is 187.37 m.

Now, the wavelength is given in meters.

We need to convert the wavelength from meters to miles.

In order to convert meters to miles, we have to use their conversion factor.

We know that,

1 meter = $\frac{1}{1609}\ miles$

Therefore, the conversion factor is given as:

$CF=\frac{1}{1609}\ miles\ per\ meter$

So, the wavelength in miles is given as:

$Wavelength=\textrm{Wavelength in meters}\times CF\\\\Wavelength=187.37\ m\times \frac{\frac{1}{1609}\ miles}{1\ m}\\\\Wavelength=\frac{187.37}{1609}\ miles\\\\Wavelength=0.1165\ miles$

Hence, the wavelength in miles is 0.1165 miles.

Explanation: The friction is not relevant

Normal reaction is the force perpendicular to the surface.

this force resists the downwards forces applied which are gravity and a component of the applied force.

A 1.0-cm-tall object is 13 cm in front of a converging lens that has a 40 cm focal length.

kicyunya [14]

A) Image position: -19.3 cm

B) Image height: 1.5 cm, upright

Explanation:

In order to calculate the image position, we can use the lens equation:

$\frac{1}{p}+\frac{1}{q}=\frac{1}{f}$

where

p is the distance of the object from the lens

q is the distance of the image from the lens

f is the focal length

In this problem, we have:

p = 13 cm (object distance)

f = 40 cm (focal length, positive for a converging lens)

So the image distance is

$\frac{1}{q}=\frac{1}{f}-\frac{1}{p}=\frac{1}{40}-\frac{1}{13}=-0.0519\\q=\frac{1}{-0.0519}=-19.3 cm$

The negative sign means that the image is virtual.

In order to calculate the image height, we use the magnification equation:

$\frac{y'}{y}=-\frac{q}{p}$

where

y' is the image height

y is the object height

In this problem, we have:

y = 1.0 cm (object height)

p = 13 cm

q = -19.3 cm

Therefore, the image heigth is

$y'=-\frac{qy}{p}=-\frac{(-19.3)(1.0)}{13}=1.5 cm$

And the positive sign means the image is upright.

What determines how the plates interact at their boundaries

swat32

Answer:

Tectonic plate interactions are of three different basic types: Divergent boundaries are areas where plates move away from each other, forming either mid-oceanic ridges or rift valleys. These are also known as constructive boundaries. Convergent boundaries are areas where plates move toward each other and collide.

Explanation:

Meaning the answer to your question is depending on what type of tectonic plate interaction is occurring will depend on how the plates interact.

Two radio antennas A and B radiate in phase. Antenna B is a distance of 120 m to the right of antenna A. Consider point Q along

LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

240 m

120 m

Explanation:

d = Path difference = 120 m

For destructive interference

Path difference

$d=\dfrac{\lambda}{2}\\\Rightarrow \lambda=2d\\\Rightarrow \lambda=2\times 120\\\Rightarrow \lambda=240\ m$

The longest wavelength is 240 m

For constructive interference

$d=\lambda\\\Rightarrow 120\ m=\lambda$

The longest wavelength is 120 m
