Answer:

1600 kg

Explanation:

use the formula p=mv. p=3200, v=2. Plug in and rearrange.

3200=(m)(2)

m= 3200/2

m=1600

What is the speed of an electromagnetic wave with a frequency of 100 mhz as it travels through a vacuum?

SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

The speed of the wave with a frequency 100 mhz will be $3\times 10^{8}m/sec$

Explanation:

We have given that frequency of light is 100 mhz

We have to find the speed of light in vaccuum

We know that all electromagnetic waves travels in vaccum wth the same speed as the speed of light

And we know that speed of light is equal to $3\times 10^{8}m/sec$

So the speed of the wave with a frequency 100 mhz will be $3\times 10^{8}m/sec$

As a laudably skeptical physics student, you want to test Coulomb's law. For this purpose, you set up a measurement in which a p

kherson [118]

Explanation:

The Coulomb's law states that the magnitude of each of the electric forces between two point-at-rest charges is directly proportional to the product of the magnitude of both charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance that separates them:

$F=\frac{kq_1q_2}{d^2}$

In this case we have an electron (-e) and a proton (e), so:

$F=-\frac{ke^2}{d^2}\\F=-\frac{8.99*10^9\frac{N\cdot m^2}{s^2}(1.6*10^{-19}C)^2}{(933*10^{-9}m)^2}\\F=-2.64*10^{-16}N$

In this case, the electric force is negative, therefore, the force is repulsive and its magnitude is:

$F=2.64*10^{-16}N$

How can submarines use echolocation to tell how close they are to the bottom of the ocean?

Lapatulllka [165]

To locate a specific target or to determine how close submarines are to the seafloor, they use active and passive sound navigation and ranging (or a SONAR, in simple terms.) It emits pulses of sound waves that travel through the water, reflect off the target and relayed back to the ship. By determining how fast the sound wave travels back, the computers on the sub calculate how far they are from the target.

Hope this helps.

A 72-kg skydiver is falling from 10000 feet. At an instant during the fall, the skydiver

MissTica

Answer:

Approximately $2.31\; \rm m \cdot s^{-2}$ (assuming that the acceleration due to gravity is $g = 9.81\; \rm m \cdot s^{-2}$ .)

Explanation:

Assuming that $g = 9.81\; \rm m \cdot s^{-2}$ the weight on this 72-kg skydiver would be $W = m \cdot g = 72 \; \rm kg \times 9.81\; \rm m \cdot s^{-2} = 706.32\; \rm N$ (points downwards.)

Air resistance is supposed to act in the opposite direction of the motion. Since this skydiver is moving downwards, the air resistance on the skydiver would point upwards.

Therefore, the net force on this skydiver should be the difference between the weight and the air resistance on the skydiver:

$\begin{aligned}F(\text{net force}) &= W - F(\text{air resistance})\\ &= 706.32\; \rm N - 540\; \rm N =166.32\; \rm N \end{aligned}$ .

Apply Newton's Second Law of motion to find the acceleration of this skydiver:

$\begin{aligned}a &= \frac{F(\text{net force})}{m} \\ &= \frac{166.32\; \rm N}{72\; \rm kg} = 2.31\; \rm m \cdot s^{-2} \end{aligned}$ .

How does Sonar work?i will mark brainliest pls help

Fittoniya [83]

I don't like the wording of any of the choices on the list.

SONAR generates a short pulse of sound, like a 'peep' or a 'ping',
focused in one direction. If there's a solid object in that direction,
then some of the sound that hits it gets reflected back, toward the
source. The source listens to hear if any of the sound that it sent
out returns to it. If it hears its own 'ping' come back, it measures
the time it took for the sound to go out and come back. That tells
the SONAR equipment that there IS a solid object in that direction,
and also HOW FAR away it is.

RADAR works exactly the same way, except RADAR uses radio waves.
