Answer:

1190 N

Explanation:

Force: This can be defined as the product of mass and velocity. The unit of force is Newton(N).

From the question,

F = ma................. Equation 1

Where F = average force, m = mass, a = acceleration.

But,

a = (v-u)/t................ Equation 2

Where v = final velocity, u = initial velocity, t = time.

Substitute equation 2 into equation 1

F = m(v-u)/t.............. Equation 3

Given: m = 70 kg, v = 1.7 m/s, u = 0 m/s (from rest), t = 0.1 s.

Substitute into equation 3

F = 70(1.7-0)/0.1

F = 1190 N.

A light wave travels through space at a speed of 3 x 108 m/s. If the wavelength of some light wave is 2 x10-3 m, what is the fre
kifflom [539]

Here is your answer

b) \huge 1.5× {10}^{11} Hz

REASON :

We know that

Velocity= Frequency× Wavelength

So,

Frequency= Velocity/wavelength

Here,

V= 3× 10^8 m/s

Wavelength= 2×10^-3 m

Hence,

Frequency= 3×10^8/2×10^-3

= 3/2 × 10^11

= 1.5× 10^11 Hz

What are stars made of?<br> How do they expand?<br> How do they explode?
lutik1710 [3]
Stars are made of very hot gas. This gas is mostly hydrogen and helium, which are the two lightest elements,  star is in a delicate and fragile balance between gravity, which would collapse the star to a point, and its internal pressure caused by the energy of the nuclear fusion reaction in the core. When a star's fuel has been spent, it explodes into a giant fireball known as a supernova.. I really hope this helps!!!!

What is escape velocity ​
DanielleElmas [232]
Escape velocity is the speed that an object needs to be traveling to break free of a planet or moon's gravity well and leave it without further propulsion. For example, a spacecraft leaving the surface of Earth needs to be going 7 miles per second, or nearly 25,000 miles per hour to leave without falling back to the surface or falling into orbit.
