Explanation:

The frequency of radio waves is 1.667 GHz

One portion of the same wave front travels 1.260 mm farther than the other before the two signals are combined.

There are two conditions for interference either constructive or destructive.

For constructive interference , the path difference is n times of wavelength and for destructive interference, the path difference is (n+1/2) times of wavelength

We can find wavelength in this case as follows :

\lambda=\dfrac{c}{f}\\\\\lambda=\dfrac{3\times 10^8}{1.667\times 10^9}\\\\\lambda=0.1799\ m

If we divide path difference by wavelength,

\dfrac{\delta}{\lambda} =\dfrac{1.26}{0.1799}\\\\\dfrac{\delta}{\lambda} =7\\\\\delta =7\lambda

It means that the path difference is 7 times of the wavelength. it means the two waves combine constructively and the value of m for the path difference between the two signals is 7.

Nataly_w [17]

Explanation:

Yes, in order to determine whether two geometric figures are identical or not we tend to rotate one of the figure clockwise or anti clock wise mentally. However, in clockwise rotation larger the angel more will be the time taken for instance, it will take longer to rotate 120° than to rotate 40°. Whereas in anti clockwise ration it will be vice versa.

Question :
irakobra [83]

A rubber ball and a stone of the same size are examples which will have more inertia and is therefore denoted as option A.

<h3>What is Inertia?</h3>

This is referred to as the property exhibited by a body in which it has the tendency to remain at rest or in uniform motion.This property is dependent on the mass of the substance as we can deduce that the greater the mass, the greater the inertia and vice versa.

The size of a rubber ball and stone will have different masses in which that of the stone will be greater. This is as a result of the difference in the nature of the substances which are used to make both items mentioned above.

This is therefore the reason why  a rubber ball and a stone of the same size as having more inertia(mass) where chosen as the most appropriate choice in this scenario.

Calculate how much work is required to launch a spacecraft of mass m from the surface of the earth (mass mE, radius RE) and plac
mylen [45]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the conservation of energy, through the balance between the work done and its respective transformation from the gravitational potential energy.

Mathematically the conservation of these two energies can be given through

W = U_f - U_i

Where,

W = Work

U_f = Final gravitational Potential energy

U_i = Initial gravitational Potential energy

When the spacecraft of mass m is on the surface of the earth then the energy possessed by it

U_i = \frac{-GMm}{R}

Where

M = mass of earth

m = Mass of spacecraft

R = Radius of earth

Let the spacecraft is now in an orbit whose attitude is R_{orbit} \approx R then the energy possessed by the spacecraft is

U_f = \frac{-GMm}{2R}

Work needed to put it in orbit is the difference between the above two

W = U_f - U_i

W = -GMm (\frac{1}{2R}-\frac{1}{R})

Therefore the work required to launch a spacecraft from the surface of the Eart andplace it ina circularlow earth orbit is

W = \frac{GMm}{2R}
