The distance of the ship from the shore is 1020m

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given:

Speed, s = 340 m/s

Time, t = 10s

Distance, x = ?

The sound is going to have to go to shore, then come back.

The total round-trip distance is

D = speed X time

D = (340 m/s) * (6.0 s)

D = 2,040 m

But as previously stated, the sound had to get there, then come back.  So the actual ship-to-shore distance is only half that.

x = D/2

x = \frac{2040}{2} \\\\x = 1020m

Therefore, the distance of the ship from the shore is 1020m

For maximum radiation protection the suggested distance between array fan-beam scanner source and the operator is:
krok68 [10]

For maximum radiation protection the suggested distance between array fan-beam scanner source and the operator is 2m.

The Fan beam 5 position reference system (PRS) uses accurate time-of-flight laser technology to determine vessel position relative to custom reflectors.

A fan beam allows only the measurement of the azimuth angle. A fan beam, one with a narrow beam width in azimuth and a broad beam width in elevation, can be obtained by illuminating an asymmetrical section of the paraboloid.

The operators’ desk should be positioned at least 1m away from a pencil beam, and at least 2m from a fan-beam system. Some older models, that are not now common, require a distance of 3.5 m.

Consider three force vectors F~ 1 with magnitude 43 N and direction 38◦ , F~ 2 with magnitude 26 N and direction −140◦ , and F~
Rama09 [41]

Answer:

34.70 N

Explanation:

Given :

F~ 1 = 43 N in direction 38◦

F~ 2 = 26 N in direction −140◦

F~ 3 = 27 N in direction 110◦

Therefore,

F~x = 43 cos (38) + 26 cos (-140) + 27 cos (110)

      = 43  (0.7) + 26  (-0.7) + 27  (-0.3)

      =  3.8

F~y = 43 sin (38) + 26 sin (-140) + 27 sin (110)

      = 43  (0.6) + 26  (-0.6) + 27  (0.9)

      = 34.5

so, F~ = $ \sqrt{3.8^2 + 34.5^2}$

          = 34.70 N

An 800-kHz radio signal is detected at a point 4.5 km distant from a transmitter tower. The electric field amplitude of the sign
saul85 [17]

Answer:

2.1\times 10^{-9} T

Explanation:

We are given that

Frequency,f=800KHz=800\times 10^{3} Hz

1kHz=10^{3} Hz

Distance,d=4.5 km=4.5\times 10^{3} m

1 km=1000 m

Electric field,E=0.63V/m

We have to find the magnetic field amplitude of the signal at that point.

c=3\times 10^8 m/s

We know that

B=\frac{E}{c}

B=\frac{0.63}{3\times 10^8}=0.21\times 10^{-8} T

B=2.1\times 10^{-9} T
