Answer:

1. the electromagnetic wave.

Explanation:

Mathematically,

wavelength = velocity ÷ frequency

A mechanical wave is a wave that is not capable of transmitting its energy through a vacuum. Mechanical waves require a medium in order to transport their energy from one location to another. A sound wave is an example of a mechanical wave. Sound waves are incapable of traveling through a vacuum.

Electromagnetic waves of different frequency are called by different names since they have different sources and effects on matter, increasing frequency decreases wavelength.

Sound waves (which obviously travel at the speed of sound) are much slower than electromagnetic waves (which travel at the speed of light.)  

Electromagnetic waves are much faster than sound waves and If the Velocity of the wave increases and the frequency is constant, the wavelength also increases.

A cyclist accelerates from a velocity of 10 miles/hour east until reaching a velocity of 20 miles/hour east in 5 seconds. What w
Sliva [168]

Answer:

a = 0.894\ m/s^2

Explanation:

<u>Motion with Constant Acceleration</u>

A body moves with constant acceleration when the speed changes uniformly in time. The equation used to find the final speed vf is

v_f=v_o+at

Where vo is the initial speed, a is the acceleration, and t is the time.

The cyclist has an initial speed of vo=10 miles/hour and ends up at vf=20 miles/hour in t=5 seconds.

Both speeds are given in miles/hour and we must convert it to m/s:

1 mile/hour = 0.44704 m/s

10 mile/hour = 4.47 m/s

20 mile/hour = 8.94 m/s

The acceleration is calculated by solving for a:

\displaystyle a=\frac{v_f-v_o}{t}

\displaystyle a=\frac{8.94-4.47}{5}

a = 0.894\ m/s^2

A car changes speed from 25 m/s to 10 m/s in 240 seconds. Describe its acceleration.​
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Explanation:

Acceleration is change in velocity over change in time:

a = Δv / Δt

a = (10 m/s - 25 m/s) / (240 s - 0 s)

a = -0.0625 m/s²

So the car decelerates at 0.0625 m/s².

A motorboat heads due east at 16 m/s across a river that flows due south at 9.0 m/s. a.) What is the resultant velocity of the b
alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

a)V=18.35 m/s (South -East)

b) t =7.41 m/s

c)D= 66.70 m

Explanation:

Given that

Velocity of boat in east direction = 16 m/s

Velocity of river = 9 m/s

a)The resultant velocity V

V=\sqrt{16^2+9^2}\ m/s

V=18.35 m/s (South -East)

b)

We know that

Distance = Velocity x time

Lets t time takes to cross the river

136 = 18.35 x t

t =7.41 m/s

c)

   The distance covered downstream  

We know that

Distance = Velocity x time

t= 7.41 s

D= 7.41 x 9 m

D= 66.70 m

Calculate the number of free electrons and holes (in m-3) in an intrinsic semiconductor that has electron and hole mobilities of
allochka39001 [22]

Answer:

ni = 2.04e19

Explanation:

we know that in semiconductor like intrinsic, when electron leave the band, it leave a hole in valence band so we have

n = p = ni

from intrinsic carrier concentration

\sigma = n\left | e \right | \mu_e + n\left | e \right | \mu_h

\sigma = ni\left | e \right | \mu_e  + ni\left | e \right | \mu_h

\sigma = ni \left | e \right | ( \mu_e + \mu_h)

1.7 = ni * 1.6*10^{-19} * (.35 + .17)

ni = 2.014 *10^{19} m^{-3}

ni = 2.04e19
