A) the electrode at which oxidation takes place
The Newton’s law that explains why the hands get red when you press them hard against a wall is Newton’s third law. When one body exerts a force on a second body, the second body simultaneously exerts a force equal in magnitude and opposite direction on the first body.
Answer:
(a) 89 m/s
(b) 11000 N
Explanation:
Note that answers are given to 2 significant figures which is what we have in the values in the question.
(a) Speed is given by the ratio of distance to time. In the question, the time given was the time it took the pulse to travel the length of the cable twice. Thus, the distance travelled is twice the length of the cable.

(b) The tension,
, is given by

where
is the speed,
is the tension and
is the mass per unit length.
Hence,

To determine
, we need to know the mass of the cable. We use the density formula:

where
is the mass and
is the volume.

If the length is denoted by
, then


The density of steel = 8050 kg/m3
The cable is approximately a cylinder with diameter 1.5 cm and length or height of 620 m. Its volume is




“The term significant figures refers to the number of important single digits (0 through 9 inclusive) in the coefficient of an expression in scientific notation . The number of significant figures in an expression indicates the confidence or precision with which an engineer or scientist states a quantity.”
Answer: Option B
The wavelength for a radio wave with a frequency of 2 × 10⁴ Hz is
1.5 × 10⁴ m.
Explanation:
Wavelength is the measure of distance between two successive crests or troughs in a standing wave. Also wavelength can be measured as the ratio of velocity of light to frequency. It is like this because wavelength is inversely proportional to the frequency.

As c = 3 × 10⁸ m/s and the frequency is 2 × 10⁴ Hz, then the wavelength will be

So, the wavelength for a radio wave with a frequency of 2 × 10⁴ Hz is
1.5 × 10⁴ m.
