An 800-kHz radio signal is detected at a point 2.7 km distant from a transmitter tower. The electric field amplitude of the sign

al at that point is 0.36 V/m. Assume that the signal power is radiated uniformly in all directions and that radio waves incident upon the ground are completely absorbed. What is the intensity of the radio signal at that point?
a. 240 µW/m^2
b. 340 µW/m^2
c. 86 µW/m^2
d. 170 µW/m^2
e. 120 µW/m^2

Answer:

Option D is correct: 170 µW/m²

Explanation:

Given that,

Frequency f = 800kHz

Distance d = 2.7km = 2700m

Electric field Eo = 0.36V/m

Intensity of radio signal

The intensity of radial signal is given as

I = c•εo•Eo²/2

Where c is speed of light

c = 3×10^8m/s

εo = 8.85 × 10^-12 C²/Nm²

I = 3×10^8 × 8.85×10^-12 × 0.36²/2

I = 1.72 × 10^-4W/m²

I = 172 × 10^-6 W/m²

I = 172 µW/m²

Then, the intensity of the radio wave at that point is approximately 170 µW/m²

One speed skater starts across a frozen lake at an average speed of 8 m/s. Ten seconds later, a second speed skater starts from
Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

40 s

Explanation:

After 10 seconds, the first skater would have a 8m/s * 10s = 80 m head start

Let t be the number of seconds after the second skater starts will the second skater overtake the first skater

The distance traveled by the first skater after t seconds is

s_1 = v_1t = 8t

Similarly the distance traveled by the 2nd skater after t seconds is

s_2 = v_2t = 10t

Since the 2nd skater catches up to the 1st one after 80 m behind, the distance traveled by the 2nd one must be 80m greater than the distance of the 1st skater

s_2 = s_1 + 80

We can substitute s_1 = 8t, s_2 = 10t

10t = 8t + 80

2t = 80

t = 80 / 2 = 40 s

A scientist notices that an oil slick floating on water when viewed from above has many different rainbow colors reflecting off
Semenov [28]

Answer:

Explanation:

In case of oil slick a thin layer of oil is formed on water . This thin layer creates a rainbow of colour . The phenomenon is due to interference of light waves , one reflected from the upper surface of oil and the other reflected from the lower surface of the oil.

For formation of bright colour

2 μ t = ( 2n + 1 ) λ / 2

μ is refractive index of oil ,  t is thickness of oil layer  λ is wave length of light falling on the layer .

given μ = 1.2 ,   λ = 750 x 10⁻⁹   ,

2 x 1.2 t = ( 2n + 1 ) 750 x 10⁻⁹ / 2

For minimum thickness n = 0

2.4 t = 375 x 10⁻⁹

t = 156.25 n m

B ) If the refractive index of layer of medium below oil is less than that of oil , the condition of formation of colour changes

The new condition is

2 μ t = n λ

2  x 1.5 t  = 750 nm ,         n = 1 for minimum wavelength .

t = 250 nm

C ) Light mostly transmitted means dark spot is formed at that point .

For that to be observed from water side , the condition is

2 μ t = ( 2n + 1 ) λ / 2

λ = 4μ t / ( 2n + 1 )

For maximum wavelength n = 0

λ = 4μ t

= 4 x 1.5 x 200 nm

= 1200 nm .

Certain neutron stars (extremely dense stars) are believed to be rotating at about 1000 rev/s. If such a star has a radius of 14
Sever21 [200]

Answer:

minimum mass of the neutron star = 1.624 × 10^30 kg

Explanation:

For  a material to remain on the surface of a rapidly rotating neuron star, the magnitude oĺf the gravitational acceleration on the material must be equal to the magnitude of the centripetal acceleration of the rotating neuron star.

This can be represented by the explanations in the attached document.

minimum mass of the neutron star = 1.624 × 10^30 kg

How are the concepts of impulse and momentum related?
butalik [34]

Answer:

The impulse experienced by the object equals the change in momentum of the object. In equation form, F • t = m • Δ v. In a collision, objects experience an impulse; the impulse causes and is equal to the change in momentum. ... The collision would change the halfback's speed and thus his momentum.
