If a FM radio station broadcasts at 80. 3 MHz (megahertz), what is its wavelength in m (speed of light 3. 0 x 108 m/s)

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 = <em>x</em>

<em>x </em>= 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]

An object is given a very small amount of charge. Which of the following could
spayn [35]

5.4*10^-19 C

Explanation:

For the purposes of this question, charges essentially come in packages that are the size of an electron (or proton since they have the same magnitude of charge). The charge on an electron is -1.6*10^-19

Therefore, any object should have a charge that is a multiple of the charge of an electron - It would not make sense to have a charge equivalent to 1.5 electrons since you can't exactly split the electron in half. So the charge of any integer number of electrons can be transferred to another object.

Charge = q(electron)*n(#electrons)

Since 5.4/1.6 = 3.375, we know that it can not be the right answer because the answer is not an integer.

If you divide every other option listed by the charge of an electron, you will get an integer number.

(16*10^-19 C)/(1.6*10^-19C) = 10

(-6.4*10^-19 C)/(1.6*10^-19C) = -4

(4.8*10^-19 C)/(1.6*10^-19C) = 3

(5.4*10^-19 C)/(1.6*10^-19C) = 3.375

(3.2*10^-19C)/(1.6*10^-19C) = 2

etc.

I hope this helps!

What is electrons ? explain it function<br>​
Neko [114]

Answer:

The electron is a subatomic particle, symbol e⁻ or β⁻ , whose electric charge is negative one elementary charge. Electrons belong to the first generation of the lepton particle family, and are generally thought to be elementary particles because they have no known components or substructure

Explanation:

functions of electrons

and electrons being the negatively charged particles of atom. Together, all of the electrons of an atom create a negative charge that balances the positive charge of the protons in the atomic nucleus

Friction provides the force needed for a car to travel around a flat, circular race track. What is the maximum speed at which a
blagie [28]

Answer:

The maximum speed at which the car can safety travel around the track is 18.6m/s.

Explanation:

Since the car is in circular motion, there has to be a centripetal force F_c. In this case, the only force that applies for that is the static frictional force f_sbetween the tires and the track. Then, we can write that:

f_s=F_c

And since f_s\leq \mu N and F_c=\frac{mv^{2}}{r}, we have:

\mu N\geq \frac{mv^{2}}{r}

Now, if we write the vertical equation of motion of the car (in which there are only the weight and the normal force), we obtain:

N-mg=0\\\\\\implies N=mg

Substituting this expression for N and solving for v, we get:

\mu mg\geq \frac{mv^{2}}{r}\\\\v\leq \sqrt{\mu gr}

Finally, plugging in the given values for the coefficient of friction and the radius of the track, we have:

v\leq \sqrt{(0.42)(9.81m/s^{2})(84.0m)}\\\\v\leq 18.6m/s

It means that in its maximum value, the speed of the car is equal to 18.6m/s.
