Answer:

The penny will hit the ground at 6.39 seconds

Explanation:

Free Fall

The penny is dropped from a height of y=200 m. The equation of the height on a free-fall motion is given by:

$\displaystyle y=\frac{gt^2}{2}$

Where $g=9.8\ m/s^2$ , and t is the time.

Solving for t:

$\displaystyle t=\sqrt{\frac{2y}{g}}$

Using the value y=200:

$\displaystyle t=\sqrt{\frac{2*200}{9.8}}$

t=6.39 sec

The penny will hit the ground at 6.39 seconds

Telephone signals are often transmitted over long distances by microwaves. What is the frequency of microwave radiation with a w

amm1812

Answer:

1) f= 8.6 GHz

2) t= 0.2 ms

Explanation:

Since microwaves are electromagnetic waves, they move at the same speed as the light in vacuum, i.e. 3*10⁸ m/s.
There exists a fixed relationship between the frequency (f) , the wavelength (λ) and the propagation speed in any wave, as follows:

$v = \lambda * f (1)$

Replacing by the givens, and solving for f, we get:

$f =\frac{c}{\lambda} =\frac{3e8m/s}{0.035m} = 8.57e9 Hz (2)$

⇒ f = 8.6 Ghz (with two significative figures)

Assuming that the microwaves travel at a constant speed in a straight line (behaving like rays) , we can apply the definition of average velocity, as follows:

$v =\frac{d}{t} (3)$

where v= c= speed of light in vacuum = 3*10⁸ m/s

d= distance between mountaintops = 52 km = 52*10³ m

Solving for t, we get:

$t = \frac{d}{c} = \frac{52e3m}{3e8m/s} = 17.3e-5 sec = 0.173e-3 sec = 0.173 ms (4)$

⇒ t = 0.2 ms (with two significative figures)

Vector vector b has x, y, and z components of 4.00, 4.00, and 2.00 units, respectively. calculate the magnitude of vector

Sav [38]

Good morning.

We see that $\mathsf{\overset{\to}{b}} = \mathsf{(4.00, \ 4.00, \ 2.00)}$

The magnitude(norm, to be precise) can be calculated the following way:

$\star \ \boxed{\mathsf{\overset{\to}{a}=(x, y,z)\Rightarrow ||\overset{\to}{a}|| = \sqrt{x^2+y^2+z^2}}}$

Now the calculus is trivial:

$\mathsf{\|\overset{\to}{b} \| =\sqrt{4^2+4^2+2^2} =\sqrt{16+16+4}}\\ \\ \mathsf{\|\overset{\to}{b}\|=\sqrt{36}}\\ \\ \boxed{\mathsf{\|\overset{\to}{b}\| = 6.00 \ u}}$
