<h2>Answer: C) He could have thrown the bag of money sideways, creating a horizontal reaction force on himself.</h2>

Explanation:

According to Newton's third law of motion, when two bodies interact between them, appear equal forces and opposite senses in each of them.

To understand it better:

Each time a body or object exerts a force on a second body or object, it (the second body) will exert a force of equal magnitude and direction but in the opposite direction on the first.

So, if the rich man had pushed the bag of money horizontally opposite of where he was, he could have saved himself.

The ratio of the wavelength of AM radio waves traveling in a vacuum to the wavelength of FM radio waves traveling in a vacuum is

Debora [2.8K]

This question is a big fat non sequitur !

The wavelength of radio waves traveling through vacuum only depends on the frequency that the radio station is licensed to broadcast on, (which had better be the frequency of the transmitter that they buy and use, or they're in big trouble).

The wavelength does NOT depend on the type of modulation that's used to put information onto the signal.

An amateur radio (ham) operator may very well start out using FM to talk over his radio to somebody else, and then for some reason they may decide to switch to AM. They can do that without ANY change in the wavelength of their transmissions.

Now, in the USA and many other countries, it so happens that all AM stations are licensed by their governments to transmit their programs on a channel somewhere between 500 KHz and 1.6 MHz, and all FM stations are licensed by their governments to transmit their programs on a channel somewhere between 88 MHz and 108 MHz. (And THAT's what the radio receivers in these countries are built to receive.)

Then we might say that all of the AM stations are grouped around 1 MHz, and all of the FM stations are grouped around 100 MHz. The FM frequencies are very roughly 100 times the AM frequencies, so the AM wavelengths are very roughly 100 times the FM wavelengths. That's <em>choice (3)</em> .

But please don't get the idea that it has anything to do with using AM or FM technology. It's just a matter of where in the spectrum the government decided to put the AM stations and where they put the FM stations.

For that matter . . . An analog TV station uses an AM signal for the picture and an FM signal for the sound, and it all goes in the same channel, with just about the same wavelengths !

1) Find the voltage on a circuit with a resistance of 12.5 Ω if it has a current of 2.35 A.

KengaRu [80]

1. The voltage on the circuit with a resistance of 12.5 Ω and current of 2.35 A is 29.4 V.

2.The resistance in the circuit is found to be 1.45 Ω.

3. The equivalent resistance of the resistors connected in series is 24 Ω.

4. The equivalent resistance of the resistors connected in parallel is 2.18Ω.

5. The power generated is 552.5 W.

6. The frequency of the green light is 0.56×10¹⁵ Hz.

Explanation:

1) This problem can be solved using Ohm's law. Here the resistance (R) of the circuit is given to be 12.5 Ω and the current (I) is stated to be 2.35 A. So the ohm's law states that in a closed circuit, the voltage will be directly proportional to the current flowing in the circuit and the resistance will act as the proportionality constant.

$V = I * R = 2.35*12.5 = 29.4 V$

So, the voltage on the circuit with a resistance of 12.5 Ω and current of 2.35 A is 29.4 V.

2) Using the same Ohms' law, now we have to determine the resistance. So in this case, the voltage is given as 9 V and the current is said to be 6.2 A, then resistance can be determined as the ratio of voltage to current.

$R = \frac{V}{I} =\frac{9}{6.2} =1.45 Ohms$

So, the resistance in the circuit is found to be 1.45 Ω.

3) Here, the resistances of three resistors are given as 4 Ω, 8 Ω and 12 Ω. And it is stated that the resistances are connected or wired in series. Then the equivalent resistance will be obtained by the sum of resistances of three resistors, as the current flow will be constant in all the three resistors.

$R_{s} = R_{1} + R_{2} + R_{3} \\ \\R_{s} = 4+8+12 = 24 ohms$

Thus, the equivalent resistance of the resistors connected in series is 24 Ω.

4) Now, if the resistors are connected in parallel, then the equivalent resistance will be ratio of product of resistances to the sum of the resistances.

$\frac{1}{R_{p} }= \frac{1}{R_{1} } + \frac{1}{R_{2} } +\frac{1}{R_{3} }\\\\\frac{1}{R_{p} }=\frac{1}{4}+ \frac{1}{8} +\frac{1}{12} = \frac{6+3+2}{24} =\frac{11}{24} \\\\R_{p} = \frac{24}{11 } =2.18 Ohm$

Thus, the equivalent resistance of the resistors connected in parallel is 2.18Ω.

5) Power generated by the person can be obtained by the ratio of work done by the person to the time in which the work is done. So the work done can be obtained by the product of force with displacement.

As here the weight lifted by the person will act as dominant force on the person. So the force is considered as F = 956 N and the displacement is d = 2.41 m, then

$Work done = Force * displacement = 956*2.41 =2303.96 J$

So, the work done is obtained as 2303.96 J and the time is given as 4.17 s, then

$Power = \frac{Work done}{Time} =\frac{2303.96}{4.17} =552.5 W$

So, the power generated is 552.5 W.

6) In this, the wavelength of green light is given as 5.34 × 10⁻⁷ m. It is known that the wavelength is inversely proportional to the frequency.

$Wavelength = \frac{Speed of light}{Frequency}$

As, speed of light is known as 3×10⁸ m/s, the frequency will be determined as the ratio of speed of light to wavelength.

$Frequency = \frac{Speed of light}{Wavelength} =\frac{3*10^{8} }{5.34*10^{-7} } \\\\Frequency =0.56*10^{15} Hz$

Thus, the frequency of the green light is 0.56×10¹⁵ Hz.
