Answer:

Explanation:

Depends on the location of the two forces. If they are aligned on the same side of the object, you would simply add.

X -----------F1 -------F2

X is the object. F1 and F2 are both masses which create a gravitational force. They both are the form of Fx = G * m1 * m2 / r^2. The total force is F1 + F2

If they are are on either side of the object, you subtract.

F1 ---------X ---------F2

Fx = F1 - F2

Any other location of F1 and F2 is much more complicated by the use of trigonometry.

Calculate the wavelength of each frequency of electromagnetic radiation: a. 100.2 MHz (typical frequency for FM radio broadcasti

Natalka [10]

Answer:

a). 100.2 MHz (typical frequency for FM radio broadcasting)

The wavelength of a frequency of 100.2 Mhz is 2.99m.

b. 1070 kHz (typical frequency for AM radio broadcasting) (assume four significant figures)

The wavelength of a frequency of 1070 khz is 280.3 m.

c. 835.6 MHz (common frequency used for cell phone communication)

The wavelength of a frequency of 835.6 Mhz is 0.35m.

Explanation:

The wavelength can be determined by the following equation:

$c = \lambda \cdot \nu$ (1)

Where c is the speed of light, $\lambda$ is the wavelength and $\nu$ is the frequency.

Notice that since it is electromagnetic radiation, equation 1 can be used. Remember that light propagates in the form of an electromagnetic wave.

a). 100.2 MHz (typical frequency for FM radio broadcasting)

Then, $\lambda$ can be isolated from equation 1:

$\lambda = \frac{c}{\nu}$ (2)

since the value of c is $3x10^{8}m/s$ . It is necessary to express the frequency in units of hertz.

$\nu = 100.2 MHz . \frac{1x10^{6}Hz}{1MHz}$ ⇒ $100200000Hz$

But $1Hz = s^{-1}$

$\nu = 100200000s^{-1}$

Finally, equation 2 can be used:

$\lambda = \frac{3x10^{8}m/s}{100200000s^{-1}}$

$\lambda = 2.99 m$

Hence, the wavelength of a frequency of 100.2 Mhz is 2.99m.

b. 1070 kHz (typical frequency for AM radio broadcasting) (assume four significant figures)

$\nu = 1070kHz . \frac{1000Hz}{1kHz}$ ⇒ $1070000Hz$

But $1Hz = s^{-1}$

$\nu = 1070000s^{-1}$

Finally, equation 2 can be used:

$\lambda = \frac{3x10^{8}m/s}{1070000s^{-1}}$

$\lambda = 280.3 m$

Hence, the wavelength of a frequency of 1070 khz is 280.3 m.

c. 835.6 MHz (common frequency used for cell phone communication)

$\nu = 835.6MHz . \frac{1x10^{6}Hz}{1MHz}$ ⇒ $835600000Hz$

But $1Hz = s^{-1}$

$\nu = 835600000s^{-1}$

Finally, equation 2 can be used:

$\lambda = \frac{3x10^{8}m/s}{835600000s^{-1}}$

$\lambda = 0.35 m$

Hence, the wavelength of a frequency of 835.6 Mhz is 0.35m.

As an object rolls downhill, some of the energy is

Charra [1.4K]

When the object is at the top of the hill it has the most potential energy. If it is sitting still, it has no kinetic energy. As the object begins to roll down the hill, it loses potential energy, but gains kinetic energy. The potential energy of the position of the object at the top of the hill is getting converted into kinetic energy. Hope this helped. :)
