Answer:

Amplitude.

Explanation:

Radio waves can be defined as an electromagnetic wave that has its frequency ranging from 30 GHz to 300 GHz and its wavelength between 1mm and 3000m. Therefore, radio waves are a series of repetitive valleys and peaks that are typically characterized of having the longest wavelength in the electromagnetic spectrum.

Basically, as a result of radio waves having long wavelengths, they are mainly used in long-distance communications such as the carriage and transmission of data. Some examples of communication technologies that uses radio waves are radio set, mobile phones, television etc.

For a wave, an amplitude is defined as the maximum height of a crest, or depth of a trough, relative to the normal level

makvit [3.9K]

Answers:

(a) $2509.98 m/s$

(b) 397042.215 m

Explanation:

The question is incomplete, please remember to write the whole question :) However, part (a) is written below:

(a) What is the escape speed on a spherical asteroid whose radius is $700 km$ and whose gravitational acceleration at the surface is $a_{g}=4.5 m/s^{2}$

Knowing this, let's begin:

a) In this part we need to find the escape speed $V_{e}$ on the asteroid:

$V_{e}=\sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R}}$ (1)

Where:

$G$ is the universal gravitational constant

$M$ is the mass of the asteroid

$R=700 km=700(10)^{3} m$ is the radius of the asteroid

On the other hand we know the gravitational acceleration is $a_{g}=4.5 m/s^{2}$ , which is given by:

$a_{g}=\frac{GM}{R^{2}}$ (2)

Isolating $GM$ :

$GM=a_{g}R^{2}$ (3)

Substituting (3) in (1):

$V_{e}=\sqrt{\frac{2a_{g}R^{2}}{R}}=\sqrt{2a_{g}R}$ (4)

$V_{e}=\sqrt{2(4.5 m/s^{2})(700(10)^{3} m)}$ (5)

$V_{e}=2509.98 m/s$ (6) This is the escape velocity

b) In this part we will use the Conservation of mechanical energy principle:

$E_{o}=E_{f}$ (7)

Being:

$E_{o}=K_{o}+U_{o}=\frac{1}{2}m V^{2} - \frac{GMm}{R}$ (8)

$E_{f}=K_{f}+U_{f}=0 - \frac{GMm}{R+h}$ (9)

Where:

$E_{o}$ is the initial mechanical energy

$E_{f}$ is the final mechanical energy

$K_{o}$ is the initial kinetic energy

$K_{f}=0$ is the final kinetic energy

$U_{o}$ is the initial gravitational potential energy

$U_{f}$ is the final gravitational potential energy

$m$ is the mass of the object

$V=1510 m/s$ is the radial speed of the object

$h$ is the distance above the surface of the object

Then:

$\frac{1}{2}m V^{2} - \frac{GMm}{R}=- \frac{GMm}{R+h}$ (10)

Isolating $h$ :

$h=\frac{2 a_{g} R^{2}}{2a_{g}R-V^{2}}-R$ (11)

$h=\frac{2 (4.5 m/s^{2}) (700(10)^{3} m)^{2}}{2(4.5 m/s^{2})(700(10)^{3} m)-(1510 m/s)^{2}}-700(10)^{3} m$ (11)

$h=397042.215 m$ (12) This is the distance above the asteroid's surface

c) We will use the Conservation of mechanical energy principle again, but now the condition is that the object is dropped at a distance $h=981.8 km=981.8(10)^{3} m$ . This means that at the begining the object only has gravitational potential energy and then it has kinetic energy and gravitational potential energy:

$\frac{-GMm}{R+h}=\frac{-GMm}{R}+\frac{1}{2}mV^{2}$ (13)

Isolating $V$ :

$V=\sqrt{2a_{g} R(1-\frac{R}{R+h})}$ (14)

$V=\sqrt{2(4.5 m/s^{2}) (700(10)^{3} m)(1-\frac{700(10)^{3} m}{700(10)^{3} m+981.8(10)^{3} m})}$ (15)

Finally:

$V=1917.76 m/s$

kaheart [24]

Answer: The correct option is that all of the sugar will come out of solution, and pure water will float to the top

Explanation:

Solution in the field of Chemistry is usually made up of two or more substances which contains a solute that dissolves in a solvent.

A solution can either be:

-> Saturated

--> Unsaturated or

-> Supersaturated.

A saturated solution is a solution with solutes that dissolves until it is unable to dissolve anymore leaving the undissolved solute beneath.

When there is mixture of a solute and a solvent in a solution the reactions that occurs are called crystallization and dissolution. Crystallization causes solid solutes to remain undissolved while dissolution is simply the dissolving process of the solute.

When Ryan added more sugar after reaching the saturation point of the mixture, the process of crystallization set in which surpassed the process of dissolution of the sugar solute leading to precipitation of the solute of out the solution.

Two rocks are at the top of a building. Rock 1 is dropped from rest while Rock 2 is thrown horizontaly at a velocity of 5 ms.

LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

I'm pretty sure the answer is 0 m/s²

Explanation:

The horizontal velocity of the second rock is 5 m/s, so if we pretend air resistance doesn't exist, it will maintain that horizontal velocity, meaning that there is no horizontal acceleration.

Thermal energy transfers throughout the water in the beaker. Describe and explain how this happens?

ziro4ka [17]

The transfer of heat between the bottom surface of the beaker and water inside it is due to Convection phenomenon. When a fluid, such as air or a liquid, is heated and then travels away from the source, it carries the thermal energy along. ... The fluid above a hot surface expands, becomes less dense, and rises
