Answer:

Wavelength = 3.74 m

Explanation:

In order to find wavelength in "metres", we must first convert megahertz to hertz.

1 MHz = 1 × 10⁶ Hz

80.3 Mhz = x

x = 80.3 × 1 × 10⁶ = 8.03 × 10⁷ Hz

The formula between wave speed, frequency and wavelength is:

v = fλ [where v is wave speed, f is frequency and λ is wavelength]

Reorganise the equation and make λ the subject.

λ = v ÷ f

λ = (3 × 10⁸) ÷ (8.03 × 10⁷)

λ = 3.74 m [rounded to 3 significant figures]

How is the reaction quotient used to determine whether a system is at equilibrium?

Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

The answer to the question above is explained below

Explanation:

The reaction quotient, Q, is a measure of the relative amounts of reactants and products during a chemical reaction as it can be used to determine in which direction a reaction will proceed at a given point in time. Equilibrium constant is the numerical value of reaction quotient at the end of the reaction, when equilibrium is reached.

If Q = K then the system is already at equilibrium. If Q < Keq, the reaction will move toward the products to reach equilibrium. If Q > Keq, the reaction will move toward the reactants in order to reach equilibrium. Therefore, by comparing Q and K, we can determine the direction of a reaction.

Where Q= reaction quotient and Keq= equilibrium constant for the reaction.

The larger the equilibrium constant, the further the equilibrium lies toward the products. Reaction quotient is a quantity that changes as a reaction system approaches equilibrium.

We can determine the equilibrium constant based on equilibrium concentrations. K is the constant of a certain reaction when it is in equilibrium. Equilibrium occurs when there is a constant ratio between the concentration of the reactants and the products.

The tires of a car make 77 revolutions as the car reduces its speed uniformly from 95.0 km/h to 65.0 km/h. The tires have a diam

nika2105 [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

95.0 km/hr = 26.39 m/s

65 km/hr = 18.06 m/s

Circumference of a tire is 0.9π m

77 revolutions is a distance of

77(0.9π) = 69.3π m

v² = u² + 2as

a = (v² - u²) / 2s

a = (18.06² - 26.39²) / (2(69.3π))

a = -0.85 m/s²

s = (v² - u²) / 2a

s = (0² - 26.39²) / 2(-0.85)

s = 409 m

Assume that a uniform magnetic field is directed into thispage. If an electron is released with an initial velocity directedfrom

Feliz [49]

Answer:

B). to the right

Explanation:

Since the direction of magnetic field is into the page

So here we know that

$B = B_o(-\hat k)$

now the velocity is from bottom to top

so we have

$v = v_o \hat j$

now the force on the moving charge is given as

$\vec F = q(\vec v \times \vec B)$

now we have

$\vec F = (-e)(v_o \hat j \times B_o(-\hat k))$

$\vec F = e v_o B \hat i$

so force will be towards Right

Light takes 8 minutes to reach the Earth, and the speed of light is 3.0×10^8 m/s. a) What is the orbital speed of the Earth arou

spin [16.1K]

Answer:

(a) 28690 m/s (b) $2.46x10^{33}J$

Explanation:

The orbital speed is define as:

$v = \frac{2 \pi r}{T}$ (1)

Where r is the radius of the trajectory and T is the orbital period.

To determine the orbital speed of the Earth it is necessary to know the orbital period and the radius of the trajectory. That can be done by means of the Kepler's third law and average velocity equation.

The average velocity in a Uniform Rectilinear Motion is defined as:

$v = \frac{d}{t}$ (2)
