The Earth orbits the Sun at a speed of 30 km/s. At that speed it completes one path around the Sun every year. Of course, as tha

t happens we are heading toward a different place in space constantly, always accelerating toward the Sun to stay on the circular path. Suppose at a paritcular instant we are headed in the direction of a distant star and we measure the speed of the light from that star as it arrives on Earth. In the vacuum of space we would measurea. 299,792,458 m/sb. 299,792,428 m/sc. 299,792,488 m/sd. 0 m/s

Answer:

a. 299,792,458 m/s

Explanation:

Since the speed of light in a vacuum is invariant and has the value of 299,792,458 m/s, we would measure this value of 299,792,458 m/s for the speed of light from the star as it arrives on Earth.

A. Telephone signals are often transmitted over long distances by microwaves. What is the frequency of microwave radiation with
zzz [600]

(a) 10 GHz is the frequency of microwave radiation.

(b) 0.167 ms is required by the microwave to travel between two mountains.

Answer:

Explanation:

(a). 1 MHz is the frequency of microwave radiation.

(b)  0.167 ms is required by the microwave to travel between two mountains.

Answer:

Explanation:

a. Frequency is the measure of number of times a same thing will be repeated in a given time interval for a given time. And wavelength is the measure of distance between two successive crests or troughs. So wavelength and frequency are inversely proportional to each other. And velocity of light is the proportionality constant.

So frequency of microwave radiation = Speed of light/Wavelength of radiation

Frequency = \frac{3*10^{8} }{3*10^{-2} }

Frequency = 10^{8+2} = 10^{10}=10 GHz

So 10 GHz is the frequency of microwave radiation.

b). As microwave is a part of light waves, so it will be experiencing the speed of light.

As the speed is 3*10^{8} m/s and the distance between the two mountains is given as 50 km, then time can be calculated as

Time = Distance/Velocity

Time = \frac{50*10^{3} m}{3*10^{8} }=16.67*10^{3-8}=16.67*10^{-5}

So time = 0.167 ms.

Thus, 0.167 ms is required by the microwave to travel between two mountains.

You skip north for 12 minutes to your best friend's house that is 1.5 kilometers away. What is your average velocity?
bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

The average velocity is 7.5 km/h

Explanation:

Let's convert minutes to hours so our answer can be given in a common units of km/hour:

12 minutes = 12/60  hours = 0.2 hours

Now we estimate the average velocity calculating the distance travelled over the time it took:

1.5 / 0.2 km/h = 7.5 km/h

If 1 meter = 3.28 feet, what is the height of the Washington Monument in meters?
jasenka [17]
Since you didn't provide how tall the Monument was, I took the liberty to find it and it is 555 feet tall. So to convert to meters we must divide 555 by 3.28 or multiply it by 0.3048 (this is the method I used).
555 x 0.3048 = 169.164 meters
