Answer:

f=8.219*10^{8}Hz

Explanation:

We are going to use the formula  v=fλ

Where v= velocity of radio waves

f= frequency

λ= wavelength of wave

  • radio waves are electromagnetic waves and as such they have the speed of light which is 3*10^{8}m/s.
  • also when a wave travels from one medium to another, the wavelength changes while the frequency remains the same.
  • calculating for the frequency of the wave in air also gives us the frequency in the window glass.

f=\frac{v}{λ}

v=3*10^{8}m/s.

λ=36.5 cm = 36.5/100= 0.365m

f=\frac{3*10^{8}m/s.}{0.365m}

f=8.219*10^{8}Hz

Marine science- question- what is climate change?
Troyanec [42]

Answer:

Defined below

Explanation:

Climate change is simply the long term change in the average weather patterns that are associated with the local, regional and global climates of the earth. Climate change is usually driven by human activities like burning of fossils; natural processes like cyclic ocean patterns; external factors like volcanic eruptions.

A year 11 pupil with a mass of 55kg swinging back on their chair and falling off it at a speed of 0.6m/s. What is his kinetic en
posledela

Answer:

Uk = 9.9 J

Explanation:

To calculate the kinetic energie (Uk), you can make use of this formula:

Uk = 0.5 * m * v²

given m = 55 kg and v = 0.6 m/s

Substituting in the formula gives:

Uk = 0.5 * 55 * (0.6)²

Uk = 0.5 * 55 * 0.36

Uk = 9.9 J

Extra:

Now let's examine the formula in relation to the SI units. <em>If you understand the following, it will give you great insight in how smart Phisics is inter twained by looking at formulas and their standard units. It will save you time in future to convert formulas, if you use the right standard units.</em>

The formula for kinetic energie is:

Uk = 0.5 * m * v²

Standard SI unit for mass m is kg.

Standard SI unit for speed v is m/s.

So v * v = v² and therefore v² must have the standard SI unit of m²/s².

From the formula, you see that the unit of Uk must be kg*m²/s² and since Uk is normally given in J, these both forms must be the same !

The main unit for Uk is the Joule. <em>Now</em><em> </em><em>please</em><em> </em><em>see</em><em> </em><em>the</em><em> </em><em>picture</em><em>,</em><em> </em><em>which</em><em> </em><em>shows</em><em> </em><em>the </em><em>relation</em><em> </em><em>between </em><em>the </em><em>J </em><em>and </em><em>other</em><em> SI units</em><em>.</em><em> </em><em>Please</em><em> </em><em>understand</em><em> </em><em>that</em><em> </em><em>you</em><em> </em><em>can</em><em> </em><em>construct</em><em> </em><em>your</em><em> </em><em>'own'</em><em> </em><em>formulas</em><em> </em><em>based</em><em> </em><em>these</em><em> </em><em>units</em><em>.</em><em> </em><em>Now</em><em> </em><em>here</em><em> </em><em>is</em><em> </em><em>the</em><em> </em><em>time</em><em> </em><em>saver</em><em>:</em>

Because almost always the right units are <em>given</em> in a question, or because sometimes you can look up a constant in a table with an exotic and seemingly complicated unit, but that says a lot about the formula which must have been some how involved!

<em>By this, I hope you now understand the implication of using the right standard SI units and how that can help you figure out what formula is needed.</em>

Which of the following is not a reason fluorescent lamps are advantageous over incandescent lamps?A. Fluorescent lamps are more
mr_godi [17]

Answer:

B. Fluorescent lamps operate at a higher temperature than incandescent

Explanation:

Fluorescent lamps have a number of advantages over incandescent lamps which are given in the options given in A, C and D. The option available in B is a drawback, not an advantage. This is because it can give out and radiate more heat as a result of working at a higher temperature. Hence B option is correct.

A basketball has a mass of 567 g. Heading straight downward, in the direction, it hits the floor with a speed of 2 m/s and rebou
Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

\Delta p=2.27\frac{kg\cdot m}{s}

Explanation:

The momentum change is defined as:

\Delta p=p_f-p_i\\\Delta p=mv_f-mv_i\\\Delta p=m(v_f-v_i)(1)

Taking the downward motion as negative and the upward motion as positive, we have:

v_f=2\frac{m}{s}(2)\\v_i=-2\frac{m}{s}(3)

Replacing (2) and (3) in (1):

\Delta p=567*10^{-3}kg(2\frac{m}{s}-(-2\frac{m}{s}))\\\Delta p=2.27\frac{kg\cdot m}{s}
