Answer:

option C

Explanation:

given,

height of the hammer, h = 2 m

acceleration due to gravity of the moon, g = 1.62 m/s²

time taken by the hammer to reach at bottom = ?

initial speed of the hammer, u = 0 m/s

using equation of motion for the time calculation

s = ut + \dfrac{1}{2}gt^2

2 = 0+\dfrac{1}{2}\times 1.62\times t^2

    t² = 2.469

     t = 1.57 s ≅ 1.6 s

hence, the time taken by the hammer to reach the bottom is equal to 1.6 s.

The correct answer is option C

“Is it correct to say that a radio wave can be considered a low-frequency light wave?
klio [65]

It's weird but technically correct to say that a radio wave can be considered a low-frequency light wave.  Radio and light are both electromagnetic waves.  The only difference is that radio waves have much much much longer wavelengths, and much much much lower frequencies, than light waves have.  But they're both the same physical phenomenon.

However, a radio wave CAN'T also be considered to be a sound wave.  These two things are as different as two waves can be.

-- Radio is an electromagnetic wave. Sound is a mechanical wave.

-- Radio waves travel more than 800 thousand times faster than sound waves do.

-- Radio waves are transverse waves. Sound waves are longitudinal waves.

-- Radio waves can travel through empty space. Sound waves need material stuff to travel through.

-- Radio waves can be detected by radio, TV, and microwave receivers. Sound waves can't.

-- Sound waves can be detected by our ears. Radio waves can't.

-- Sound waves can be generated by talking, or by hitting a frying pan with a spoon. Radio waves can't.

-- Radio waves can be generated by an alternating current flowing through an isolated wire. Sound waves can't.

Which of the following factors would affect the weather patterns of a region?
pav-90 [236]

Answer:

D) All of those

Explanation:

You can use "LOWER Near water" to remember that factors which affect the weather patterns of a region.

Latitude. It tends to be hotter when closer to the equator.

Ocean currents. The temperature of the ocean can come from far away and affect the temperature of the air in a new location.

Wind and air mass. Air masses, blown by the wind, change the weather in an area depending on where it was formed.

Elevation, which is the same as altitude. It tends to be colder higher up.

Relief. When mountains block wind and precipitation on one side, making the other side have "relief" on the leeward side.

Near water. Temperature is more moderate because water does not change temperature as fast.
