Radio waves travel at a speed of 300,000,000 m/s. WFNX broadcasts radio waves at a

yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

Wavelength, $\lambda=2.94\ m$

Explanation:

It is given that,

Speed of radio waves is $v=3\times 10^8\ m/s$

Frequency of radio waves is f = 101,700,000 Hz

We need to find the wavelength of WFNX’s radio waves. The relation between wavelength, frequency and speed of a wave is given by :

$v=f\lambda$

$\lambda$ is wavelength

$\lambda=\dfrac{v}{f}\\\\\lambda=\dfrac{3\times 10^8}{101,700,000}\\\\\lambda=2.94\ m$

So, the wavelength of WFNX’s radio waves is 2.94 m.

A catamaran with a mass of 5.44×10^3 kg is moving at 12 knots. How much work is required to increase the speed to 16 knots? (One

Andre45 [30]

The work that is required to increase the speed to 16 knots is 14,176.47 Joules

If a catamaran with a mass of 5.44×10^3 kg is moving at 12 knots, hence;

5.44×10^3 kg = 12 knots

For an increased speed to 16knots, we will have:

x = 16knots

Divide both expressions

$\frac{5.44 \times 10^3}{x} = \frac{12}{16}\\12x = 16 \times 5.44 \times 10^3\\x = 7.23\times 10^3kg\\$

To get the required work done, we will divide the mass by the speed of one knot to have:

$w=\frac{7230}{0.51}\\w= 14,176.47Joules$

Hence the work that is required to increase the speed to 16 knots is 14,176.47 Joules

A container in the shape of a cube 10.0 cm on each edge contains air (with equivalent molar mass 28.9 g/mol) at atmospheric pres

Vikentia [17]

Answer:

a) m = 1.174 grams

b) F_g = 0.01151 N

c) F_c = 1013 N

Explanation:

Given:

- The length of a cube L = 10.0 cm

- The molar mass of air M = 28.9 g/mol

- Pressure of air P = 101.3 KPa

- Temperature of air T = 300 K

- Universal Gas constant R = 8.314 J/kgK

Find:

(a) the mass of the gas

(b) the gravitational force exerted on it

(c) the force it exerts on each face of the cube

(d) Why does such a small sample exert such a great force? (6%)

Solution:

- Compute the volume of the cube:

V = L^3 = 0.1^3 = 0.001 m^3

- Use Ideal gas law equation and compute number of moles of air n:

P*V = n*R*T

n = P*V / R*T

n = 101.3*10^3 * 0.001 / 8.314*300

n = 0.04061 moles

- Compute the mass of the gas:

m = n*M

m = 0.04061*28.9

m = 1.174 grams

- The gravitational force exerted on the mass of gas is due to its weight:

F_g = m*g

F_g = 1.174*9.81*10^-3

F_g = 0.01151 N

- The force exerted on each face of cube is due its surface area:

F_c = P*A

F_c = (101.3*10^3)*(0.1)^2

F_c = 1013 N

- The molecules of a gas have high kinetic energy; hence, high momentum. When they collide with the walls they transfer momentum per unit time as force. Higher the velocity of the particles higher the momentum higher the force exerted.

Write the realtionship between the density of a liquid and its upthrust? clarify

kipiarov [429]

Answer:

B = ρ g V_liquid

the thrust is proportional to the density of the liquid

Explanation:

The density of a liquid is defined as the relationship between the mass and the volume of the liquid

ρ = m / V

The upward push of the liquid is given by the principle of Archimedes Archimedes establishes that the push is equal to the weight of the dislodged liquid

B = W_liquid

B = m _liquid g

we substitute mass for density

B = ρ g V_liquid

therefore we see that the thrust is proportional to the density of the liquid
