Frequency represents the number of complete oscillations in one second. it is measured in Hertz (Hz). Electromagnetic waves are waves which do not require a material media for transmission. They travel with a speed of light.
The speed (m/s) of a wave is given by  frequency (Hz) × Wavelength (m)
Speed is 300,000 km/sec or 300,000,000 m/s and the wavelength is 300,000  km or 300,000,000 m.
Frequency = speed÷ wavelength
                 = 300000000 ÷ 300000000 = 1
Therefore, the frequency of the wave is 1Hz

What force is required to accelerate a 1840 kg car from 4.77 m/s to 23.5 m/s,
neonofarm [45]
A :-) for this question , we should apply
a = v - u by t
Given - u = 4.77 m/s
v = 23.5 m/s
t = 5.18 m/s
Solution -
a = v - u by t
a = 23.5 - 4.77
a = 28.27 m/s^2

.:. The acceleration is 28.27 m/s^2

Evaluate ( 64800 ms ) 2 to three significant figures and express the answer in Si units. Express your answer using three signifi
Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

42.0×10² second²

Explanation:

Here, time is given in milisecond

(64800 ms)²

= 4199040000 ms²

The SI unit is seconds

1 second = 1000 milisecond

1\ milisecond=\frac{1}{1000}\ second

\\\Rightarrow 1\ milisecond^2=\left(\frac{1}{1000}\right)^2\ second^2

4199040000\ ms^2=4199040000\times \left(\frac{1}{1000}\right)^2\ second^2=4199.04\ second^2

42.0×10² second²

how many kilograms off mercury would fill a 5litre container if the density of mercury is 13.6grams per cm3
Sidana [21]

Answer:

68kg

Explanation:

1 cm^3 is the same as 1 mL and there are 5000mL in 5L

Therefore if the density is 13.6g/mL we multiply 13.6 by 5000 to get the amount of grams required = 68000g which is 68kg

A steady beam of alpha particles (q = + 2e, mass m = 6.68 × 10-27 kg) traveling with constant kinetic energy 22 MeV carries a cu
cluponka [151]

Answer:

Explanation:

q = 2e = 3.2 x 10^-19 C

mass, m = 6.68 x 10^-27 kg

Kinetic energy, K = 22 MeV

Current, i = 0.27 micro Ampere = 0.27 x 10^-6 A

(a) time, t = 2.8 s

Let N be the alpha particles strike the surface.

N x 2e = q

N x 3.2 x 10^-19 = i t

N x 3.2 x 10^-19 = 0.27 x 10^-6 x 2.8

N = 2.36 x 10^12

(b) Length, L = 16 cm = 0.16 m

Let N be the alpha particles

K = 0.5 x mv²

22 x 1.6 x 10^-13 = 0.5 x 6.68 x 10^-27 x v²

v² = 1.054 x 10^15

v = 3.25 x 10^7 m/s

So, N x 2e = i x t

N x 2e = i x L / v

N x 3.2 x 10^-19 = 2.7 x 10^-7 x 0.16 / (3.25 x 10^7)

N = 4153.85

(c) Us ethe conservation of energy

Kinetic energy = Potential energy

K = q x V

22 x 1.6 x 10^-13 = 2 x 1.5 x 10^-19 x V

V = 1.17 x 10^7 V
