Physics

Olenka [21]3 years ago

Answer:

0.25 m

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves consist of oscillations of the electric and the magnetic field, oscillating in a plane perpendicular to the direction of motion the wave.

All electromagnetic waves travel in a vacuum always at the same speed, the speed of light, whose value is:

c=3.0\cdot 10^8 m/s

Microwave is an example of electromagnetic waves.

The relationship between wavelength and frequency for an electromagnetic wave is:

\lambda=\frac{c}{f}

where

\lambda is the wavelength

c=3.0\cdot 10^8 m/s  is the speed of light

f is the frequency

For the microwave in this problem,

f=1.2\cdot 10^9 Hz

So its wavelength is

\lambda=\frac{3.0\cdot 10^8}{1.2\cdot 10^9}=0.25 m

If your speed changes from 10 km/h to 6 km/h, you have a(n) ______ acceleration.
Delicious77 [7]

If your speed changes from 10 km/h to 6 km/h then
you have an acceleration. 

Whether it's a positive or negative one completely depends
on which direction you decided to call the positive direction,
when you started considering your speed and its changes.

If you decided to call the direction in which you're traveling
the positive direction, then a decrease in your speed is a
negative acceleration. 

But you could just as easily have said that you're traveling
in the negative direction.  If you did that, then a decrease in
your speed would be a positive acceleration.

It's completely up to you, and how you define things.

If a vehicle accelerating at 2.7 m/s2what is it's velocity at 20 meters 12.63m/s,1.03m/s,10.39m/s,6.39m/s
netineya [11]

Answer:

The final velocity of the vehicle is 10.39 m/s.

Explanation:

Given;

acceleration of the vehicle, a = 2.7 m/s²

distance moved by the vehicle, d = 20 m

The final velocity of the vehicle is calculated using the following kinematic equation;

v² = u² + 2ah

v² = 0 + 2 x 2.7 x 20

v² = 108

v = √108

v = 10.39 m/s

Therefore, the final velocity of the vehicle is 10.39 m/s.

A passenger jet travels from Los angles to Bombay, India, in 22 h. The return flight takes 17 h. The difference in flight times
Hoochie [10]

Answer:

70.5 mph

Explanation:

A passenger jet travels from Los Angeles to Bombay, India, in 22h.

The return flight takes 17 h.

The difference in flight times is caused by winds over the Pacific Ocean that

blow primarily from west to east.

If the jet's average speed in still air is 550 mi/h what is the average speed

of the wind during the round trip flight? Round to the nearest mile per hour.

Is your answer reasonable?

:

Let w = speed of the wind

:

Write a distance equation (dist is the same both ways

17(550+w) = 22(550-w)

9350 + 17w = 12100 - 22w

17w + 22w = 12100 - 9350

39w = 2750

W = 2750/39

w = 70.5 mph seems very reasonable

:

Confirming if the solution by finding the distances using these value

17(550+70.5) = 10549 mi

22(550-70.5) = 10549 mi; confirms our solution of w = 70.5 mph

Multiplying or dividing vectors by scalars results in a. vectors. b. scalars. c. vectors if multiplied or scalars if divided. d.
klemol [59]
Let A = i+j+k be a vector and B = 3 be any scalar, 
Multiplying A and B, 
AB = (i+j+k)3 = 3i+3j+3k 

Which is a new vector whose direction is same as the old but it's 3 times greater in length  than the old vector(i+j+k).

Now, dividing A and B,
A/B = (i+j+k)/3 = \frac{1}{3}i +  \frac{1}{3}j + \frac{1}{3}k

Which is again a new vector whose direction is same as the old but now it's 1/3 times small in length than the old vector. 

Direction is same because we multiplied by positive scalar. If we multiply A by suppose -1, -4, -1000000 or any negative number, it's direction will reverse. 

Thus, if we multiply a vector with scalar, it's length increases. If we divide, it shrinks.
