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

Determine the magnitude and direction of the resultant force of the following free body diagram.
Papessa [141]

Answer:

The magnitude and direction of the resultant force are approximately 599.923 newtons and 36.405°.

Explanation:

First, we must calculate the resultant force (\vec F), in newtons, by vectorial sum:

\vec F = [(-200\,N)\cdot \cos 60^{\circ}+(400\,N)\cdot \cos 45^{\circ}+300\,N]\,\hat{i} + [(200\,N)\cdot \sin 60^{\circ} + (400\,N)\cdot \sin 45^{\circ}-100\,N]\,\hat{j} (1)

\vec F = 182.843\,\hat{i} + 356.048\,\hat{j}

Second, we calculate the magnitude of the resultant force by Pythagorean Theorem:

\|\vec F\| = \sqrt{(482.843\,N)^{2}+(356.048\,N)^{2}}

\|\vec F\| \approx 599.923\,N

Let suppose that direction of the resultant force is an standard angle. According to (1), the resultant force is set in the first quadrant:

\theta = \tan^{-1}\left(\frac{356.048\,N}{482.843\,N} \right)

Where \theta is the direction of the resultant force, in sexagesimal degrees.

\theta \approx 36.405^{\circ}

The magnitude and direction of the resultant force are approximately 599.923 newtons and 36.405°.

Pls help me… I missed the whole lesson and I have no clue what to do-
galben [10]

Answer:

1) 50 facing towards the right

2) 150 facing right

3) 200 facing right

4) 0- no direction

5) 50- facing left

6) 50 facing right

Explanation:

forces in opposite directions and equal magnitudes counteract each other. in number 2 they face the same direction so they would just be added. in number 4 they oppose each other so would be subtracted

How does the lever arm change if you decrease the angle of the force?
Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

The lever arm could decrease or increase depending of the initial angle.

Explanation:

The lever arm d is calculated by:

d = rsin(θ)

where r is the radius and θ the angle between the force and the radius.

So, the increse or decrees of d depends of the sin of the angle θ, if the initial angle is greather than 90° and the angle decrease to an angle closer to 90°, the lever arm will increase but if the initial angle is 90° or lower and the angle decrease, the lever arm will decrease.

When objects are heated they tend to expand because
densk [106]
Hello!
===
When objects are heated, their molecules tend to vibrate fast. As they vibrate, the space between each atom increases. This keeps on happening, and the object expands until it has cooled down.
===
Hope this helps! :)
