32,000 because 1.6 times 20,000 is 32,000

Set up a proportion

1 mile/1.6 km = 20,000miles/x

Cross Multiply
x = (20,000) * (1.6)
x = 32,000 kilometers

V = IR

By completing the equation, i found that the total power equation is : 4.8,
Which means that it's not exceed the power rating.

So i believe the answer would be : The string will remain lit

What is the tangential velocity of a record player which makes 11 revolutions in 20 seconds?

slava [35]

Answer:

The tangential velocity of a rotating object is:

v = r*w

where r is the radius, and w is the angular velocity.

w = 2*pi*f

where f is the frequency.

We know that the record plater does 11 revolutions in 20 seconds, then it does:

11 rev/20s = 0.55 rev/s = f

then we have:

w = 2*pi*0.55 s^-1 = 2*3.14*0.55 s^-1 = 3.454 s^-1

The radius of a record player is really variable, it is around 10 inches, so i will use r = 10in, which is the rotating part of the record player.

then the tangential velocity is:

v = 10in*3.454 s^-1 = 34.54 in/s

All types of electromagnetic waves moves with speed of light in *

Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

in a vacuum

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves are waves consisting of oscillations of electric and magnetic fields along a plane perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave (transverse waves)

Electromagnetic waves are the only waves being able to travel in a vacuum, since they do not need a medium to propagate.

In a vacuum, all electromagnetic waves travel at the same speed, called speed of light, whose value is:

$c=3.0\cdot 10^8 m/s$

The speed of the waves is actually reduced when they enter a medium, according to

$v=\frac{c}{n}$

where n is the refractive index of the medium.

Electromagnetic waves are also classified into 7 different types according to their wavelength. From shortest to longest wavelength, we have:

Gamma rays

X-rays

Ultraviolet

Visible light

Infrared

Microwaves

Radio waves
