Answer:

λ = 437 m.

Explanation:

Since a radio wave is a electromagnetic type of wave, it propagates approximately at the same speed of light in vacuum, 3*10⁸ m/s.
As in any wave, there exist a fixed relationship between the propagation speed, the wavelength and the frequency of the radio wave, as follows:

$c = \lambda* f (1)$

Replacing by the values of the speed and the frequency, and solving for the wavelength λ, we get:

$\lambda = \frac{c}{f} =\frac{3e8 m/s}{685.9e31/s} =437 m (2)$

To dry the brakes, drive slowly in __________ and apply light pressure on your brake pedal.

ira [324]

<span>The answer is low gear. To dry the brakes of a vehicle, one must driv slowly in low gear and apply light pressure on the vehicle's brake pedal. Dry brakes are less expensive and are cheap when it needs replacement, yet under pressure they may cause more damage to the system than wet brakes, which are better in terms of emergency.</span>

What happens to the gravitational potential energy between two particles if the distance between them is halved? (a) It does not

mr_godi [17]

Answer:

The gravitational potential energy between two particles, if the distance between them is halved, is multiplied by 4 (option c).

Explanation:

The gravitational force is the force of mutual attraction that two objects with mass experience.

The Law of Universal Gravitation enunciated by Newton says that every material particle attracts any other material particle with a force directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance that separates them. Mathematically this is expressed as:

$F=G*\frac{m1*m2}{r^{2} }$

where m1 and m2 are the masses of the objects, r the distance between them and G a universal constant that receives the name of constant of gravitation.

If the distance between two particles is reduced by half, then, where F' is the new value of the gravitational force:

$F'=G*\frac{m1*m2}{(\frac{r}{2} )^{2} }$

$F'=G*\frac{m1*m2}{\frac{(r )^{2} }{2^{2} } }$

$F'=G*\frac{m1*m2}{\frac{(r )^{2} }{4} }$

$F'=4*G*\frac{m1*m2}{r^{2} }$

F'=4*F

The question states: two large, parallel conducting plates are 12cm

AnnZ [28]

Answer:

1. 24375 N/C

2. 2925 V

Explanation:

d = 12 cm = 0.12 m

F = 3.9 x 10^-15 N

q = 1.6 x 10^-19 C

1. The relation between the electric field and the charge is given by

F = q E

So, $E=\frac{F}{q}$

$E=\frac{3.9 \times 10^{-15}}{1.6 \times 10^{-19}}$

E = 24375 N/C

2. The potential difference and the electric field is related by the given relation.

V = E x d

where, V be the potential difference, E be the electric field strength and d be the distance between the electrodes.

By substituting the values, we get

V = 24375 x 0.12 = 2925 Volt
