Answer:

a. 0.18Hz

b. 0.56m/s

Explanation:

From the question we can deduct the following parameters

The wavelength, λ is define as the distance between two successful crest or trough and from the question we conclude that wavelength is 3.17m.

Also the period of the wave T can be computed as

T=22.6/4

T=5.65secs.

a. To compute the frequency, recall that frequency, F=1/period.

Hence,

F=1/5.65

F=0.18Hz

b. Next we compute the wave speed.

Wave speed=frequency *wavelength

Wave speed =0.18*3.17

Wave speed =0.56m/s

How does the atmosphere’s interaction with different wavelengths of light help to protect life on earth?
marishachu [46]

Answer:

Ozone layer in the upper atmosphere filters most of the harmful radiations of shorter wavelength. It actually absorbs the hazardous radiations like ultraviolet, gamma rays, x- rays and most of all those having shorter wavelength then the visible light. That's how the earth's atmosphere protects life on earth. But unfortunately, climate change and global warming is causing the depletion of ozone layer which is causing skin related diseases and harming not only the human life but also the plants and animals.

A rocket-launching vehicle is moving forward at a constant velocity of 5 m/s. a cannon on the vehicle shoots a shell straight up
Readme [11.4K]
For any object thrown upwards where only the force of gravity is acting upon it, uses the following formula for the maximum height attained.

H= v²/2g, where g = 9.81 m/s²

There are two information of velocities are given. However, we use the 20 m/s information because this is the launch velocity. Hence, the solution is as follows:

H = (20 m/s)²/2(9.81 m/s²)
<em>H = 20.4 m</em>

A small airplane with a wingspan of 18.0 m is flying due north at a speed of 63.6 m/s over a region where the vertical component
choli [55]

Answer:

(a) ε = 1373.8.

(b) The wingtip which is at higher potential.

Explanation:

(a) Finding the potential difference between the airplane wingtips.

Given the parameters

wingspan of the plane is = 18.0m

speed of the plane in north direction is = 70.0m/s

magnetic field of the earth is = 1.20μT

The potential difference is given as:

ε = Blv

where ε = potential difference of wingtips

B = magnetic field of earth

l = wingspan of airplane

v = speed of airplane

ε = 1.2 x 18.0 x 63.6

ε  = 1373.8

(b) Which wingtip is at  higher potential?

The wingtip which is at higher potential.
