Answer:

a) r = 182838000\,mi, b) r = 189162000\,mi

Explanation:

a) The distance between the center and one of the foci is:

c = \epsilon \cdot a

c = (0.017)\cdot (186000000\,mi)

c = 3162000\,mi

The shortest distance is:

r = a - c

r = 186000000\,mi -3162000\,mi

r = 182838000\,mi

b) The longest distance is:

r = a + c

r = 186000000\,mi +3162000\,mi

r = 189162000\,mi

Wave traveling at 330 m/sec has a wavelength of 4.3 meters. What is the frequency of this wave?
Rasek [7]

Answer:

76.74 Hz

Explanation:

Given:

Wave velocity ( v ) = 330 m / sec

wavelength ( λ ) = 4.3 m

We have to calculate Frequency ( f ):

We know:

v = λ / t [ f = 1 / t ]

v = λ f

= > f = v / λ

Putting values here we get:

= > f = 330 / 4.3 Hz

= > f = 3300 / 43 Hz

= > f = 76.74 Hz

Hence, frequency of sound is 76.74 Hz.

You are designing a ski jump ramp for the next Winter Olympics. You need to calculate the vertical height (h) from the starting
Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

h = 50.49 m

Explanation:

Data provided:

Speed of skier, u = 2.0 m/s

Maximum safe speed of the skier, v = 30.0 m/s

Mass of the skier, m = 85.0

Total work = 4000 J

Height from the starting gate = h

Now, from the law of conservation of energy

Total energy at the gate = total energy at the time maximum speed is reached

\frac{1}{2}mu^2+mgh=4000J+\frac{1}{2}mv^2

where, g is the acceleration due to the gravity

on substituting the values, we get

\frac{1}{2}\times85\times2.0^2+85\times9.81\times h=4000J+\frac{1}{2}\times85\times30^2

or

170 + 833.85 × h = 4000 + 38250

or

h = 50.49 m
