A. An FM radio station broadcasts at a frequency of 101.3 MHz. What is the wavelength?

Physics

Answer:

a) \lambda = \frac{3x10^8 m/s}{101300000 Hz}= 2.962 m

b)  f= \frac{343 m/s}{2.962 m}= 115.8 Hz

Explanation:

For this case we have the following frequency given:

f= 101.3 MHz

We can convert this into Hz like this:

f= 101.3 MHz * \frac{10^6 Hz}{1 MHz}= 101300000 Hz

If we have a fundamental wave we need to satisfy the following condition:

v = \lambda f

If we solve for the wavelength we got:

\lambda = \frac{v}{f}

We know that the velocity of the light is v= 3x10^8 m/s

And if we replace into the last formula we got:

\lambda = \frac{3x10^8 m/s}{101300000 Hz}= 2.962 m

Part b

For this case we can use the same formula but on this case the velocity of the sound at 20C is approximately 343 m/s, the frequency is given by:

f = \frac{v}{\lambda}

We use the same wavelenght from the previous part \lamba = 2.962 m

And if we replace the new values we got:

f= \frac{343 m/s}{2.962 m}= 115.8 Hz

A car moves along a curved road of diameter 2 km. If the maximum velocity for safe driving on this path is 30 m/s, at what angle
Leto [7]
The maximum velocity in a banked road, ignoring friction, is given by;

v = Sqrt (Rg tan ∅), where R = Radius of the curved road = 2*1000/2 = 1000 m, g = gravitational acceleration = 9.81 m/s^2, ∅ = Angle of bank.

Substituting;
30 m/s = Sqrt (1000*9.81*tan∅)
30^2 = 1000*9.81*tan∅
tan ∅ = (30^2)/(1000*9.81) = 0.0917
∅ = tan^-1(0.0917) = 5.24°

Therefore, the road has been banked at 5.24°.

serious [3.7K]

Answer:

Check the explanation

Explanation:

1) Pressure acting on the plug = Patm + P

Pressure = Patm + rho*g*h (Here h = D2)

Pressure = 101325 + 1000*9.8*7

Pressure = 169925 Pa

so, Force = PA

Force = 169925*pi*0.0152

Force = 120.1 N
