Which description best explains how a Doppler radar system works?

Physics

Lilit [14]3 years ago

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.

A car and a train move together along straight, parallel paths with the same constant cruising speed v(initial). At t=0 the car
kogti [31]

Answer:

t_1 = \frac{v_i}{a_i}

t_2 = \frac{v_i}{a_i}

Δd = v_it_1 = v_i^2/a_i

Explanation:

As v(t) = v_i + at, when the car is making full stop, v(t_1) = 0 . a = -a_i . Therefore,

0 = v_i - a_it_1\\v_i = a_it_1\\t_1 = \frac{v_i}{a_i}

Apply the same formula above, with v(t_2) = v_i and a = a_i, and the car is starting from 0 speed,  we have

v_i = 0 + a_it_2\\t_2 = \frac{v_i}{a_i}

As s(t) = vt + \frac{at^2}{2}. After t = t_1 + t_2, the car would have traveled a distance of

s(t) = s(t_1) + s(t_2)\\s(t_1) = (v_it_1 - \frac{a_it_1^2}{2})\\ s(t_2) = \frac{a_it_2^2}{2}

Hence s(t) = (v_it_1 - \frac{a_it_1^2}{2}) + \frac{a_it_2^2}{2}

As t_1 = t_2 we can simplify s(t) = v_it_1

After t time, the train would have traveled a distance of s(t) = v_i(t_1 + t_2) = 2v_it_1

Therefore, Δd would be 2v_it_1 - v_it_1 = v_it_1 = v_i^2/a_i

An apple is whirled round in a horizontal circle on the end of a string which is tied to the stalk. It is whirled faster and fas
jek_recluse [69]

when the apple moves in a horizontal circle, the tension force in the string provides the necessary centripetal force to move in circle. the tension in the string is given as

T=mv²/r

where T = tension force in the string , m = mass of the apple

v = speed of apple , r = radius of circle.

clearly , tension force depends on the square of the speed. hence greater the speed, greater will be the tension force.

at some point , the speed becomes large enough that it makes the tension force in the string becomes greater than the tensile strength of the string. at that point , the string breaks

Name 2 different "limiting Factors" that limit the size of a population in a given ecosystem.
Scrat [10]

Answer:    food, water, habitat, and mate.

Explanation:      The common limiting factors in an ecosystem are food, water, habitat, and mate. The availability of these factors will affect the carrying capacity of an environment. As population increases, food demand increases as well
