A solid yellow stripe is to be painted in the middle of a certain highway. If 1 gallon of paint covers an area of p square feet

marin [14]

Answer:

option A is correct

Explanation:

Given:

The length to be painted = m miles

The width to be painted = t inches

Area painted in 1 gallon = p square feet

Converting the every given dimension in feet, we have

length to be painted = m × 5280 feet

width to be painted = t/12 feet

area to be painted = (m × 5280 feet) × t/12 feet

now, applying the unitary method, we have

p square feet is painted ⇒ 1 gallon

1 square feet is painted ⇒ 1/p gallon

(m × 5280 feet) × t/12 feet square feet is painted ⇒ [(m × 5280 feet) × t/12 feet ] × 1/p gallon

thus, we get the gallons of paint required as 5820 mt/12p

hence option A is correct

As the wavelength of an electromagnetic wave ___ the frequency of the wave ________.

adoni [48]

Answer:

As the wavelength of an electromagnetic wave _decrease__ the frequency of the wave _increase_______.

Explanation:

What is the relationship between frequency and wavelength?

Wavelength and frequency of light are closely related. The higher the frequency, the shorter the wavelength. Because all light waves move through a vacuum at the same speed, the number of wave crests passing by a given point in one second depends on the wavelength.

That number, also known as the frequency, will be larger for a short-wavelength wave than for a long-wavelength wave. The equation that relates wavelength and frequency is:

V= fλ

where v= velocity

f= frequency

λ = wavelength

⇒ f = v/λ

also f ∝ 1/λ

For electromagnetic radiation, the speed is equal to the speed of light, c, and the equation becomes:

C= fλ

where c= Speed of light

f= frequency

λ = wavelength

⇒ f = v/λ

also f ∝ 1/λ

A boy standing throws a penny horizontally at 7.25 m/s out of the window of his apparent buliding. If the window is 10.0 m above

Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

Explanation:

This is a 2D problem (parabolic) so we have to think that way. We have to split up the problem into its 2 dimensions to solve it. Think "y-stuff" and "x-stuff".

In the y-stuff category:

v₀ = 0 (initial upwards velocity is 0 since we are told the penny is thrown horizontally)

Δx = -10.0 m (this displacement is negative because the penny lands 10.0 m below the point from which it was thrown)

a = -9.8 m/s/s

t = ? (we need to find the time in this dimension so we can use it in the x dimension to find the displacement, our unknown)

In the "x-stuff" category:

v₀ = 7.25 m/s (this is given)

Δx = ???

a = 0 (acceleration in this dimension is ALWAYS 0)

t = (we will solve for this in the y-dimension and plug it in here).

In the y dimension:

Δx = v₀t + $\frac{1}{2}at^2$ and plugging in from the y-dimension info:

$-10.0=0t+\frac{1}{2}(-9.8)t^2$ which simplifies to

$-10.0=-4.9t^2$ so

$t=\sqrt{\frac{-10.0}{-4.9} }$ which, to 2 significant digits is

t = 1.4 seconds

Now we will do the same in the x-dimension, using t = 1.4:

Δx = v₀t + $\frac{1}{2}at^2$ and filling in the x-stuff:

Δx = $7.25(1.4)+\frac{1}{2}(0)(1.4)^2$ Notice that the stuff after the + sign goes to 0 cuz of the multiplication of 0, so what we are left with is another form of the d = rt equation:
