By definition,
q = 1.22y/D

Where,
q = min. angle
y = wavelength
D = Aperture diameter = diameter of the antenna

At distance "x" from the antenna,
L =xq = 1.22xy/D
Where, L = Min. distance

But, y =c/f = (3*10^8)/(16*10^9) = 0.01875 m

Substituting;
L = 1.22*5*10^3*0.01875/2.1 = 54.46 m

A 2.1 ✕ 103-kg car starts from rest at the top of a 5.9-m-long driveway that is inclined at 19° with the horizontal. If an avera
Lina20 [59]

Answer:

3.9 m/s

Explanation:

We are given that

Mass of car,m=2.1\times 10^3 kg

Initial velocity,u=0

Distance,s=5.9 m

\theta=19^{\circ}

Average friction force,f=4.0\times 10^3 N

We have to find the speed of the car at the bottom of the driveway.

Net force,F_{net}=mgsin\theta-f=2.1\times 10^3\times 9.8sin19-4.0\times 10^3

Where g=9.8 m/s^2

Acceleration,a=\frac{F_{net}}{m}=\frac{2.1\times 10^3\times 9.8sin19-4.0\times 10^3}{2.1\times 10^3}

v=\sqrt{2as}

v=\sqrt{2\times \frac{2.1\times 10^3\times 9.8sin19-4.0\times 10^3}{2.1\times 10^3}\times 5.9}

v=3.9 m/s

Deffense [45]

Answer:

the mass of the air in the classroom = 2322 kg

Explanation:

given:

A classroom is about 3 meters high, 20 meters wide and 30 meters long.

If the density of air is 1.29 kg/m3

find:

what is the mass of the air in the classroom?

density = mass / volume

where mass (m) = 1.29 kg/m³

volume = 3m x 20m x 30m = 1800 m³

plugin values into the formula

  1.29 kg/m³   =  <u>      mass    </u>

                             1800 m³

mass =  1.29 kg/m³  ( 1800 m³ )

mass = 2322 kg

therefore,

the mass of the air in the classroom = 2322 kg
