If you illustrate the problem, you will somewhat come up with the figure shown. The missing value is the hypotenuse of the right triangle. Using the pythagorean theorems, the value is determined to be

x = √(0.7^2 + 2.4^2)
x = 2.5 km

2.5 km is the magnitude of the distance. If you want to incorporate the displacement, the answer is reported as 2.5 km, southeast. The direction is determined from the starting point to the endpoint.

He can throw the hammer in the direction opposite to the direction he wants to travel in. The hammer will exert an equal and opposite force on him, as per Newton's third law, and this will help him move towards the space station.

in an automobile crash, a vehicle that was stopped at a red light is rear-ended by another vehicle. The vehicles have the same m
baherus [9]

The initial speed of the vehicle before the collision is 8 m/s.

  • Let the mass of the vehicle = m
  • Let the initial speed of the vehicle stopped = u
  • The initial speed of the vehicle parked at the red light = 0

<h3>Principle of conservation of linear momentum</h3>
  • The initial speed of the vehicle before the collision is calculated by applying principle of conservation of linear momentum as follows;

m_1 u_1 + m_2 u_2 = v(m_1 + m_2)\\\\mu + m(0) = 4(m+ m)\\\\mu = 4(2m)\\\\mu = 8m\\\\u = 8 \ m/s

Thus, the initial speed of the vehicle before the collision is 8 m/s.

What is the wavelength of the carrier wave of a campus radio station, broadcasting at a frequency of 97.2 MHz (million cycles pe
andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

Wavelength is 3.08 meters.

Explanation:

It is given that,

Frequency, f=97.2\ MHz=97.2\times 10^6\ Hz

We need to find the wavelength of the carrier wave of a campus radio station. It can be calculated by using following relation as :

c=f\times \lambda

\lambda=\dfrac{c}{f}

\lambda=\dfrac{3\times 10^8\ m/s}{97.2\times 10^6\ Hz}

\lambda=3.08\ m

So, the wavelength of the carrier wave is 3.08 meters. Hence, this is the required solution.
