A).  600,000 Hz  or  600 KHz
Yes.  Commercial broadcasters operate here.
This is the '600' on your AM radio dial.

B).  60 Hz
No.  In principle, this frequency might be used for communication or
commercial broadcasting, but it suffers from two inconvenient truths:
-- An efficient antenna for 60 Hz ... either transmitting or receiving ...
needs to be almost 780 miles long.
-- This is the frequency of the electric power utility in the US and
Canada, so every outlet, wire, cable, lamp cord, and electric line
on a pole RADIATES a little bit of signal at this frequency.  That's
an awful lot of interference.

C).  6,000,000 Hz  or  6 MHz
There's a lot of broadcasting activity here, but it's not commercial
music, news, and sports into local homes and cars. 
It's foreign short-wave broadcast, bringing news, propaganda, and
culture from one country to another.  Pretty interesting to browse.

D).  6,000 Hz  or  6 KHz.
No.  Not used for communication, for an interesting reason:
This frequency is smack in the middle of the human hearing range.
So if it were used for communication ... with high-power transmitters
here and there ... then you wouldn't hear it in the air.  But wherever
wires were being used to carry sound ... your stereo's speaker wires,
wires from your player to your ear-buds, wires to the telephones in
your house etc ... the wires would act as antennas, picking up 
broadcasts at 6 KHz, and the broadcasts would get into everything.
Not a smart plan.

On page 103 it explains that The radio frequencies used by  commercial radio broadcasting stations range from about 550,000 Hz to 1,700,000 Hz. So the correct answer is A. 600,000 Hz

Why is it necessary to centrifuge out any precipitate formed in the unknown solution and continue testing the remaining unknown
jonny [76]

Answer:

Precipitation is the formation of a solid from a solution. It is necessary to centrifuge the precipitate to exert sufficient forces of gravity to bring the solid particles in the solution to come together and settle

Explanation:

When you centrifuge precipitate it enables the nucleation to form.

Centrifuging the precipitate helps in determining whether a certain element is present in a solution or not.

Which wave, A or B, has lower energy? A, because it has a higher amplitude B, because it has a higher amplitude A, because it ha
frutty [35]

Energy of wave depends on its amplitude and it is given as

E = \frac{1}{2} kA^2

here k = constant

A = amplitude

so energy will increase or decrease depends on the amplitude of the wave

So here if we need to check which wave has lower energy then we need to compare the amplitude.

If the amplitude is less then energy must be less

So please check in the figure that which wave out of A and B has lesser amplitude to find out the wave of lesser energy

aliaa is skating down a ramp. the wheels on her skateboard have diameters of 60 \text{ mm}60 mm60, start text, space, m, m, end
GarryVolchara [31]

The total distance traveled by Aliaa using her skateboard for 20 revolution of the wheels is equal to 3770 millimeters.

<u>Given the following data:</u>

Diameter of skateboard = 60 mm.

Number of revolution = 20 revolutions.

Radius = diameter/2 = 60/2 = 30 mm.

<h3>What is distance?</h3>

Distance can be defined as the amount of ground covered (traveled) by a physical object over a specific period of time and speed, regardless of its direction, starting point or ending point.

For one revolution of the wheels, the distance traveled by Aliaa using her skateboard is given by:

Distance = 2πr

Distance = 2 × 3.142 × 30

Distance = 188.5 mm.

Therefore, the total distance traveled by Aliaa using her skateboard for 20 revolution of the wheels is given by:

Distance = 188.5 × 20

Distance = 3770 millimeters.

A(n) _____ is the vertical, upper portion above the topmost fixture through which gasses and odors escape the sanitary drainage
Karolina [17]

Answer;

-A vent stack

Explanation;

-A vent stack is best described by, the vertical, upper portion above the top-most fixture through which gases and odors escape the sanitary drainage system, carrying no liquids or solids.

-The vent stack usually runs parallel with the soil/waste stack and may either extend up through the roof or connect to a stack vent. While a stack vent is the uppermost portion of a soil/waste stack that continues the pipe from above the highest connected fixture out the roof.
