Answer to Question 1

A sensitive aerial has a size related to the wave length of the radiation (e.g. , /2, /4). AM, having a frequency a thousand times lower than FM, has wavelengths a thousand times larger, and early radios required a very sensitive antenna, unlike modern radios which have enormous amplification capability.

Answer to Question 2

173. m/s
