Answer:

speed, distance  and direction of motion of the object can be determined by analyzing the radio wave.

Explanation:

We know that radar operates by transmitting radio waves to a destination and these waves are comes back to the receiver station. By Considering this transmission and receiver process, we can measure the distance, velocity and path of an object's movement.

Distance can be assessed by taking following consideration,  the velocity of the waves is V. It can help to assess the time made for the waves to be emitted by the radar and felt by the receiver, let the time be t.

Therefore  distance can be determine as D= v*t/2,

here 2 signifies that the distance travelled by the wave in either direction ( from transmitter to receiver and vice verse)

Using the source wave frequency, speed can be computed. In a specific frequency, the radar starts sending out the frequencies and the reflected wave will have a distinct frequency. The velocity can be determine by

v= (\Delta f/f)(c/2),

where\Delta fis the change in frequency and

c is the speed of light (the wave).

Direction can be determine by applying above principle. change in frequency is used to determine the direction in the following way:

When the frequency transition is very low, the object moves away from the radar and vice verse.

A block is at rest on the incline shown in the figure. The coefficients of static and ki- netic friction are μs = 0.62 and μk =
GREYUIT [131]

The frictional force is 218.6 N

Explanation:

The block in the problem is at rest along the inclined surface: this means that the net force acting along the direction parallel to the incline must be zero.

There are two forces acting along this direction:

- The component of the weight parallel to the incline, downward along the plane, of magnitude

mg sin \theta

where

m = 46 kg is the mass

g=9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

\theta=29^{\circ} is the angle of the incline

- The (static) frictional force, acting upward, of magnitude F_f

Since the block is in equilibrium, we can write

mg sin \theta - F_f = 0

And substituting, we find the force of friction:

F_f = mg sin \theta = (46)(9.8)(sin 29^{\circ})=218.6 N

Radiation from the Sun reaching Earth (just outside the atmosphere) has an intensity of 1.39 kW/m2. (a) Assuming that Earth (and
Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

F=5.8\times 10^{8}\ N

F=35.57\times 10^{21}\ N

Explanation:

Given that

Intensity I

I= 1.39\ KW/m^2

Speed\ of \ light = 2.99\times 10^8\ m/s

Radius of earth,R = 6370 Km

We know that surface area of earth, A

A=\pi R^2

A=\pi (6370\times 10^3)^2\ m^2

A=1.27\times 10^{14}\ m^2

As we know that pressure due to intensity given as

P=\dfrac{I}{V}

V =Velocity of light

V=3\times 10^8\ m/s

P=\dfrac{1.39\times 1000}{=3\times 10^8}

P=4.6\times 10^{-6}\ Pa

We know that force F

F = P .A

F=4.6\times 10^{-6}\times 1.27\times 10^{14}\ N

F=5.8\times 10^{8}\ N

b)Gravitational force F

F=G\dfrac{m.M}{r^2}

M = mass\ of\ sun = 2\times 10^{30} kg\\m = mass\ of\ earth = 6\times 10^{24}kg

r =1.5\times 10^{11}\ m

G =6.67\times 10^{-11}Nm^2/kg^2

So F

F=6.67\times 10^{-11}\times \dfrac{2\times 10^{30}\times 6\times 10^{24}kg}{1.5\times 10^{11}}

F=35.57\times 10^{21}\ N
