Answer:

187.37 m

Explanation:

The wavelength of an electromagnetic wave is given by:

\lambda=\frac{c}{f}

where

c is the speed of light

f is the frequency

We see that the wavelength is inversely proportional to the frequency: this means that the shortest am wavelength will occur at the highest am frequency, which is

f=1600 kHz = 1600 \cdot 10^3 Hz

And substituting also the speed of light

c=2.99792 \cdot 10^8 m/s

We find the wavelength:

\lambda=\frac{2.99792 \cdot 10^8 m/s}{1600\cdot 10^3 Hz}=187.37 m

Nitrogen is used to protect steel from water because nitrogen has ________.
tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

Nitrogen is used to protect steel from water because nitrogen has low reactivity.

Explanation:

Nitrogen is very low reactive element because it forms a gas when triple bond between two Nitrogen atoms. Due to low reactivity of Nitrogen the water does not react with the nitrogen and steel as well. So, for protection of steel Nitrogen is used.

2. A 2kg body attached to a spring undergoes a SHM of amplitude 0.4m and period
Rudik [331]

Answer:

a) 12.8 N

b) 3.2 m/s²

Explanation:

I'm guessing the period is 0.5π s.

Period of a spring in simple harmonic motion is:

T = 2π √(m/k)

Given T = 0.5π and m = 2 kg:

0.5π = 2π √(2/k)

0.25 = √(2/k)

0.0625 = 2/k

k = 32

The spring constant is 32 N/m, and the maximum displacement is 0.4 m.  The maximum force can be found with Hooke's law:

F = kx

F = (32 N/m) (0.4 m)

F = 12.8 N

The acceleration can be found with Newton's second law:

∑F = ma

kx = ma

(32 N/m) (0.2 m) = (2 kg) a

a = 3.2 m/s²

The speed of a car is decreased uniformly from 30. meters per second to 10. meters per second in 4.0 seconds. What was the car's
masha68 [24]
Acceleration (magnitude anyway) = (change in speed) / (time for the change) .

Change in speed = (10 - 30) = -20 m/s

Time for the change = 4.0sec

Magnitude of acceleration = -20/4  =  <em>-5 m/s² </em>
