Wavelength = (speed) / (frequency)

Speed of radio in air = approximately 3 x 10⁸ m/s

Cell phone:  Frequency = 1.9 GHz = 1.9 x 10⁹ Hz

Wavelength = (3 x 10⁸ m/s) / (1.9 x 10⁹ /sec) = 15.79 cm (6.2 inches)



WHAM:  Frequency = 1180 KHz = 1.18 x 10⁶ Hz

Wavelength = (3 x 10⁸ m/s) / (1.18 x 10⁶ /sec) = 254.2 meters (0.16 mile)


I KNOW there must be somebody around here from Rochester NY.
My roomie and I used to wake up to WHAM when we were in college there.

When a sinusoidal wave with speed 20 m/s , wavelength 35 cm and amplitude of 1.0 cm passes, what is the maximum speed of a point
vova2212 [387]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to frequency as a function of speed and wavelength as well as the kinematic equations of simple harmonic motion

From the definition we know that the frequency can be expressed as

f = \frac{v}{\lambda}

Where,

v = Velocity \rightarrow 20m/s

\lambda = Wavelength \rightarrow 35*10^{-2}m

Therefore the frequency would be given as

f = \frac{20}{35*10^{-2}}

f = 57.14Hz

The frequency is directly proportional to the angular velocity therefore

\omega = 2\pi f

\omega = 2\pi *57.14

\omega = 359.03rad/s

Now the maximum speed from the simple harmonic movement is given by

V_{max} = A\omega

Where

A = Amplitude

Then replacing,

V_{max} = (1*10^{-2})(359.03)

V_{max} = 3.59m/s

Therefore the maximum speed of a point on the string is 3.59m/s

How is frequency related to the sound we hear?
Leviafan [203]
Frequency is the vibration of noise and the vibration determines the pitch, which we depend on to be a pitch or frequency we can hear. If it's too high or too low our ears can't hear it

An airplane is being pushed West by its engines with a force of 350 N as it starts to take off the runway at the Atlanta airport
Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

option C

Explanation:

given,

Force by the engine on plane in West direction = 350 N

Frictional force on the runway = 100 N in east

force exerted by the wind = 100 N in east

net force and direction = ?

consider west to be positive and east be negative.

when airplane will be moving there will be frictional as well as wind resistance will be acting in opposite direction of airplane

Net force = 350 N - 100 N - 100 N

                 = 150 N

as our answer comes out to be positive so the airplane will be moving in West

hence, the correct answer is option C

an automobile engineer found that the impact of a truck colliding at 16 km/h with a concrete pillar caused the bumper to indent
Zolol [24]
<span>To find the acceleration we are given two facts to begin. The impact at 16 km/h and the dent of 6.4 cm, or 0.064 meters. In solving the problem uniform acceleration is assumed, which would mean the avg speed during the impact was 8 km/hr by taking 16/2. We know distance = rate*time (d=r*t) . So t = d / r, so 0.64/8 = 0.008hr for t. Now we can solve for acceleration by taking a = 16 / 0.008 = 2000 km/hr.</span>
