At what speed does the radio wave travel?

2 answers:

8 0

Radio, infrared, ultraviolet, X-rays, gamma Ray's, and light that you can see, are all electromagnetic waves, and all travel at the "speed of light".

Exactly: 299,792,458 meters per second, in vacuum

Easier to remember: 300,000 kilometers per second, in vacuum

Slower in any material stuff. Depends on the substances.

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to gravity as an expression of a celestial body, as well as the use of concepts such as centripetal acceleration, angular velocity and period.

PART A) The expression to find the acceleration of the earth due to the gravity of another celestial body as the Moon is given by the equation

$g = \frac{GM}{(d-R_{CM})^2}$

Where,

G = Gravitational Universal Constant

d = Distance

M = Mass

$R_{CM} =$ Radius earth center of mass

PART B) Using the same expression previously defined we can find the acceleration of the moon on the earth like this,

$g = \frac{GM}{(d-R_{CM})^2}$

$g = \frac{(6.67*10^{-11})(7.35*10^{22})}{(3.84*10^8-4700*10^3)^2}$

$g = 3.4*10^{-5}m/s^2$

PART C) Centripetal acceleration can be found throughout the period and angular velocity, that is

$\omega = \frac{2\pi}{T}$

At the same time we have that centripetal acceleration is given as

$a_c = \omega^2 r$

Replacing

$a_c = (\frac{2\pi}{T})^2 r$

$a_c = (\frac{2\pi}{26.3d(\frac{86400s}{1days})})^2 (4700*10^3m)$

$a_c = 3.34*10^{-5}m/s^2$

Given:
Water, 2 kilograms
T1 = 20 degrees Celsius, T2 = 100 degrees Celsius.

Required:
Heat produced

Solution:
Q (heat) = nRT = nR(T2 = T1)
Q (heat) = 2 kilograms (4.184 kiloJoules per kilogram Celsius) (100 degrees Celsius – 20 degrees Celsius)
<u>Q (heat) = 669.42 Joules
</u>This is the amount of heat produced in boiling 2 kg of water.

Answer:

Explanation:

a is the acceleration

μ is the coefficient of friction

Acceleration of the object is given by

$a = g (\sin \theta -\mu \cos \theta)\\\\=10( \sin 30 - 0.4 \cos 30)\\\\=10(0.5-0.3464)\\\\=1.54m/s^2$
