It turns out that the depth in the ocean to which airborne electromagnetic signals can be detected grows with the wavelength. Th

erefore, the military got the idea of using very long wavelengths corresponding to about 30 Hz to communicate with submarines throughout the world. If we want to have an antenna that is about one-half wavelength long, how long would that be

Wavelength = speed / frequency.

Wavelength = 3x10^8 m/s / 30 hz

Wavelength = 10 million meters

1/2 wavelength = 5 million meters

(that's about 3,100 miles)

I'm pretty sure the frequency is wrong in the question.

I think it's actually 30 kHz, not 30 Hz.

That makes the antenna about 3.1 miles long.

Substances which naturally attract each other called what
grandymaker [24]

Answer:

Ferromagnetism, physical phenomenon in which certain electrically uncharged materials strongly attract others. Two materials found in nature, lodestone (or magnetite, an oxide of iron, Fe3O4) and iron, have the ability to acquire such attractive powers, and they are often called natural ferromagnets.

Hope this help :)

A screw having 50% efficiency is driven by a rod and 25 cm. The pitch of the screw is 1/10cm Calculate velocity ratio and mechan
neonofarm [45]

(a) The velocity ratio of the screw is 1570.8.

(b) The mechanical advantage of the screw is 785.39.

<h3>Velocity ratio of the screw</h3>

The velocity ratio of the screw is calculated as follows;

V.R = 2πr/P

where;

  • P is the pitch = 1/10 cm = 0.1 cm = 0.001 m
  • r is radius = 25 cm = 0.25 m

V.R = (2π x 0.25)/(0.001)

V.R = 1570.8

<h3>Mechanical advantage of the screw</h3>

E = MA/VR x 100%

0.5 = MA/1570.8

MA = 785.39

What is terminal velocity and how is it reached?
Ber [7]
He thermal velocity or thermal speed is a typical velocity of the thermal motion of particles which make up a gas, liquid, etc. Thus, indirectly, thermal velocity is a measure of temperature. Technically speaking it is a measure of the width of the peak in the Maxwell–Boltzmann particle velocity distribution.
