Which of the following is not true about the Global Positioning Systems (GPS)?

Physics
1 answer:
Mrrafil [7]3 years ago
7 0

Answer: Option (a) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Global Positioning Systems (GPS) is a system which uses a network of satellites to construct maps. So, that it would be easy to trace location of a person, or to reach over a certain place.

It helps an individual by showing the route of destination wherever he/she wants to reach along with the total time to reach over the place.

Thus, GPS can determine the elevation of a given area and also it can determine latitude and longitude of a given area. As each GPS satellite broadcasts with a high power, narrow bandwidth, down link signal which can be received by our small hand held receiver antenna called mobile phone.

A GPS cannot determine the composition of soil on mountain ranges.

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options, GPS can determine the composition of soil on mountain ranges is not true about the Global Positioning Systems (GPS).

Warm air is more dense than cool air. Warm air is less dense than cool air Warm air and cool air have the same density
Wewaii [24]

Answer:

You are exactly right. The molecules in hot air are moving faster than the molecules in cold air. Because of this, the molecules in hot air tend to be further apart on average, giving hot air a lower density. That means, for the same volume of air, hot air has fewer molecules and so it weighs less

In tae-kwon-do, a hand is slammed down onto a target at a speed of 10 m/s and comes to a stop during the 7.0 ms collision. Assum
wlad13 [49]

Answer:

(A) Impulse = 9Ns

(B) F = 1286N

Explanation:

Impulse = change in momentum = m(v-u)

v = 0 (the hand comes to a stop)

u = -10m/s

Mass = 0.9kg

Impulse = 0.9 ×(0- (-10))

= 9Ns

(B) F×t = Impulse

F = Impulse/ t

t = 7ms = 7×10-³

F = 9/ (7×10-³)

F = 1286N.

What is the largest tsunami ever recorded
Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

A tsunami with a record run-up height of 1720 feet occurred in Lituya Bay, Alaska. On the night of July 9, 1958, an earthquake along the Fairweather Fault in the Alaska Panhandle loosened about 40 million cubic yards (30.6 million cubic meters) of rock high above the northeastern shore of Lituya Bay.

A motor has an armature resistance of 3.75 Ω . Part A If it draws 9.10 A when running at full speed and connected to a 120-V lin
bulgar [2K]

Back emf is 85.9 V.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given-

Resistance, R = 3.75Ω

Current, I = 9.1 A

Supply Voltage, V = 120 V

Back emf = ?

Assumption - There is no effects of inductance.

A motor will have a back emf that opposes the supply voltage, as the motor speeds up the back emf increases and has the effect that the difference between the supply voltage and the back emf is what causes the current to flow through the armature resistance.

So if 9.1 A flows through the resistance of 3.75Ω then by Ohms law,

The voltage across the resistance would be

v = I x R

  = 9.1 x 3.75

  = 34.125 volts

We know,

supply voltage = back emf + voltage across the resistance

By plugging in the values,

120 V = back emf + 34.125 V

Back emf = 120 - 34.125

                = 85.9 Volts

Therefore, back emf is 85.9 V.
