Answer:

The wavelength of the wave is tripled this can be done by reducing the frequency of the wave by factor of three.

Explanation :

The relation between the wavelength & frequency of a wave is given by

C = ν λ

Where

C - it is the velocity of light in vacuum.

ν - frequency of the wave.

λ - wavelength of the wave.

So we find that wavelength of a wave varies inversely with the frequency of a wave i.e. ν ∝ 1/λ.

A diet is to contain at least 2400 mg vitamin C, 1800mg Calcium, and 1200 calories every day. Two foods, a dairy-based meal and

Kay [80]

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

Let x represent the number of ounce of dairy based meal and let y represent the number of vegan option in ounce.

Since the diet must contain at least 2400 mg vitamin C, therefore:

50x + 20y ≥ 2400

Since the diet must contain at least 1800 mg Calcium, therefore:

30x + 20y ≥ 1200

Since the diet must contain at least 1200 calories, therefore:

10x + 40y ≥ 1200

Therefore the constraints are:

50x + 20y ≥ 2400

30x + 20y ≥ 1200

10x + 40y ≥ 1200

x > 0, y > 0

The graph was drawn using geogebra online graphing tool, and the solution to the problem is at:

C(30, 45) and D(48, 18)

dairy-based meal costs $0.042 per ounce and the vegan option costs $0.208 per ounce. The cost equation is:

Cost = 0.042x + 0.208y

At C(30, 45); Cost = 0.042(30) + 0.208(45) = $10.62

At C(48, 18); Cost = 0.042(48) + 0.208(18) = $5.76

The minimum cost is at (48, 18). That is 48 dairy based meal and 18 vegan

A particular 12 V car battery can send a total charge of 110 A·h (ampere-hours) through a circuit, from one terminal to the othe

DiKsa [7]

<h2>Answer:</h2>

(a) 3.96 x 10⁵C

(b) 4.752 x 10⁶ J

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

(a) The given charge (Q) is 110 A·h (ampere hour)

Converting this to A·s (ampere second) gives the number of coulombs the charge represents. This is done as follows;

=> Q = 110A·h

=> Q = 110 x 1A x 1h [1 hour = 3600 seconds]

=> Q = 110 x A x 3600s

=> Q = 396000A·s

=> Q = 3.96 x 10⁵A·s = 3.96 x 10⁵C

Therefore, the number of coulombs of charge is 3.96 x 10⁵C

(b) The energy (E) involved in the process is given by;

E = Q x V -----------------(i)

Where;

Q = magnitude of the charge = 3.96 x 10⁵C

V = electric potential = 12V

Substitute these values into equation (i) as follows;

E = 3.96 x 10⁵ x 12

E = 47.52 x 10⁵ J

E = 4.752 x 10⁶ J

Therefore, the amount of energy involved is 4.752 x 10⁶ J

Sindrei [870]

The answer that best fits the blank is the term WAXING. The moon is waxing whenever it reaches to the period that its phases are transitioning from new to full. The answer is the first option. This is when it is more that half is illuminated. Hope this helps.

An automobile travels on a straight road for 42 km at 45 km/h. it then continues in the same direction for another 42 km at 90 k

Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

a) The average velocity is v = (60 km/h ; 0)

b) The average speed is 60 km/h

Explanation:

The velocity is a vector that has a magnitude and direction. The average speed is the distance traveled over time without taking into account the direction of the motion.

a)The average velocity is calculated as the displacement over time:

v = Δx/Δt

where

v = velocity

Δx = final position - initial position = traveled distance relative to the center of the reference system.

Δt = final time - initial time (initial time is usually = 0)

We know that the displacement is 84 km but we do not know the time. It can be calculated from the two parts of the trip.

In part 1:

v = 45 km/h = 42 km / t

t = 0.93 h

In part 2:

v = 90 km/h = 42 km / t

t = 42 km / 90 km/h

t = 0.47 h

The time of travel is 0.47 h + 0.93 h = 1.4 h

The average velocity will be:

v = 84 km / 1.4 h = 60 km/h

Expressed as a vector in a 2-dimension plane:

v = (60 km/h; 0)

b) The average speed is calculated as the distance traveled over time. Note that in this case, the distance is equal to the displacement since the direction of the motion is always in one direction. But if the direction of the second part of the trip would have been the opposite to the direction of the first part, the displacement would have been 0 (final position - initial position = 0, because final position = initial position), then, the average velocity would have been 0. In change, the average speed would have been the distance traveled (84 km, 42 km in one direction and 42 km in the other) over time.

Then:

average speed = 84 km / 1.4 h = 60 km/h

c) see attached figure.
