Answer:

The frequency of the wave is 5 x 10⁹ Hz

Explanation:

Given;

wavelength of the radio wave, λ = 6.0 × 10⁻²m

radio wave is an example of electromagnetic wave, and electromagnetic waves travel with speed of light, which is equal to 3 x 10⁸ m/s².

Applying wave equation;

V = F λ

where;

V is the speed of the wave

F is the frequency of the wave

λ is the wavelength

Make F the subject of the formula

F = V / λ

F = (3 x 10⁸) / (6.0 × 10⁻²)

F = 5 x 10⁹ Hz

Therefore, the frequency of the wave is 5 x 10⁹ Hz

Answer:

$\boxed{\text{\sf \Large 3.0 s}}$

Explanation:

Use distance formula

$\displaystyle d=ut+\frac{1}{2} at^2$

$u= \text{\sf initial velocity}\\d= \text{\sf distance}\\a= \text{\sf acceleration}\\t= \text{\sf time taken}$

$\displaystyle 18=0 \times t+\frac{1}{2} \times 4 \times t^2$

$t=3$

An object dropped on Planet P falls 144 m in 6 seconds. What is the gravitational acceleration of Planet P ? Gravitational accel

Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

The gravitational acceleration of the planet is, g = 8 m/s²

Explanation:

Given data,

The distance the object falls, s = 144 m

The time taken by the object is, t = 6 s

Using the III equations of motion

S = ut + ½ gt²

∴ g = 2S/t²

Substituting the given values,

g = 2 x 144 /6²

= 8 m/s²

Hence, the gravitational acceleration of the planet is, g = 8 m/s²
