local AM radio station broadcasts at a frequency of 685.9 kHz. Calculate the wavelength at which they are broadcasting. Waveleng
1 answer:
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:
- Replacing by the values of the speed and the frequency, and solving for the wavelength λ, we get:

Answer:
1.43 s
Explanation:
The time it takes for the container to reach the ground is determined only by the vertical motion of the container, which is a free-fall motion, so a uniformly accelerated motion with a constant acceleration of g=9.8 m/s^2 towards the ground.
The vertical distance covered by an object in free fall is given by
where
u = 0 is the initial vertical speed
t is the time
a= g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration
since u=0, it can be rewritten as
And substituting S=10.0 m, we can solve for t, to find the duration of the fall:
