a system that uses reflected radio waves to detect objects and to measure their distance and speed is called

1 answer:

3 0

Such system is called RADAR (RAdio Detection And Ranging).

The Radar emits radio waves, that are reflected back by the object. Since the speed of the radio waves is known (their speed is equal to the speed of light), by measuring the time the waves take to come back to the source it is possible to infer the distance they covered, and so the distance of the object.

How fast should a rocket ship move for its mass to be dilated to 167% of its rest mass?

andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

The two forces acting on rockets at the moment of launch are the thrust upwards and the weight downwards. Weight is the force due to gravity and is calculated (at the Earth’s surface) by multiplying the mass (kilograms) by 9.8.The resultant force on each rocket is calculated using the equation resultant force = thrust – weight.

Hopefully, this answer helps you! :)

I drop an egg from a certain distance and it takes the egg 3.74 seconds to reach the ground. How high up was the egg?

Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

B. 68.6m

Explanation:

Free Fall Motion

When a body is left to move in the air with no friction, the motion is ruled only by the force of gravity. The vertical distance a body travels in the air after a time t is .

$\displaystyle y=\frac{gt^2}{2}$

We know the egg takes 3.74 seconds to reach the ground. The height it was launched from is

$\displaystyle y=\frac{(9.8)(3.474)^2}{2}$

$\displaystyle y=68.54\ m$

The closest correct option is

B. 68.6m

Suppose that the acceleration of a model rocket is proportional to the difference between 100 ft/sec and the rocket's velocity.

sp2606 [1]

Answer:

Explanation:

initial velocity, u = 0

final velocity, v = 80 ft/s

acceleration, a = 150 ft/s²

Let the time taken is t.

v = u + at

80 = 0 + 150 x t

t = 0.53 second

Answer:

D,B,C,A,C

Explanation:

I believe that is the correct answers but it is unclear. I don't think the key for the second last question would let the current flowing so the bulb would be off.
