Explanation:

Newton's first law of motion states: "an object in motion stays in motion, and an object at rest stays at rest, until acted upon by an unbalanced force."

When you're riding in a vehicle, your body is moving forward. When the vehicle slows or turns, your body's inertia continues to move you forward. The seatbelt is the unbalanced force that pushes you back into your seat. Without it, you would slide off your seat.

What is the wavelength (in air) of a 13.0 khz vlf radio wave?

bonufazy [111]

Since,
Speed = Frequency * WaveLength

=> WaveLength = Speed / Frequency --- (A)

Frequency = 13.0 kHz.
As the radio waves are electromagnetic waves, their speed is equals to the speed of light. Therefore,
Speed = C = $3 * 10^{8} m/ s^{2}$

Plug in the values in equation(A):

A => WaveLength = $\frac{3 * 10^{8}}{13*10^{3}}$

Ans: Wavelength = 23.077 kilometers.

Nastasia [14]

Answer:

Coefficient of friction will be 0.587

Explanation:

We have given mass of the car m = 500 kg

Distance s = 18.25 m

Initial velocity of the car u = 14.5 m/sec

As the car finally stops so final velocity v = 0 m/sec

From second equation of motion
