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]

Answer:

finding Cepheid variable and measuring their periods.

Explanation:

This method is called  finding Cepheid variable and measuring their periods.

Cepheid variable is actually a type of star that has a radial pulsation having a varying brightness and diameter. This change in brightness is very well defined having a period and amplitude.

A potent clear link between the luminosity and pulsation period of a Cepheid variable developed Cepheids as an important determinants of cosmic criteria for scaling galactic and extra galactic distances. Henrietta Swan Leavitt revealed this robust feature of conventional Cepheid in 1908 after observing thousands of variable stars in the Magellanic Clouds. This in fact turn, by making comparisons its established luminosity to its measured brightness, allows one to evaluate the distance to the star.

alexira [117]

Answer: Technician B only

Explanation:

What actually controls the shifting in a automatic transmission is the vehicle's internal computer that helps shift the gears automatically. This includes a Control Module that adjusts the current provided to solenoids inside to control the gears The hydraulic system is used to select gears dependent on the transmission fluid's pressure applied.

In a machine shop, a hydraulic lift is used to raise heavy equipment for repairs. The system has a small piston with a cross-sec
Mrac [35]

Answer:

F_s=1075.9493\ N

Explanation:

Given:

  • area of piston on the smaller side of hydraulic lift, a_s=0.075\ m^2
  • area of piston on the larger side of hydraulic lift, a_l=0.237\ m^2
  • Weight of the engine on the larger side, W_l=3400\ N

Now, using Pascal's law which state that the pressure change in at any point in a confined continuum of an incompressible fluid is transmitted throughout the fluid at its each point.

P_s=P_l

\frac{F_s}{a_s}=\frac{W_l}{a_l}

\frac{F_s}{0.075} =\frac{3400}{0.237}

F_s=1075.9493\ N is the required effort force.
