zzz [600]3 years ago
7 0

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

A harmonic wave is traveling along a rope. It is observed that the oscillator that generates the wave completes 37.6 vibrations
tangare [24]

Answer:

\lambda = 25.79\ cm

Explanation:

given,

Wave vibrates = 37.6

time = 27.9 s

maximum distance travel = 450 cm

time = 11.3 s

wavelength = ?

frequency of wave

f=\dfrac{37.6}{27.9}

f = 1.35 Hz

Speed of wave

v = \dfrac{450}{11.3}

v = 39.82 cm/s

wavelength of wave

v = fλ

\lambda =\dfrac{v}{f}

\lambda =\dfrac{34.82}{1.35}

\lambda = 25.79\ cm

Hence, wavelength of the wave is equal to 25.79 cm.

"A block of metal weighs 40 N in air and 30 N in water. What is the buoyant force on the block due to the water? The density of
Alja [10]

Answer:

buoyant force on the block due to the water= 10 N

Explanation:

We know that

buoyant force(F_B) on a block= weight of the block in air (actual weight) - weight of block in water.

Given:

A block of metal weighs 40 N in air and 30 N in water.

F_B =  40-30= 10 N

therefore,  buoyant force on the block due to the water= 10 N

sergeinik [125]
The one that research has determined about the orbit of an electron around nucleus is : Each sub-level electron type has a unique path where it will likely to be found
Here are the sub levels of an electron :
-sub level s, maximum number of 2 electrons
- sub level p, maximum number of 6 electrons
- sub level d, maximum number of 10 electrons
- sub level f, maximum number of 14 electrons
