Answer:

Photons have no mass, they do have energy, and the gravity of a black hole (or any other gravitating body) will attract them.

Nady [450]

Based on your problem where as ask for the distance of the ball drop between the pitchers mound and the home plate and with a given of the speed of ball is 43m/s and the homeplates is 60.6ft away. Based on my step by step procedure and also considering the value of gravity by 9.8m/s^2 i came up with the distance of 144m away

1.Predict the frequency of a tuning fork that emits a sound with a wavelength of 0.385 m.

lina2011 [118]

Answer:

1.) Frequency F = 890.9 Hz

2.) Wavelength (λ) = 0.893 m

Explanation:

1.) Given that the wavelength = 0.385m

The speed of sound = 343 m / s

To predict the frequency, let us use the formula V = F λ

Where (λ) = wavelength = 0.385m

343 = F × 0.385

F = 343/0.385

F = 890.9 Hz

2.) Given that the frequency = 384Hz

Using the formula again

V = F λ

λ = V/F

Wavelength (λ) = 343/384

Wavelength (λ) = 0.893 m

The two questions can be solved with the use of formula

The results of a recent television survey of American TV households revealed that 86 out of every 100 TV households have at leas

Lelechka [254]

Answer:

$q = \dfrac{14}{100}$

Explanation:

given,

86 out of every 100 TV households have at least one remote control

Probability of any material is calculated by.

$Probability = \dfrac{favourable\ outcome}{Total\ outcome}$

$P(at\ least\ one\ remote\ control)=\dfrac{86}{100}$

$P(at\ least\ one\ remote\ control)=0.86$

now, Calculating probability that at least one remote control

q = 1 - 0.86

q = 0.14

$P(doesnot\ have\ at\ least\ one\ remote\ control)=\dfrac{14}{100}$

$q = \dfrac{14}{100}$

If the distance from a light source triples, how does light intensity change? The intensity will be 3x greater. The intensity wi

Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

The intensity will be 1/9 as much.

Explanation:

The intensity of the light or any source is inversely related to the square of the distance.

$I\alpha \frac{1}{r^{2} }$

Now according to the question the distance is increased by three times than,

$\frac{I_{2} }{I_{1} }=\frac{r_{1}^{2} }{r_{2}^{2} }$

Therefore,

$\frac{I_{2} }{I_{1} }=\frac{r_{1}^{2} }{(3r_{1})^{2} }\\\frac{I_{2} }{I_{1} }=\frac{1}{9} \\{I_{2}=\frac{1}{9}{I_{1} }$

Therefore the intensity will become 1/9 times to the initial intensity.

driving down the highway , you find yourself behind a heavily loaded tomato truck. you follow close behind the truck keeping the

prohojiy [21]

Answer:

The tomato won't hit the car

Explanation:

According to the statement, the car moves at constant speed behind the truck fully loaded with tomatoes, and in the same direction. When a tomato falls from the top of the truck, it should not hit the car as the tomato falls due to the force of gravity, while horizontally has the same speed and in the same direction as the truck. So we assume that the tomato will fall to the road without touching the car.

Have a nice day!
