Answer:
120 m
Explanation:
Given:
wavelength 'λ' = 2.4m
pulse width 'τ'= 100T ('T' is the time of one oscillation)
The below inequality express the range of distances to an object that radar can detect
τc/2 < x < Tc/2 ---->eq(1)
Where, τc/2 is the shortest distance
First we'll calculate Frequency 'f' in order to determine time of one oscillation 'T'
f = c/λ (c= speed of light i.e 3 x m/s)
f= 3 x / 2.4
f=1.25 x hz.
As, T= 1/f
time of one oscillation T= 1/1.25 x
T= 8 x s
It was given that pulse width 'τ'= 100T
τ= 100 x 8 x => 800 x
s
From eq(1), we can conclude that the shortest distance to an object that this radar can detect:
= τc/2 => (800 x
x 3 x
)/2
=120m
Answer:
Explanation:
Since the object is under a circular motion, according to Newton's second law, when the object is at the top of the circle we have:
Where is the centripetal force and is given by:
Replacing and solving for T:
