Consider a civilization broadcasting a signal with a power of 1.2×104 watts. The Arecibo radio telescope, which is about 300 met

ers in diameter, could detect this signal if it is coming from as far away as 110 light-years. Suppose instead that the signal is being broadcast from the other side of the Milky Way Galaxy, about 70000 light-years away.

The same power (1.9×10^4 watts) gets diminished by Inverse square law 
<span>(ratio of distances)² </span>
<span>= (138/70000)² </span>
<span>= 3.886506 X 10^-6 . </span>
<span>This is the diminution factor for the given sensitivity of the telescope. But at 3.8865 millionth below the sensitivity its is far below detection; it needs to be enhanced by collecting the energy over an area so many times more (by an aperture multiplied by same factor) </span>
<span>1/[3.886506 X 10^-6] = 257298.88 </span>
<span>In other words the diameter should have the ratio of square root of this </span>
<span>(70000/138). </span>
<span>This multiplied by 300m dish gives </span>
<span>300 X (70000/138) = 152173.913 m = 152.1739 km. </span>
<span>This should be the aperture of the new telescope for detecting the signal.</span>

the force of a bag of potatoes on a vegetable stand is 22.5 N down. what is the force of the vegetable stand on the bag of potat
natima [27]

As per Newton's III law we can say that

Force applied by object 1 on object 2 is always equal in magnitude and opposite in direction of the force that object 2 apply on object 1.

So we can say it as

F_{12} = -F_{21}

now here above question is based upon the same

if a bag of vegetables applied a force F = 22.5 N of the surface stand the the same surface will apply same magnitude of force in opposite direction on the vegetables bag

So our answer will be F = 22.5 N (upwards).

A force F is used to raise a 4-kg mass M from the ground to a height of 5 m. What is the work done by the force F? (Note: sin 60
miskamm [114]

Answer:

Answer:196 Joules

Explanation:

Hello

Note:  I think the text in parentheses corresponds to another exercise, or this is incomplete, I will solve it with the first part of the problem

the work  is the product of a force applied to a body and the displacement of the body in the direction of this force

assuming that the force goes in the same direction of the displacement, that is upwards

W=F*D (work, force,displacement)

the force necessary to move the object will be

F=mg(mass *gravity)\\F=4kgm*9.8\frac{m}{s^{2} }\\ F=39.2 Newtons\\replace\\\\W=39.2 N*5m\\W=196\ Joules

Answer:196 Joules

A 90 kg body is taken to a planet where the acceleration due to
Serggg [28]

Answer:

2250N

Explanation:

W= mg,

where W= weight

m= mass

g= acceleration due to gravity

Given that the body is 90kg, m= 90kg.

Acceleration due to gravity of planet

= 2.5(10)

= 25 m/s²

Weight of body on planet

= 90(25)

= 2250N

*Mass is the amount of matter an object has and is constant (same on earth and the planet).
