The wavelength of the wave is 0.40 m.

Frequency f of a wave is defined as the number of waves traveling through a point in one second. Wavelength λ is the distance traveled by the wave in one complete time period. The speed of the wave v is related to frequency and wavelength by the expression,

$v=f \lambda$

Therefore,

$\lambda =\frac{v}{f}$

Substitute 200 m/s for v and 500 Hz for f.

$\lambda =\frac{v}{f}\\ =\frac{200 m/s}{500 Hz} \\ =0.40m$

Thus, the wavelength of the wave is 0.40 m

A sphere has surface area 1.25 m2, emissivity 1.0, and temperature 100.0°C. What is the rate at which it radiates heat into empt

Yuri [45]

The total power emitted by an object via radiation is:
$P=A\epsilon \sigma T^4$
where:
A is the surface of the object (in our problem, $A=1.25 m^2$
$\epsilon$ is the emissivity of the object (in our problem, $\epsilon=1$ )
$\sigma = 5.67 \cdot 10^{-8} W/(m^2 K^4)$ is the Stefan-Boltzmann constant
T is the absolute temperature of the object, which in our case is $T=100^{\circ} C=373 K$

Substituting these values, we find the power emitted by radiation:
$P=(1.25 m^2)(1.0)(5.67 \cdot 10^{-8}W/(m^2K^4)})(373 K)^4=1371 W = 1.4 kW$
So, the correct answer is D.

Okay, hun. Velocity is a vector quantity that measures displacement over a period of time. Velocity = Speed/Time (v=s/t). Hope this helped you. I took physics over 4 years ago. I'm more of a biology/chemistry person. (I major in those)

A truck travels down the highway at a speed of 110 km/hr. How long does the trip last if the truck covered 2200km?

vivado [14]

It'll last 20 hours. If it travels 110 miles in one hours, 110 times 20 equals 2,200.

Elenna [48]

Thank you for posting your Physics question here. I hope the answer helps. Upon calculating the ramp with the horizontal the answer is 20.49 Deg. Below is the solution:

Y = 7 m.
r = 20 m. 

sinA = Y/r = 7/20 = 0.35. 
A = 20.49 Deg.
