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.

An astronomer discovers a massive galaxy which has four nuclei. What is a likely explanation for a galaxy having more than one n
statuscvo [17]

The universe is made of a lot of galaxies. The likely explanation for a galaxy having more than one nucleus is that the galaxy must have swallowed several smaller galaxies that were its neighbors.

  • There are some reason behind the theory that the eating up of a galaxy is by another galaxy. The galaxy is said to have a  powerful past due to the fact  that a lot of smaller galaxies were eaten up.

The universe is known to have a very largest galaxy called the giant elliptical galaxy that is made up of about a trillion stars.

A lawyer drives from her​ home, located 1 mile east and 8 miles north of the town​ courthouse, to her​ office, located 4 miles w
givi [52]

Answer:

d = 13 miles

Explanation:

Lets say the position of court house is origin in this case

her office is located at 4 miles west and 4 miles south of court house

so here we have coordinate of the office with respect to court house is given as

r_1 = (-4\hat i - 4\hat j)

now the position of her home is located at 1 miles east and 8 miles north of the court house

so the coordinates of her home is given as

r_2 = (1\hat i + 8 \hat j)

now the change in the position is given as the distance between office and home

d = r_2 - r_1

d = 5 \hat i + 12 \hat j

d = \sqrt{5^2 + 12^2} = 13 miles

A block of ice of mass 4.30 kg is placed against a horizontal spring that has a force constant k = 250 N/m and is compressed a d
OleMash [197]

Answer:

W = 0.060 J

v_2 = 0.18 m/s

Explanation:

solution:

for the spring:

W = 1/2*k*x_1^2 - 1/2*k*x_2^2

x_1 = -0.025 m and x_2 = 0

W = 1/2*k*x_1^2 = 1/2*(250 N/m)(-0.028m)^2

W = 0.060 J

the work-energy theorem,

W_tot = K_2 - K_1 = ΔK

with K = 1/2*m*v^2

v_2 = √2*W/m

v_2 = 0.18 m/s
