Answer:

AM has longer wavelength

Explanation:

The relation between the wavelength and teh frequency is given by

v = f x λ

Where, f is the frequency and λ be the wavelength.

It shows that the wavelength is inversely proportional to the frequency.

So, higher the frequency, smaller be the wavelength.

So, FM has high frequency than AM, thus, FM has lower wavelength as compared to AM.

Explanation:

Let

x_1 = distance traveled while accelerating

x_2 = distance traveled while decelerating

The distance traveled while accelerating is given by

x_1 = v_0t + \frac{1}{2}at^2 = \frac{1}{2}at^2

\:\:\:\:\:= \frac{1}{2}(2.5\:\text{m/s}^2)(30\:\text{s})^2

\:\:\:\:\:= 1125\:\text{m}

We need the velocity of the rocket after 30 seconds and we can calculate it as follows:

v = at = (2.5\:\text{m/s}^2)(30\:\text{s}) = 75\:\text{m/s}

This will be the initial velocity when start calculating for the distance it traveled while decelerating.

v^2 = v_0^2 + 2ax_2

0 = (75\:\text{m/s})^2 + 2(-0.65\:\text{m/s}^2)x_2

Solving for x_2, we get

x_2 = \dfrac{(75\:\text{m/s})^2}{2(0.65\:\text{m/s}^2)}

\:\:\:\:\:= 4327\:\text{m}

Therefore, the total distance x is

x = x_1 + x_2 = 1125\:\text{m} + 4327\:\text{m}

\:\:\:\:= 5452\:\text{m}

newton's second law states that when a net force acts on an object, it accelerates it.Explain how it would be possible for two o
Alika [10]

Answer:

See Explanation

Explanation:

According to Newton's second law of motion, the acceleration of a body is proportional to the net external force that acts on the body.

A body accelerated when it is acted upon by an unbalanced net external force.

When the external forces acting on a body are balanced, the effect of each force is cancelled by the other hence the body is not accelerated according to Newton's second law.

A baseball pitcher throws the ball in a motion where there is rotation of the forearm about the elbow joint as well as other mov
Brums [2.3K]

Answer: 330.88 J

Explanation:

Given

Linear velocity of the ball, v = 17.1 m/s

Distance from the joint, d = 0.47 m

Moment of inertia, I = 0.5 kgm²

The rotational kinetic energy, KE(rot) of an object is given by

KE(rot) = 1/2Iw²

Also, the angular velocity is given

w = v/r

Firstly, we calculate the angular velocity. Since it's needed in calculating the Kinetic Energy

w = v/r

w = 17.1 / 0.47

w = 36.38 rad/s

Now, substituting the value of w, with the already given value of I in the equation, we have

KE(rot) = 1/2Iw²

KE(rot) = 1/2 * 0.5 * 36.38²

KE(rot) = 0.25 * 1323.5

KE(rot) = 330.88 J
