Answer:

Explanation:

Using the formula;

Speed = Distance/Time

Given

Speed = 8km/s

Time = 2hr

Convert 2hr to secs

1hr = 3600secs

2hr = 2(3600)

2hr = 7200secs

Altitude is the distance

From the formula;

Distance = speed × time

Distance = 8×7200

Distance = 57200km

Hence the altitude at this point is 57,200km

7.5 x 10⁻¹¹m. An electromagnetic wave of frecuency 4.0 x 10¹⁸Hz has a wavelength of 7.5 x 10⁻¹¹m.

Wavelength is the distance traveled by a periodic disturbance that propagates through a medium in a certain time interval. The wavelength, also known as the space period, is the inverse of the frequency. The wavelength is usually represented by the Greek letter λ.

λ = v/f. Where v is the speed of propagation of the wave, and "f" is the frequency.

An electromagnetic wave has a frecuency of 4.0 x 10 ¹⁸Hz and the speed of light is 3.0 x 10⁸ m/s. So:

λ = (3.0 x 10⁸ m/s)/(4.0 x 10¹⁸ Hz)

λ = 7.5 x 10⁻¹¹m

Answer:

3.1 m/s

Explanation:

The total distance she has to run is the addition of the three lengths:

47 + 63 + 76 = 186 meters.

She needs to cover it one minute (60 seconds). Therefore her speed must be:

186 m / 60 s = 3.1 m/s

ivann1987 [24]

The two components of projectile motion include the following:

  • Horizontal motion
  • Vertical motion.

<h3>What is a Projectile?</h3>

This is defined as a missile propelled by the application of an external force and allowed to move freely under the influence of gravity and air resistance.

The equation for Horizontal motion Vx = V * cos(α)

Vertical velocity component: Vy = V * sin(α)
