The Net force is 280 N (300-120). The acceleration = force / mass = 280 / 45 = 6.2 m/s^2

A radio have a wavelength of 0.3m and travels at a speed of 300,000,000 m/s. What is the frequency of this wave?

Ilya [14]

The frequency of the wave is $1\cdot 10^9 Hz$

Explanation:

The frequency, the wavelength and the speed of a wave are related by the following equation:

$c=f \lambda$

where

c is the speed of the wave

f is the frequency

$\lambda$ is the wavelength

For the radio wave in this problem,

$\lambda = 0.3 m$

$c=300,000,000 m/s = 3\cdot 10^8 m/s$

Therefore, the frequency is:

$f=\frac{c}{\lambda}=\frac{3\cdot 10^8}{0.3}=1\cdot 10^9 Hz$

Scientists measure the time between the arrival of an earthquake's __P____ and ___S____ waves to help determine the distance between the recording seismograph and the earthquake epicenter.

Explanation:

P- (compressional) and S- (shear) waves produced in earthquakes travel at different speeds. P waves are faster than S waves and hence will be detected first by a seismograph after an earthquake. The further away a seismograph is from the epicenter of an earthquake, the longer the time difference between the two (2) waves will be.

Using several, at least 3, seismographs located at different geoghraphical locations and detecting earthquakes, geologists can extrapolate the epicenter of an earthquake using the time differences in arrivals of the two waves in each of the seismographs, using the mathematics of triangulation.
