Answer:

The object distance is 92 cm.

Explanation:

let v be the image distance and h be the height of the image, let u the be the object distance and H be the height of the object.

then, the magification of the mirror is given by:

m = -v/u and m = h/H

so, -v/u = h/H

u = -v×H/h

= -(-4.6)×(82)/(4.1)

= 92 cm

Therefore, the object distance is 92 cm.

Tapping the surface of a pan of water generates 17.5 waves per second. If the wavelength of each wave is 45 cm, what is the spee

ElenaW [278]

Answer:

Speed of the wave is 7.87 m/s.

Explanation:

It is given that, tapping the surface of a pan of water generates 17.5 waves per second.

We know that the number of waves per second is called the frequency of a wave.

So, f = 17.5 Hz

Wavelength of each wave, $\lambda=45\ cm=0.45\ m$

Speed of the wave is given by :

$v=f\lambda$

$v=17.5\times 0.45$

v = 7.87 m/s

So, the speed of the wave is 7.87 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

Answer: 4.

Explanation:

Use formula v = d / t, where v = speed, d = distance and t = time.

v = 10 / 2.5

v = 4.

Although he did not present a mechanism, what were the key points of Alfred Wegener’s proposal for the concept of continental dr

valentinak56 [21]

Answer: Alfred Wegener provided some of the important points that supported the theory of continental drift. They are as follows-

The continents were once all attached together, and this can be proved by studying the coastlines of some of the continents that perfectly matches with one another.
The appearance of similar rock types and similar fossils (including both animals and plants) has also contributed much information that continents were once all together.

radio waves travel at the speed of light, 3 x 10^8 m/s. the wavelength of a radio wave record is 200,000,000 hz is?

ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

1.5m

Explanation:

Speed of waves is given as the product of the wavelength and frequency. Sometimes when frequency is not given but the period is given, we get the frequency as the reciprocal of the period. The speed of waves is given in m/s, wavelength in m while frequency in Hz.

Speed, s= fw and making w the subject of formula,

$w=\frac {s}{f}$

Substituting 300, 000, 000 m/s for s and 200, 000, 000 for f then we obtain that

$w=\frac {300000000}{200000000}=1.5 m$

What is The common value for the speed of light in a vacuum

Talja [164]

The most common value for the speed of light is 3*10^8 meters/second.

A more accurate number is <span>299 792 458 m/second, but that number is hardly ever used.</span>
