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

The eagle drops the trout a height of 6.1 m the fish travels 7.9 m horizontaly before hitting the water what is the velocity of
Semenov [28]

The velocity of the eagle is 7.0 m/s

Explanation:

The motion of the fish is a projectile motion, which consists of two independent motions:

- A uniform motion (constant velocity) along the horizontal direction, where the horizontal velocity of the fish is equal to the horizontal velocity of the eagle

- An accelerated motion with constant acceleration (acceleration of gravity) in the vertical direction  

We start by analyzing the vertical motion, using the following suvat equation:

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2

where:

s = 6.1 m is the vertical displacement of the fish

u = 0 is the initial vertical velocity of the fish

a=g=9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

t is the time

Solving for t, we find the time of flight of the fish:

t=\sqrt{\frac{2s}{a}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(6.1)}{9.8}}=1.12 s

Now we know that during this time, the fish travels a horizontal distance of

x = 7.9 m

Therefore, the horizontal velocity of the fish is

v_x = \frac{x}{t}=\frac{7.9}{1.12}=7.0 m/s

And therefore, this is the initial velocity of the eagle.

At an outdoor market, a bunch of bananas attached to the bottom of a vertical spring of force constant 16.0 N/m is set into osci
aksik [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Answer:

4.53 kg

Explanation:

spring constant, K = 16 N/m

Amplitude, A = 20 cm = 0.2 m

Maximum speed, v = 37.6 cm/s = 0.376 m/s

The formula for maximum speed is given by

v = ωA

where, ω is the angular frequency

0.376 = ω x 0.2

ω = 1.88 rad/s

\omega =\sqrt{\frac{K}{m}}

m = \frac{K}{\omega ^{2}}

m = \frac{16}{1.88 ^{2}}

m = 4.53 kg

Thus, the mass of banana bunch is 4.53 kg.

A firefighter with a weight of 707 N slides down a vertical pole with an acceleration of 2.79 m/s2, directed downward. (a) What
DedPeter [7]

Answer:

The vertical force acting on the firefighter = 908.27 N

Explanation:

Force: Force of a body is defined as the product of mass and its acceleration. The S.I unit of force is Newton (N)

The vertical force acting on the firefighter = Force due to the weight of the firefighter + force due to acceleration.

Ft = Fw - Fa

Where Ft = The vertical force acting on the firefighter, Fw = Force due to the weight of the firefighter, Fa = force due to acceleration.

Fw = mg

Making m the subject of formula in the equation above

m = Fw/g................... Equation 1

Where m = mass of the firefighter, g = acceleration due to gravity,

<em>Given: Fw = 707 N, </em>

<em> Constant: g = 9.8 m/s²</em>

Substituting these values into eqaution 1

m = 707/9.8

m = 72.14 kg.

But, Fa = ma

Where a = acceleration of the firefighter.

<em>Given: a = 2.79 m/s², </em>

<em>And m = 72.14 kg</em>

Fa = 72.14 × 2.79

Fa = 201.27 N

Therefore, Ft = 707 + 201.27  = 908.27 N

Ft = 908.27 N

The vertical force acting on the firefighter = 908.27 N
