Due to rising demand for higher bandwidth and faster speed connections, fiber optic transmission is becoming more and more common in the developing world. Optical fiber has had a great impact on the way we receive and transmit signals. They have largely replaced copper wire communications in core networks in the developed world, because of its advantages over electrical transmission. But they brought some difficulties as well.

Following are the advantages and disadvantages of optical fiber:

Advantages

  • They provide extremely High Bandwidth.
  • Optical fiber is capable of low power loss at long distances.
  • Optical fiber is highly resistant to electromagnetic disturbances. They are virtually error free.
  • The data is transferred through light that is why there is no security risk of data being detected.
  • Optical fiber has lesser weight and size as compared to other cables.

Disadvantages

  • They are made of glass that is why they are very fragile and they have to be handled carefully.
  • They are difficult to install. If you bend them too much, they will break. And fiber cable is highly susceptible to damage during installation or construction activities.
  • Extra optical components have to be added to handle dispersion of light at longer distances.
  • Optical fiber costs a lot more than copper cables. The installation itself is very costly.

What is the minimum runway length that will serve? hint: you can solve this problem using ratios without having any additional i
ehidna [41]

There are many factors that determine if an aircraft can operate from a given airport. Of course the availability of certain services, such as fuel, access to air stairs and maintenance are all necessary. But before considering anything else, one must determine if the plane can physically land at an airport, and equally as important, take off.

What is the minimum runway length that will serve?

Looking at aerial views of runways can lead some to the assumption that they are all uniform, big and appropriate for any plane to land. This couldn’t be further from the truth.

A given aircraft type has its own individual set of requirements in regards to these dimensions. The classic 150’ wide runway that can handle a wide-body plane for a large group charter flight isn’t a guarantee at every airport. Knowing the width of available runways is important for a variety of reasons including runway illusion and crosswind condition.

Runways also have different approach categories based on width, and have universal threshold markings that indicate the actual width.

A 10-turn coil of wire having a diameter of 1.0 cm and a resistance of 0.50 Ω is in a 1.0 mT magnetic field, with the coil orien
n200080 [17]

Answer:

The voltage across the capacitor is 1.57 V.

Explanation:

Given that,

Number of turns = 10

Diameter = 1.0 cm

Resistance = 0.50 Ω

Capacitor = 1.0μ F

Magnetic field = 1.0 mT

We need to calculate the flux

Using formula of flux

\phi=NBA

Put the value into the formula

\phi=10\times1.0\times10^{-3}\times\pi\times(0.5\times10^{-2})^2

\phi=7.85\times10^{-7}\ Tm^2

We need to calculate the induced emf

Using formula of induced emf

\epsilon=\dfrac{d\phi}{dt}

Put the value into the formula

\epsilon=\dfrac{7.85\times10^{-7}}{dt}

Put the value of emf from ohm's law

\epsilon =IR

IR=\dfrac{7.85\times10^{-7}}{dt}

Idt=\dfrac{7.85\times10^{-7}}{R}

Idt=\dfrac{7.85\times10^{-7}}{0.50}

Idt=0.00000157=1.57\times10^{-6}\ C

We know that,

Idt=dq

dq=1.57\times10^{-6}\ C

We need to calculate the voltage across the capacitor

Using formula of charge

dq=C dV

dV=\dfrac{dq}{C}

Put the value into the formula

dV=\dfrac{1.57\times10^{-6}}{1.0\times10^{-6}}

dV=1.57\ V

Hence, The voltage across the capacitor is 1.57 V.

A 94.7 kg horizontal circular platform rotates freely with no friction about its center at an initial angular velocity of 1.75 r
Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:

The angular velocity of the platform is 1.114 rad/s.

Explanation:

Step 1:  Given data

Mass of the horizontal circular platform = 94.7 kg

Mass of the monkey = 21.1 kg

Initial angular velocity = 1.75 rad/s

A monkey drops a 9.25 kg bunch of bananas

They hit the platform at 4/5 of its radius from the center

Model the platform as a disk of radius 1.63 m

Step 2: Calculate the moment of inertia of the disk

I = ½ * m * r² = ½ * 94.7 * 1.63² = 125.80

Step 3: Calculate the initial angular momentum

I = 125.80 * 1.75 = 220.15

Step 4: Calculate the moment of inertia for the bananas

For the bananas, r = 4/5 * 1.63 = 1.304 m

I = 9.25 * 1.304² = 15.73

Step 5: Calculate Moment of inertia for the monkey

I = 21.1 * 1.63² = 56.06

Step 6: Total moment of inertia = 125.80 + 15.73 + 56.06 = 197.59

Step 7: Calculate final angular momentum = 197.59 * ω

197.59 * ω = 220.15

ω = 220.15 / 197.59

This is approximately 1.114 rad/s.

If you drive 30 miles in 40 minutes, and then 15 miles in 20 minutes, do you have a constant speed?
kompoz [17]

Answer:

A) yes

Explanation:

First section of trip: 30 miles in 40 minutes

Second section of trip: 15 miles in 20 minutes

The formula for speed is distance over time k=\frac{d}{t}

Calculate the speeds for each section of the trip.

First:

k = d/t

k = 30miles/40minutes  <= reduce fraction by 10 (30÷10 and 40÷10)

k = 3 miles / 4 minutes

Second:

k = d/t

k = 15miles/20minutes  <= reduce fraction by 5 (15÷5 and 20÷5)

k = 3 miles / 4 minutes

Therefore there is a constant speed because both sections of the trip are driving at "3 miles / 4 minutes".

3 miles / 4 minutes can be also formatted as:

0.75 miles per minute.
