AI Thread Summary
Radio waves at a frequency of 1250 kHz travel at the speed of light, which is approximately 3.00 x 10^8 m/s. The wavelength can be calculated using the formula: wavelength = speed of light / frequency. For 1250 kHz, the wavelength is about 240 meters. The term "length of the waves" is synonymous with "wavelength," indicating a misunderstanding of terminology. Understanding this relationship is crucial for solving related physics problems.

Homework Statement


Radio waves travel at the speed of light waves
(3.00 *10^8 m/s). If your radio is tuned to
a station broadcasting at 1250 kHz, what is
the length of the waves arriving at the radio
antenna?

'length of the waves' = 'wavelength'. This is an example of circumlocution in English.

Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'

In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanged mass'

Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
