The product of (wavelength) x (frequency) is always the same number ... the wave's speed.

So if the wavelength is somehow reduced to 1/4 its original length, the <em>frequency is immediately multiplied by 4</em> . That's the only way their product can remain the same.

How much work would be needed to raise the payload from the surface of the moon (i.e., x = r) to an altitude of 5r miles above t

Cloud [144]

Let the data is as following

mass of payload = "m"

mass of Moon = "M"

now we know that we place the payload from the position on the surface of moon to the position of 5r from the surface

So in this case we can say that change in the gravitational potential energy is equal to the work done to move the mass from one position to other

so it is given by

$W = U_f - U_i$

we know that

$U_f = -\frac{GMm}{6r}$

$U_i = -\frac{GMm}{r}$

now from above formula

$W = -\frac{GMm}{6r} + \frac{GMm}{r}$

$W = \frac{5GMm}{6r}$

so above is the work done to move the mass from surface to given altitude

The force of attraction between two oppositely charged pith is 5mx 10 to the -6th power newtons. If the charge on the two is 6.7

My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

0.28 m

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Force (F) = 5×10¯⁶ N

Charge 1 (q₁) = 6.7×10¯⁹ C

Charge 2 (q₂) = 6.7×10¯⁹ C

Electrical constant (K) = 9×10⁹ Nm²C¯²

Distance apart (r) =?

Thus, the distance between the two charges can be obtained as follow:

F = Kq₁q₂/r²

5×10¯⁶ = 9×10⁹ × 6.7×10¯⁹ × 6.7×10¯⁹/r²

5×10¯⁶ = 4.0401×10¯⁷ / r²

Cross multiply

5×10¯⁶ × r² = 4.0401×10¯⁷

Divide both side by 5×10¯⁶

r² = 4.0401×10¯⁷ / 5×10¯⁶

Take the square root of both side

r = √(4.0401×10¯⁷ / 5×10¯⁶)

r = 0.28 m

Therefore, the distance between the two charges is 0.28 m

What are some guidelines for using self-assessments?

lakkis [162]

Decide which components you wish to assess yourself. There is no set order in which you do this. you could, for an example assess one or two elements and skip the rest.
