Answer:
1) f= 8.6 GHz
2) t= 0.2 ms
Explanation:
1)
- Since microwaves are electromagnetic waves, they move at the same speed as the light in vacuum, i.e. 3*10⁸ m/s.
- There exists a fixed relationship between the frequency (f) , the wavelength (λ) and the propagation speed in any wave, as follows:

- Replacing by the givens, and solving for f, we get:

⇒ f = 8.6 Ghz (with two significative figures)
2)
- Assuming that the microwaves travel at a constant speed in a straight line (behaving like rays) , we can apply the definition of average velocity, as follows:
where v= c= speed of light in vacuum = 3*10⁸ m/s
d= distance between mountaintops = 52 km = 52*10³ m

⇒ t = 0.2 ms (with two significative figures)
Answer: 1,600 seconds
Explanation:
31,360/9.8 = 3,200.
Then divide 3,200/2 = 1,600
Answer:
v = 79.2 m/s
Solution:
As per the question:
Mass of the object, m = 250 g = 0.250 kg
Angle, 
Coefficient of kinetic friction, 
Mass attached to the string, m = 0.200 kg
Distance, d = 30 cm = 0.03 m
Now,
The tension in the string is given by:
(1)
Also
T = m(g + a)
Thus eqn (1) can be written as:





Now, the speed is given by the third eqn of motion with initial velocity being zero:

where
u = initial velocity = 0
Thus
