Answer: 0.16Hz

Explanation:

Given that:

wavelength (λ) = 125 meters

speed (V) = 20 m/s

frequency (F) = ?

Recall that frequency is the number of cycles the wave complete in one second. And its value depends on the wavelength and speed of the wave.

So, apply the formula V = F λ

Make F the subject formula

F = V / λ

F = 20 m/s / 125 meters

F = 0.16 Hz

Thus, the frequency of the wave is 0.16 Hertz.

Air "breaks down" when the electric field strength reaches 3 × 106 n/c, causing a spark. A parallel-plate capacitor is made from

Lera25 [3.4K]

Electric field between the plates of parallel plate capacitor is given as

$E = \frac{Q}{A\epsilon_0}$

here area of plates of capacitor is given as

$A = 0.055 * 0.055$

$A = 3.025 * 10^{-3}$

also the maximum field strength is given as

$E = 3 * 10^6 N/C$

now we will plug in all data to find the maximum possible charge on capacitor plates

$3 * 10^6 = \frac{Q}{3.025 * 10^{-3}*8.85 * 10^{-12}}$

$Q = 8.03 * 10^{-8} C$

so the maximum charge that plate will hold will be given by above

What is the component in a car engine that would detect the need for air?

Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

Control of air–fuel ratio

Oxygen sensors tell the ECU whether the engine is running rich (too much fuel or too little oxygen) or running lean (too much oxygen or too little fuel) as compared to ideal conditions (known as stoichiometric).
