Answer:

\huge \boxed{S=\frac{d}{t} }

\rule[225]{225}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed is the rate at which an object covers a distance in a period of time.

The formula to find speed is as follows:

\Longrightarrow \ \  \displaystyle \sf speed =\frac{distance \ travelled }{time \ taken}

\Longrightarrow \ \  \displaystyle S =\frac{d }{t}

You divide the distance travelled by the time taken to find the speed.

Answer:

The average speed of an object is the total distance traveled by the object divided by the elapsed time to cover that distance. It's a scalar quantity which means it is defined only by magnitude. A related concept, average velocity, is a vector quantity.

A certain radio wave has a wavelength of 6.0 × 10-2m. What is its frequency in hertz?
rodikova [14]

Answer:

The frequency of the wave is 5 x 10⁹ Hz

Explanation:

Given;

wavelength of the radio wave, λ = 6.0 × 10⁻²m

radio wave is an example of electromagnetic wave, and electromagnetic waves travel with speed of light, which is equal to 3 x 10⁸ m/s².

Applying wave equation;

V = F λ

where;

V is the speed of the wave

F is the frequency of the wave

λ  is the wavelength

Make F the subject of the formula

F = V /  λ

F = (3 x 10⁸) / (6.0 × 10⁻²)

F = 5 x 10⁹ Hz

Therefore, the frequency of the wave is 5 x 10⁹ Hz

For adults, the RDA of the amino acid lysine is 12 mg per kg of body weight. How many grams per day should a 78kg adult receive?
kari74 [83]
RDA stands for Recommended Daily Allowance. To determine the amount needed of a certain adult per day, we simply multiply the mass of the adult to the value of RDA. For this case, we do as follows:

Daily requirement = 12 mg/kg ( 78 kg ) = 936 mg of lysine = 936000 g

A sinusoidal voltage is given by the expression ????(????)=20cos(5π×103 ????+60°) V. Determine its (a) frequency in hertz, (b) p
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

<em>There are some placeholders in the expression, but they can be safely assumed</em>

Answer:

(a) f=1617.9\ Hz

(b) T=0.618\ ms

(c) A=20 \ Volts

(d) \varphi=60^o

Explanation:

<u>Sinusoidal Waves </u>

An oscillating wave can be expressed as a sinusoidal function as follows

V(t)&=A\cdot \sin(2\pi ft+\varphi )

Where

A=Amplitude

f=frequency

\varphi=Phase\  angle

The voltage of the question is the sinusoid expression  

V(t)=20cos(5\pi\times 103t+60^o)

(a) By comparing with the general formula we have

f=5\pi\times 103=1617.9\ Hz

\boxed{f=1617.9\ Hz}

(b) The period is the reciprocal of the frequency:

\displaystyle T=\frac{1}{f}

\displaystyle T=\frac{1}{1617.9\ Hz}=0.000618\ sec

Converting to milliseconds

\boxed{T=0.618\ ms}

(c) The amplitude is

\boxed{A=20 \ Volts}

(d) Phase angle:

\boxed{\varphi=60^o}
