Radio waves travel at a speed of 300,000,000 m/s. KQFC broadcasts radio waves at a frequency of 97,900,000 Hertz. What is the wavelength of KQFC’s radio wave?
Displacement, Velocity and Acceleration
In classical mechanics, kinematics deals with the motion of a particle. It deals only with the position, velocity, acceleration, and displacement of a particle. It has no concern about the source of motion.
Linear Displacement
The term "displacement" refers to when something shifts away from its original "location," and "linear" refers to a straight line. As a result, “Linear Displacement” can be described as the movement of an object in a straight line along a single axis, for example, from side to side or up and down. Non-contact sensors such as LVDTs and other linear location sensors can calculate linear displacement. Non-contact sensors such as LVDTs and other linear location sensors can calculate linear displacement. Linear displacement is usually measured in millimeters or inches and may be positive or negative.
Step 1: Write down the equation needed to solve for velocity
Velocity = Wavelength x Frequency
Step 2: Place the known measurements into the equation
Step 3: Solve the equation.
