Answer:

The wavelength of these signals is as follow:

  • Wavelength of 550 kHz is 545.45 m
  • Wavelength of 1600 kHz is 187.5 m

Explanation:

Given that:

Frequency = 550 kHz & 1600 kHz

Velocity = 3.0 x 10⁸ m/s

As we know that frequency is expressed by the following equation:

  • Frequency = Velocity / Wavelength ---- (1)

For 550 kHz:

The equation can be rearranged as

Wavelength = Velocity / Frequency

Wavelength = (3.0 x 10⁸ m/s) / (550 x 1000 Hz)

Wavelength = 545.45 m

For 1600 kHz:

Wavelength = Velocity / Frequency

Wavelength = (3.0 x 10⁸ m/s) / (1600 x 1000 Hz)

Wavelength = 187.5 m

How much force is needed to accelerate a 68 kilogram skier at a rate of 1.2m/sec
xxMikexx [17]

Let's use Newton's 2nd law of motion:

                                     Force = (mass) x (acceleration)

                                     Force = (68 kg) x (1.2 m/s²) =  81.6 newtons .

A car travels across Texas m miles at the rate of t miles per hour. How many hours does the trip take??
Marianna [84]

Answer: The trip takes \frac{m}{t}hours

Explanation:

Velocity V is the variation of the position of a body (distance traveled d) with time T:

V=\frac{d}{T}

In this case, the car travels a distance d=m miles at a velocity V=t \frac{miles}{hour} and we need to find the time it takes the trip.

Isolating  T:

T=\frac{d}{V}=\frac{m miles}{t \frac{miles}{hour}}

Finally:

T=\frac{m}{t}hours
