Answer:

Explanation:

Electromagnetic waves is a propagating medium used in all communications device to transmit data (messages) from the device of the sender to the device of the receiver.

An electromagnetic spectrum refers to a range of frequency and wavelength that an electromagnetic wave is distributed or extends. The electromagnetic spectrum comprises of gamma rays, visible light, ultraviolet radiation, x-rays, radio waves, and infrared radiation.

Wavelength can be defined as the distance from one peak to the next peak. Also, this distance is equal to the distance from one trough of a wave to another.

Mathematically, the speed of a wave is given by the formula;

V = fλ

Where;

V is the speed of the wave.

f is the frequency of the wave.

λ is the wavelength of the wave.

The speed of a wave (wave speed) is directly proportional to the frequency of a wave.

This ultimately implies that, an increase in the speed of a wave would cause an increase in the frequency of a wave and vice-versa.

you are piloting a small plane and you want to reach an airport 450 km due south in 3.0 h a wind is blowing from the west 50.0 k

alex41 [277]

Answer:

You should choose airspeed 158.11 km/h at 18.4° west of south

Explanation:

The distance to the air port is 450 km due to south

You should to reach the airport in 3 hours

→ Velocity = distance ÷ time

→ Distance = 450 km , time = 3 hours

→ The velocity of your plane = 450 ÷ 3 = 150 km/h due to south

A wind is blowing from west 50 km/h

We need to know what heading and airspeed you should choose to

reach your destination

At first we must find the resultant velocity of your plane and the wind

The south and west are perpendicular, then the resultant velocity is

→ $v_{R}=\sqrt{(v_{p})^{2}+(v_{w})^{2}}$

→ $v_{p}=150$ km/h , $v_{w}=50$ km/h

→ $v_{R}=\sqrt{(150)^{2}+(50)^{2}}=158.11$ km/h

To cancel the velocity of the wind, the pilot should maintain the velocity

of the plane at 158.11 km/h

The direction of the velocity is the angle between the resultant velocity

and the vertical (south)

→ The direction of the velocity is $tan^{-1}\frac{50}{150}=18.4$ °

The direction of the velocity is 18.4° west of south

You should choose airspeed 158.11 km/h at 18.4° west of south

Betelgeuse is how many times larger than the sun

Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Betelgeuse is one of the largest known stars and is probably at least the size of the orbits of Mars or Jupiter around the sun. That's a diameter about 700 times the size of the Sun or 600 million miles. For a star it has a rather low surface temperature (6000 F compared to the Sun's 10,000 F).
