(a) 10 GHz is the frequency of microwave radiation.

(b) 0.167 ms is required by the microwave to travel between two mountains.

Answer:

Explanation:

(a). 1 MHz is the frequency of microwave radiation.

(b)  0.167 ms is required by the microwave to travel between two mountains.

Answer:

Explanation:

a. Frequency is the measure of number of times a same thing will be repeated in a given time interval for a given time. And wavelength is the measure of distance between two successive crests or troughs. So wavelength and frequency are inversely proportional to each other. And velocity of light is the proportionality constant.

So frequency of microwave radiation = Speed of light/Wavelength of radiation

Frequency = \frac{3*10^{8} }{3*10^{-2} }

Frequency = 10^{8+2} = 10^{10}=10 GHz

So 10 GHz is the frequency of microwave radiation.

b). As microwave is a part of light waves, so it will be experiencing the speed of light.

As the speed is 3*10^{8} m/s and the distance between the two mountains is given as 50 km, then time can be calculated as

Time = Distance/Velocity

Time = \frac{50*10^{3} m}{3*10^{8} }=16.67*10^{3-8}=16.67*10^{-5}

So time = 0.167 ms.

Thus, 0.167 ms is required by the microwave to travel between two mountains.

What does the person in back of the ambulance experience? A) a lower frequency of the siren B) a lower amplitude of the siren C)
hoa [83]

The answer to your question is "A. a lower frequency of the siren.

Because the person in back of the ambulance will hear a lower frequency of the siren. This is because the waves are stretched out. A longer wavelength results in a lower frequency.

A youngster having a mass of 50.0 kg steps off a 1.00 m high platform. If she keeps her legs fairly rigid and comes to rest in 1
attashe74 [19]

The average act on her during the deceleration is 4.47 meters per second.                                                                

<u>Explanation</u>:

<u>Given</u>:

youngster mass m = 50.0 kg

She steps off a 1.00 m high platform that is s = 1 meter

She comes to rest in the 10-meter second

<u>To Find</u>:

The average force and momentum

<u>Formulas</u>:

p = m * v

F * Δ t = Δ p

vf^2= vi^2+2as

<u>Solution</u>:

a = 9.8 m/s

vi = 0

vf^2= 0+2(9.8)(1)

vf^2 = 19.6

vf = 4.47 m/s .

Therefore the average force is 4.47 m/s.

What is an essential characteristic of an object in equilibrium?
bulgar [2K]

Answer:

2) zero acceleration

Explanation:

Motion can be defined as a change in the location (position) of a physical object or body with respect to a reference point.

This ultimately implies that, motion would occur as a result of a change in location (position) of an object with respect to a reference point or frame of reference i.e where it was standing before the effect of an external force.

Mathematically, the motion of an object is described in terms of time, distance, speed, velocity, position, displacement, acceleration, etc.

In physics, acceleration can be defined as the rate of change of the velocity of an object with respect to time.

Generally, an object is said to be in equilibrium when neither the energy possessed by the object not state of motion changes with respect to time. Thus, the vector sum of all the forces acting upon an object that's in equilibrium is zero.

In conclusion, an essential characteristic of an object in equilibrium is zero (0) acceleration because there's no change in its velocity with respect to time.

An automobile engine has an efficiency of 22.0% and produces 2510 J of work. How much heat is rejected by the engine
katrin [286]

Answer:

If efficiency is .22 then  W = .22 * Q   where Q is the heat input

Heat Input    Q = 2510 / .22 = 11,400 J

Heat rejected = 11.400 - 2510 = 8900  J of heat wasted

Also, 8900 J / (4.19 J / cal) = 2120 cal
