1 answer:
Answer:
The magnitude of change in momentum is (2mv).
Explanation:
The momentum of an object is given by the product of mass and velocity with which it is moving.
Let the mass of ball is m. A tennis player smashes a ball of mass m horizontally at a vertical wall. The ball rebounds at the same speed v with which it struck the wall.
Initial speed of the ball is v and final speed, when it rebounds, is (-v). The change in momentum is given by :
p = final momentum - initial momentum
So, the magnitude of change in momentum is (2mv).

(a) 10 GHz is the frequency of microwave radiation.
(b) 0.167 ms is required by the microwave to travel between two mountains.
Answer:
Explanation:
(a). 1 MHz is the frequency of microwave radiation.
(b) 0.167 ms is required by the microwave to travel between two mountains.
Answer:
Explanation:
a. Frequency is the measure of number of times a same thing will be repeated in a given time interval for a given time. And wavelength is the measure of distance between two successive crests or troughs. So wavelength and frequency are inversely proportional to each other. And velocity of light is the proportionality constant.
So frequency of microwave radiation = Speed of light/Wavelength of radiation
Frequency =
Frequency =
So 10 GHz is the frequency of microwave radiation.
b). As microwave is a part of light waves, so it will be experiencing the speed of light.
As the speed is 3* m/s and the distance between the two mountains is given as 50 km, then time can be calculated as
Time = Distance/Velocity
Time =
So time = 0.167 ms.
Thus, 0.167 ms is required by the microwave to travel between two mountains.
