<span>In order to determine the wavelength, we use the wave equation:
speed = frequency * wavelength
speed of light c = 3 x 10</span>⁸<span> m/s
Frequency f = 104.1 MHz = 1.041 x 10</span>⁸ Hz<span>
c = f</span>λ
λ = c / f
λ = 3 x 10⁸ / 1.041 x 10⁸
λ = 2.88 meters
The wavelength of the waves is 2.88 meters.
The person's horizontal position is given by

and the time it takes for him to travel 56.6 m is

so your first computed time is the correct one.
The question requires a bit of careful reading, and I think there may be a mistake in the problem. The person's vertical velocity
at time
is

which tells us that he would reach the ground at about
. In this time, he would have traveled

But we're told that he is caught by a net at 56.6 m, which would mean that the net cannot have been placed at the same height from which he was launched. However, it's possible that the moment at which he was launched doesn't refer to the moment the cannon went off, but rather the moment at which the person left the muzzle of the cannon a fraction of a second after the cannon was set off. After this time, the person's initial vertical velocity
would have been a bit smaller than
.
energy. It will not disrupt the picture developing process by overexposing too much light on the film.
<u>Answer</u>
3 Ohms
<u>Explanation</u>
when the resistors are in series, the resistance in the circuit increases. For example, if two resistors, R1 and R2 are in series, the combined resistance is R1+R2.
When connected in parallel, the total resistance is the reciprocal of (1/R1 + 1/R2)
In this case the resistors are in parallel.
Total resistance = (1/12 + 1/4)⁻¹
= (1/3)⁻¹
= 3 Ohms
