Pepsi [2]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

0.657 seconds

Explanation:

speed of wave= wavelength / time period

so

time period= wavelength / speed

= 4.6/7

=0.657 sec

Leto [7]
The free fall acceleration due to the Earth's gravity will always be 9.8m/s^2. So, if this question is taking place on Earth, then the acceleration of an object in free fall is 9.8m/^2.

Answer:

ionized particles from the sun.

* interactions in radiation belts.

* the friction of the planet in the solar wind

q = +9 10⁵ C

Explanation:

Due to being made up of matter, the planet Earth has a series of positive and negative charges, in general these charges should be balanced and the net charge of the planet should be zero, but there are several phenomena that introduce unbalanced charges, for example:

* ionized particles from the sun.

* interactions in radiation belts.

* the friction of the planet in the solar wind

This creates that the planet has a net electrical load

         

We can roughly calculate the charge of the planet

             E = k q / r²

             q = E r² / k

let's calculate

             q = 200 (6.37 10⁶)²/9 10⁹

              q = +9 10⁵ C

As the temperature of an object increases, the wavelength of the brightest light emitted _______
alexira [117]

Answer:

option (B) decreases

Explanation:

According to the Wein's displacement law, the minimum wavelength of the radiated emission is inversely proportional to the absolute temperature of the body which emits radiation.

\lambda_{m}\alpha \frac{1}{T}

Where, T is the absolute temperature of the body and λm is the minimum wavelength of heat radiated.

Here, as the temperature increases, the wavelength decreases.

When an object is thrown upwards and reaches its maximum height its speed is: a. Greater than the initial
suter [353]

Answer:

Option d

Explanation:

When we throw an object in the upward direction, we provide it with certain initial velocity due to which it covers a certain distance up to the maximum height.

While the object is moving in the upward direction, its velocity keeps on reducing due to the acceleration due to gravity which acts vertically downwards in the opposite direction thus reducing its velocity.

So, the maximum height attained by the object is the point where this upward velocity of the body becomes zero and after that the object starts to fall down.

I need help finding the answer
miss Akunina [59]

Speed = (distance) / (time)

Speed = (2.3 m) / (3 sec)

Speed = (2.3/3) (m/s)

<em>Speed = 0.766... m/s</em>
