Answer:

If the radio wave is on an FM station, these are in Megahertz. A megahertz is one ... Typical radio wave frequencies are about 88~108 MHz .

Explanation:

To calculate the wavelength of a radio wave, you will be using the equation: Speed of a wave = wavelength X frequency.

Since radio waves are electromagnetic waves and travel at 2.997 X

8

meters/second, then you will need to know the frequency of the radio wave.

If the radio wave is on an FM station, these are in Megahertz. A megahertz is one million hertz. If the radio wave is from an AM radio station, these are in kilohertz (there are one thousand hertz in a kilohertz). Hertz are waves/second. Hertz is usually the label for the frequency of electromagnetic waves.

To conclude, to determine the wavelength of a radio wave, you take the speed and divide it by the frequency.

Typical radio wave frequencies are about

A space station in the shape of a 100 m-diameter (50m radius) wheel is spinning so as to impart a linear tangential speed of 22.
zalisa [80]

Answer:

correct option is b. 31.3 m/s

Explanation:

given data

artificial gravity a1 = 1 g

artificial gravity a2 = 2 g

diameter = 100 m

radius  r= 50 m

speed v1 = 22.1 m/s

solution

As acceleration is  ∝ v²

so we can say

\frac{a2}{a1} = \frac{v2}{v1}    .....................1

put here value

\frac{2}{1} = \frac{v2}{22.1}  

solve it

v2 = \sqrt{2 } × 22.1

v2 = 31.25 m/s

so correct option is b. 31.3 m/s

A stationary speed gun emits a microwave beam at 2.10*10^10Hz. It reflects off a car and returns 1030 Hz higher. What is the spe
lana [24]

Answer: V = 15 m/s

Explanation:

As  stationary speed gun emits a microwave beam at 2.10*10^10Hz. It reflects off a car and returns 1030 Hz higher. The observed frequency the car will be experiencing will be addition of the two frequency. That is,

F = 2.1 × 10^10 + 1030 = 2.100000103×10^10Hz

Using doppler effect formula

F = C/ ( C - V) × f

Where

F = observed frequency

f = source frequency

C = speed of light = 3×10^8

V = speed of the car

Substitute all the parameters into the formula

2.100000103×10^10 = 3×10^8/(3×10^8 -V) × 2.1×10^10

2.100000103×10^10/2.1×10^10 = 3×108/(3×10^8 - V)

1.000000049 = 3×10^8/(3×10^8 - V)

Cross multiply

300000014.7 - 1.000000049V = 3×10^8

Collect the like terms

1.000000049V = 14.71429

Make V the subject of formula

V = 14.71429/1.000000049

V = 14.7 m/s

The speed of the car is 15 m/s approximately

Calculate the kinetic energy in joules of a 1200 kg automobile moving at 18 m/s .
vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

194,400 joules of kinetic energy.

Explanation:

Remember that to calculate the Kinetic energy you need to use the next formula:

Ke=\frac{1}{2}Mass*Velocity^2

We know that Mass= 1200 kg and velocity is 18m/s, so we insert those values into the formula:

Ke=\frac{1}{2}Mass*Velocity^2\\Ke=\frac{1}{2}1200kg*(18m/s)^2\\Ke=194,400 joules

So the kinetic energy of a car moving at 18m/s with a mass of 1200 kg would be 194,400 joules.
