Answer:

5.65 m/s²

Explanation:

We'll begin by calculating the mass of PJ when in San Diego (i.e Earth). This can be obtained as follow:

Weight of PJ on Earth (Wₑ) = 545 N

Acceleration due to gravity (g) on Earth (gₑ) = 10 m/s²

Mass of PJ on Earth (mₑ) =.?

Wₑ = mₑ × gₑ

545 = mₑ × 10

Divide both side by 10

mₑ = 545 / 10

mₑ = 54.5 Kg

Thus, the mass of PJ on San Diego (i.e Earth) is 54.5 Kg

Finally, we shall determine the acceleration due to gravity of planet Koja. This can be obtained as follow:

Weight of PJ on Koja (Wₖ) = 308 N

Mass of PJ on Koja (mₖ) = mass of PJ on Earth (mₑ) because mass is constant irrespective of location.

Mass of PJ on Earth (mₑ) = 54.5 Kg

Mass of PJ on Koja (mₖ) = 54.5 Kg

Acceleration due to gravity of on Koja (gₖ) =?

Wₖ = mₖ × gₖ

308 = 54.5 × gₖ

Divide both side by 54.5

gₖ = 308 / 54.5

gₖ = 5.65 m/s²

Thus, the acceleration due to gravity on planet Koja is 5.65 m/s²

deff fn [24]

Answer:he formula for average speed is (total distance/total time)

the y-component does not matter in this problem. so do 6.26(cos45)=4.43m/s to find the x-component velocity which is constant throughout the duration of the flight. the total distance is 2L because he travels distance L twice.

the total time is ((time in water)+(time out of water)) since you dont have time you must eliminate it. to do this you need (distance)/(time)=velocity

solve for time and you get T=D/V

time in water is L/3.52 and time out of water is L/4.43

add them together and you get (4.43L+3.52L)/(15.59) = 7.95L/15.59

that value is your total time

divide you total distance (2L) by total time (7.95L/15.59) and the Ls cancel out and you get

(31.18)/(7.95) = 3.92 m/s = Average Speed

Which electromagnetic wave has the lowest frequencies (less than 3×109 hertz)?

ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

Radio waves

Explanation:

The electromagnetic spectrum includes all different types of waves, which are usually classified depending on their frequency. Ordering them from the highest frequency to the lowest frequency, they are:

- Gamma rays

- X-rays

- Ultraviolet

- Visible light

- Infrared radiation

- Microwaves

- Radio waves

Radio waves are the electromagnetic waves with lowest frequency, their frequency is lower than 300 GHz ( $3\cdot 10^{11} Hz$ ) and therefore they are the electromagnetic waves with lowest energy (in fact, the energy of an electromagnetic wave is proportional to its frequency). They are generally used for radio and telecommunications since this type of waves can travel up to long distances.

bazaltina [42]

Answer:

zero

Explanation:

For a solid conducting sphere, charges are present on the surface of the sphere due to a phenomenon known as electrostatic sheilding. This affects the charge present in the body and makes it zero. However, the electrostatic potential appears to be equal to the whole present point that shows on the surface. The surface of a spherical conducting solid sphere is known as an equipotential surface. Thus, the potential difference between the two opposite points on the surface of the sphere will also be zero.
