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)

While eating a peanut butter and jelly sandwich peanut butter drips on Dana shirt she tries to remove the peanut butter from her
MakcuM [25]

Answer:

The water does not remove the peanut butter because the peanut butter is thicker substance than the water is, therefore it would not remove immediately.. It could also be because the brown dye or color in the peanut butter color or the peanut butter itself has already gone through her clothing Dana would have to remove it as much as she could with a towel water and some soap then throw it to the washer afterward.

Hope this helps, good luck:)

An apple from the top branch of the tree and an apple from the bottom branch of a tree fall at the same time. Which apple will h
Vedmedyk [2.9K]
B. The apple from the bottom will hit the ground earlier. This is because an increase in height causes an increase in the time that the object will fall, and therefore will affect the final velocity of the falling object. Moreover, the reduction in velocity due to friction from the air should also be considered.

The phases of the moon are the changing appearances of the moon, as seen from Earth. Which phase happens immediately after a thi
Drupady [299]

The phases of the moon are the changing appearances of the moon, as seen from Earth. Which phase happens immediately after a third quarter moon are the following

Explanation:

  • After the full moon (maximum illumination), the light continually decreases. So the waning gibbous phase occurs next. Following the third quarter is the waning crescent, which wanes until the light is completely gone -- a new moon.

waning gibbous phase

  • The waning gibbous phase occurs between the full moon and third quarter phases. The last quarter moon (or a half moon) is when half of the lit portion of the Moon is visible after the waning gibbous phase.

Time takes by the moon to go through all the phases

about 29.5 days

  • It takes 27 days, 7 hours, and 43 minutes for our Moon to complete one full orbit around Earth. This is called the sidereal month, and is measured by our Moon's position relative to distant “fixed” stars. However, it takes our Moon about 29.5 days to complete one cycle of phases (from new Moon to new Moon).
  • At 3rd quarter, the moon rises at midnight and sets at noon. Then we see only a crescent. At new, the moon rises at sunrise and sets at sunset, and we don't see any of the illuminated side!

What does the person in back of the ambulance experience? A) a lower frequency of the siren B) a lower amplitude of the siren C)
hoa [83]

The answer to your question is "A. a lower frequency of the siren.

Because the person in back of the ambulance will hear a lower frequency of the siren. This is because the waves are stretched out. A longer wavelength results in a lower frequency.

A jet plane is launched from a catapult on an aircraft carrier. In 2.0 s it reaches a speed of 42 m/s at the end of the catapult
Dvinal [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

time taken t=2\ s

Speed acquired in 2 sec v=42\ m/s

Here initial velocity is zero u=0

acceleration is the rate of change of velocity in a given time

a=\frac{v-u}{t}

a=\frac{42-0}{2}=21\ m/s^2

Distance travel in this time

s=ut+0.5at^2

where  

s=displacement

u=initial velocity

a=acceleration

t=time

s=0+\0.5\times 21\times (2)^2

s=42\ m

so Jet Plane travels a distance of 42 m in 2 s
