Answer : (A) "It reflects waves off of objects, measuring the difference of the waves it sends and receives".

Explanation :

In Doppler radar system, radio waves emitted from an antenna. It gives information about the motion of targets and their position.

Phase change between a transmitted wave and received echo is calculated using Doppler radar system.

It also gives radial velocity i.e. velocity in the direction of radar. If the phase shift is positive this means the motion is toward the radar and if the phase is negative this implies the motion is away from the radar.

So, the correct option is (A) "It reflects waves off of objects, measuring the difference of the waves it sends and receives".

<span>A Doppler radar system transmits radio waves off of objects
and receives what bounces back.

The system measures the difference between the frequency
of the waves it sends and the frequency of the waves it receives.

If the waves come back at a higher frequency than they were sent,
that means the object is moving toward the radar antenna.

If the waves come back at a lower frequency than they were sent,
that means the object is moving away from the radar antenna.

This is kind of what choice-A is trying to say.

Imagine that heike onnes cooled mercury down to absolute zero and there was still resistance. would he have discovered supercond

likoan [24]

No, because superconductivity cannot occur if there is resistance

In addition to explaining electrical resistance, equilibrium distance theory also foretells the existence of superconductivity. According to its postulates, electrical resistivity decreases with distance from the equilibrium. There is only superconductivity at zero distance, with no resistance

<h3>What is Superconductivity ?</h3>

The ability of some materials to transmit electric current with virtually little resistance is known as superconductivity.

This ability has intriguing and maybe beneficial ramifications. Low temperatures are necessary for a material to exhibit superconductor behaviour. H. K. made the initial discovery of superconductivity in 1911.
Aluminum, magnesium diboride, niobium, copper oxide, yttrium barium, and iron pnictides are a few well-known examples of superconductors.

A seagull flying horizontally over the ocean at a constant speed of 2.60 m/s carries a small fish in its mouth. It accidentally

Ivenika [448]

(a) +2.60 m/s

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

- a horizontal uniform motion, at constant speed

- a vertical motion, at constant acceleration (acceleration of gravity, $g=-9.8 m/s^2$ , downward)

In this part we are only interested in the horizontal motion. As we said the horizontal component of the fish's velocity does not change, therefore its value when the fish reaches the ocean is equal to its initial value, which is the speed at which the seagull was flying (because it was flying horizontally):

$v_x = +2.60 m/s$

(b) -17.2 m/s

The vertical component of the fish's velocity instead follows the equation:

$v_y = u_y +gt$

where

$u_y = 0$ is the initial vertical velocity, which is zero

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

t is the time

Since the fish reaches the ocean at t = 1.75 s, we can substitute this time into the formula to find the final vertical velocity:

$v_y = 0+(-9.8)(1.75)=-17.2 m/s$

where the negative sign indicates the direction (downward).

(c)

The horizontal component of the fish's velocity would increase

The vertical component of the fish's velocity would stay the same.

As we said from part (a) and (b):

- The horizontal component of the fish's velocity is constant during the motion and it is equal to the initial velocity of the seagull -> so if the seagull's initial speed increases, the horizontal velocity of the fish will increase too

- The vertical component of the fish's velocity does not depend on the original speed of the seagull, therefore it is not affected.

Which tool would you use to measure the amount of rainfall? a. graduated cylinder b. stopwatch c. scale d. thermometer

Fittoniya [83]

A graduated cylinder measures the volume of a liquid.

A stopwatch measures the amount of time that elapses.

A scale measures the mass of objects.

A thermometer measures the temperature of any object.

Because we are measuring rain, a liquid, we would want to use a tool that would allow us to collect the rain for measuring. Therefore, the tool e would use to measure the amount of rainfall would be A. a graduated cylinder.
