Answer:

λ₁ = 2.50 10⁻² m,   λ₂ = 1.66 10⁻² m  

Explanation:

Microwave communication is very efficient because it does not have atmospheric interference, for which it is widely used and has been regulated to avoid interference, the ku band is in the range between 12 and 18 GHz.

Let's calculate the wavelength for the two extreme frequencies of this band

wavelength and frequency are related

         c = λ f

          λ = c / f

f₁ = 12 GHz = 12 10⁹ Hz

          λ₁ = 3 10⁸ /12 10⁹

           λ₁ = 2.50 10⁻² m

f₂ = 18 GHz = 18 10⁹ Hz

          λ₂ = 3 10⁸ /18 10⁹

          λ₂ = 1.66 10⁻² m

Unfortunately in your exercise the specific frequency is not fired, for significant figures they must be the same number as the figures of the frequency, in general the frequency has 3 or 4 significant figures

<u>We are given:</u>

Mass of Neptune = 1.03 * 10²⁶ kg

Distance from the center of Neptune (r) = 2.27 * 10⁷

now, computing the value of the acceleration due to gravity (g)

<u>Finding g:</u>

We know the formula:

g = G(mass of planet) / (r)²

g = [6.67 * 10⁻¹¹ * 1.03*10²⁶] / (2.27*10⁷)                      [since G is 6.67*10⁻¹¹]

g = (6.87 * 10¹⁵) / (5.15 * 10¹⁴)

which can be rewritten as:

g = (6.87 * 10¹⁵ * 10⁻¹⁴) / 5.15

g = (6.87 * 10¹⁵⁻¹⁴) / 5.15

g = (6.87/5.15) * 10

g = 1.34 * 10

g = 13.4 m/s² <em>(approx)</em>

How much force is needed to accelerate a 68 kilogram-skier at a rate of 1.2 m/sec^2?
DiKsa [7]
<span>Answer: Force = 81.6 N

Explanation:
According to Newton's Second law:
F = ma --- (1)

Where F = Force = ?
m = Mass = 68 kg
a = Acceleration = 1.2 m/s^2

Plug in the values in (1):
(1) => F = 68 * 1.2
F = 81.6 N (The force needed to accelerate the skier at a rate of 1.2 m/s^2)</span>

natulia [17]

Answer:

1.01 × 10⁵ Pa  

Explanation:

At the surface, atmospheric pressure is 1.013 × 10⁵ Pa.

We need to find the total pressure on the air in the lungs of a person to a depth of 1 meter.

Pressure at a depth is given by :

P=\rho gh

Where

\rho is the density of air, \rho=1.225\ kg/m^3

So,

P=1.225\times 9.8\times 1\\\\=12\ Pa

Total pressure, P = Atmospheric pressure + 12 Pa

= 1.013 × 10⁵ Pa + 12 Pa

= 1.01 × 10⁵ Pa

Hence, the total pressure is 1.01 × 10⁵ Pa.

A repelling force occurs between two charged objects when the charges are of Equal magnitude. Equal magnitude. a Unequal magnitu
Ahat [919]

Answer:

c Like/same signs

Explanation:

A repelling force occurs between two or more charged objects with the charges are of like or same sign.

  • According to Coulombs law, like charges repel on another, unlike charges attracts on another.
  • If a positive charge comes into the vicinity of another positive charge, there will be repulsion.
  • When oppositely charge species are brought near each other, there is an attraction.

Therefore, repulsion occurs when like charges are brought close to each other.
