Answer:

Why does a satellite in a circular orbit travel at a constant speed? ... The net force acting on the satellite is zero. The gravitational force acting on the satellite is balanced by the centrifugal force acting on the satellite. There is a force acting opposite to the direction of the motion of the satellite.

What is the wavelength of the radio waves from an FM station operating at a frequency of 99.5 MHz

ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

Wavelength, $\lambda=3.01\ m$

Explanation:

It is given that,

Frequency, f = 99.5 MHz = 99.5 × 10⁶ Hz

We need to find the wavelength of the radio waves from an FM station operating at above frequency. The relationship between the frequency and the wavelength is given by :

$c=f\lambda$

$\lambda=\dfrac{c}{f}{$

c = speed of light

$\lambda=\dfrac{3\times 10^8\ m/s}{99.5\times 10^6\ Hz}$

$\lambda=3.01\ m$

So, the wavelength of the radio waves from an FM station is 3.01 m. Hence, this is the required solution.

A rock that has deformed ____ under stress keeps its new shape when the stress is released.

Anna007 [38]

Answer:

Elastically

Explanation:

A rock that has deformed Elastically under stress keeps its new shape when the stress is released.

In elastic deformation the original shape of the object is regained when the stress is removed. Whereas in plastic deformation the original shape is parmanently deformed with the application of stress.
