Answer:

Wavelength = 0.7083 meters

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Speed of wave = 340 m/s

Frequency = 480 Hz

To find how long is the sound wave, we would determine its wavelength;

Mathematically, the wavelength of a waveform is given by the formula;

Wavelength = velocity/frequency

Wavelength = 340/480

Wavelength = 0.7083 meters

Taden has found a table of the atmospheric layers of the Sun. However, he can’t make out the names of the layers in the chart.

The sun is a ball of hot gases containing different kinds of elements at different cores. It has a very high temperature that radiates all throughout the Milky Way galaxy. The sun has three main parts; photosphere, chromospheres and corona. The outer core of a star located at the chromospheres contains mostly of hydrogen. Inside the hydrogen is helium then carbon, oxygen, neon, magnesium silicon and the inert gas. The photosphere is scattered by the loose electrons in the corona’s plasma.

Answer: $-2502N$

Explanation:

$(V_2)^2=(V_1)^2+2ad$

where;

$V_2$ = final velocity = 0

$V_1$ = initial velocity = 60 km/h = 16.67 m/s

$a$ = acceleration

$d$ = distance

First all of, because acceleration is given in m/s and not km/h, you need to convert 60km/h to m/s. Our conversion factors here are 1km = 1000m and 1h = 3600s

$60km/h(\frac{1000m}{1km} )(\frac{1h}{3600s} )=16.67m/s$
