How does a doppler radar work?

1 answer:

7 0

A Doppler radar is a specialized radar that uses the Doppler effect to produce velocity data about objects at a distance. It does this by bouncing a microwave signal off a desired target and analyzing how the object's motion has altered the frequency of the returned signal.

The magnitude of a velocity vector is called speed. Suppose that a wind is blowing from the direction N45°W at a speed of 50 km/

velikii [3]

To solve this problem, you must figure out (in vector form) both the wind vector and plane vector

w⃗ = wind vector

P⃗ = plane vector

To get the true course of the plane, you need to add the plane and wind vectors, the formula would be

w⃗ +P⃗ ,

which will result to the ground speed.

ground speed=||w⃗ +P⃗ ||

Using the planar representation of your situation, this will help you understand the equation, use this to make the equation more understandable.

w⃗ =AB¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯, P⃗ =AC¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯

the smaller circle is of radius 50 (similar to the wind speed) and the larger circle is of radius 200 (similar to the plane vector. To get the coordinates of these two vectors, use polar coordinates.

Let East be 0 degrees, so since the wind vector is on the circle of radius 50, we have:

w⃗ =⟨50cos(135),50sin(135)⟩=⟨−252√, 252√⟩.

P⃗ =⟨200cos(60),200sin(60)⟩=⟨100,\1003√⟩.

w⃗ +P⃗ =⟨100−252√ , 1003√+252√⟩

||w⃗ +P⃗ ||=(100−252√)2+(1003√+252√)2

√≈218.349218.

A dolphin can swim at a constant speed of 12.5 m/s. How

myrzilka [38]

Answer:

$\boxed {\tt 3.6 \ seconds}$

Explanation:

Time can be found by dividing the distance by the speed.

$t=\frac{d}{s}$

The distance is 45 meters and the speed is 12.5 meters per second.

$d= 45 \ m \\s= 12.5 \ m/s$

$t=\frac{45 \ m}{12.5 \ m/s}$

Divide. Note that the meters, or "m" will cancel each other out.

$t=\frac{45 }{12.5 \ s}$

$t=3.6 \ s$

It will take the dolphin 3.6 seconds to swim a distance of 45 meters are 12.5 meters per second.

in a car moving at constant acceleration, you travel 230 mm between the instants at which the speedometer reads 40 km/hkm/h and

Ronch [10]

The acceleration of the car is 0.8049 $m/s^{2}$ .It takes 13.802s to travel the 230 m.

<h3>What is acceleration?</h3>

In mechanics, acceleration refers to the rate at which an object's velocity with respect to time varies. Acceleration is a vector quantity (in that they have magnitude and direction). The direction of an object's acceleration is determined by the direction of the net force acting on it. Newton's Second Law states that the combined effect of two factors determines how much an item accelerates:

(i) It follows that the magnitude of the net balance of all external forces acting on the object is directly proportional to the magnitude of this net resulting force, and

(ii) the mass of the thing, depending on the materials out of which it is constructed, is inversely proportional to the mass of the thing.

Calculations:

40 km/hr ----- 11.11m/s

80 km/hr ----- 22.22m/s

$v^{2} -u^{2} =2as\\22.22^{2} - 11.11^{2} = 2 x a x 230\\ 370.296=460a\\ a= 0.8049m/s^{2} \\$

Time taken

v-u=at

22.22-11.11= 0.8049 x t

t=13.802s
