A furlong is an old british unit of length equal to 0.125 mi, derived from the length of a furrow in an acre of ploughed land. a

fortnight is a unit of time corresponding to two weeks, or 14 days and nights. find the speed of light in mega furlongs per fortnight. (one mega furlongs equals a million furlongs.)

The speed of light is: c = 3x10^8 m/s <span>

or 

c = 186,000,000 miles/sec = 1.86x10^8 mi/s 

1 furlong = 0.125 mile 

1 fortnight = 2 weeks(7d/wk)(24h/d)(3600s/h) 
= 1209600s = 1.2096x10^6 s 

Therefore, 

c =1.86x10^8 mi/s(1furl/0.125mi)(1.2096x10^6s/fort) 

<span>c = 18x10^14 furlong/fortnight = 18x10^8 Mfurlong/fortnight</span></span>

If its wavelength were doubled, its energy would be If its wavelength were doubled, its energy would be 4E. 2E. 12E. 14E.
ANEK [815]

The wavelength was doubled, and its energy will be increased by 4 times.

looking at the formula

energy E = MC^2

also, c = \lambda \times \nu

hence it is clear from above that energy is directly proportional to the square of the wavelength.

hence, The wavelength was doubled, and its energy will be increased by 4 times.

<h3>What is Wavelength?</h3>
  • The distance over which a periodic wave's shape repeats is known as the wavelength in physics.
  • It is a property of both traveling waves and standing waves as well as other spatial wave patterns. It is the distance between two successive corresponding locations of the same phase on the wave, such as two nearby crests, troughs, or zero crossings.
  • The spatial frequency is the reciprocal of the wavelength. The Greek letter lambda is frequently used to represent wavelength.
  • The term wavelength is occasionally used to describe modulated waves, their sinusoidal envelopes, or waves created by the interference of several sinusoids.

Maru [420]

Answer:

The doorbell transforms electrical energy into sound.

Explanation:

The doorbell MAY turn electrical energy into motion of a striker which then impacts a resonator creating sound. However all door bells do not have solenoids. Some are electronic playing recordings when activated.

All doorbells do produce sound, though.

An old millstone, used for grinding grain in a gristmill, is a solid cylindrical wheel that can rotate about its central axle wi
MAXImum [283]

Answer:

The answer is I=70,513kgm^2

Explanation:

Here we will use the rotational mechanics equation T=Ia, where T is the Torque, I is the Moment of Inertia and a is the angular acceleration.

When we speak about Torque it´s basically a Tangencial Force applied over a cylindrical or circular edge. It causes a rotation. In this case, we will have that T=Ft*r, where Ft is the Tangencial Forge and r is the radius

Now we will find the Moment of Inertia this way:

Ft*r=I*a -> (Ft*r)/(a) = I

Replacing we get that I is:

I=(200N*0,33m)/(0,936rad/s^2)

Then I=70,513kgm^2

In case you need to find extra information, keep in mind the Moment of Inertia for a solid cylindrical wheel is:  

I=(1/2)*(m*r^2)

Calculate the force needed to bring a 1,019-kg car to rest from a speed of 29 m/s in a distance of 118 m
son4ous [18]
Acceleration = ▵v/▵t
Time = d/v
Fisrt calculate time : ( 118/29 ) = 4 seconds
Then calculate acceleration
A = 29/4 = 7.25 m/s²
Now the force.
Force = mass * acceleration.
F= 1,019 * 7.25
F= 7,387 N
