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

Elabora una tabla, como la del ejemplo, con los resultados obtenidos en los test que desarrollaste en actividades anteriores. Lu
rodikova [14]

Explanation:

Clear rendering reads;

"Make a table, like the one in the example, with the results obtained in the tests you carried out in previous activities. Then answer: What do these results indicate regarding your physical condition and how do they relate to your health? From your answers, consider the challenge of improving your physical condition by maintaining or improving your exercise routine or permanent practice of physical activity".

So the incomplete text above it seems you've been instructed to perform an experiment and then state your result/analysis.

An airplane flying at 115 m/s due east makes a gradual turn following a circular path to fly south. The turn takes 15 seconds to
bulgar [2K]

To solve this exercise it is necessary to apply the concepts related to Centripetal and Perimeter acceleration of a circle.

The perimeter of a circle is defined by

P = 2\pi r

Where,

r= radius

While centripetal acceleration is defined by

a=\frac{v^2}{r}

Where,

v= velocity

r= radius

PART A)

The distance of a body can be defined based on the speed and the time traveled, that is

x = v*t

For our values the distance is equal to

x = 15*115=1725m

The plane when going to make the turn from east to south makes a quarter of the circumference that is

\frac{P}{4} = \frac{2\pi r}{4}

The same route you take is the distance traveled, that is

x = \frac{P}{4}

x = \frac{2\pi r}{4}

1725 = \frac{2\pi r}{4}

r = 1098.17m

PART B)

With the radius is possible calculate he centripetal acceleration,

a = \frac{v^2}{r}

a = \frac{115^2}{1098.17}

a = 12.04m/s^2

Therefore the radius of the curva that the plane follows in making the turn is 1098.17m with a centripetal acceleration of 12.04m/s^2
