Radar uses radio waves of a wavelength of 2.4 \({\rm m}\) . The time interval for one radiation pulse is 100 times larger than t

he time of one oscillation; the time between pulses is 10 times larger than the time of one pulse. What is the shortest distance to an object that this radar can detect? Express your answer with the appropriate units.

Answer:

120 m

Explanation:

Given:

wavelength 'λ' = 2.4m

pulse width 'τ'= 100T ('T' is the time of one oscillation)

The below inequality express the range of distances to an object that radar can detect

τc/2 < x < Tc/2 ---->eq(1)

Where, τc/2 is the shortest distance

First we'll calculate Frequency 'f' in order to determine time of one oscillation 'T'

f = c/λ (c= speed of light i.e 3 x 10^{8} m/s)

f= 3 x 10^{8} / 2.4

f=1.25 x  10^{8} hz.

As, T= 1/f

time of one oscillation T= 1/1.25 x  10^{8}

T= 8 x 10^{-9} s

It was given that pulse width 'τ'= 100T

τ= 100 x 8 x 10^{-9} => 800 x 10^{-9} s

From eq(1), we can conclude that the shortest distance to an object that this radar can detect:

x_{min}= τc/2 =>  (800 x 10^{-9} x 3 x 10^{8})/2

x_{min}=120m

katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

60 + 30 = 90

90 divided by 3 = 30

30 divided by 60 = 0.5

so your answer is 0.5 m/s

PLEASE HELP ASAP!!!!!

While falling, both the sheet of paper and the paper ball experience air resistance. But the surface area of the sheet is much more than that of the spherical ball. And air resistance varies directly with surface area. Hence the sheet experiences more air resistance than the ball and it falls more slowly than the paper ball.

Hope that helps!

Brrunno [24]

Answer:

6m/s

Explanation:

the original momentum = mass x velocity = 8x (60+10) = 560

momentum after = mass x velocity of the school bag + mass x velocity of the boy = 10x20 + 60x A

200+60A = 560

A=6
