Complete Question

A satellite in geostationary orbit is used to transmit data via electromagnetic radiation. The satellite is at a height of 35,000 km above the surface of the earth, and we assume it has an isotropic power output of 1 kW (although, in practice, satellite antennas transmit signals that are less powerful but more directional).

Reception devices pick up the variation in the electric field vector of the electromagnetic wave sent out by the satellite. Given the satellite specifications listed in the problem introduction, what is the amplitude E0 of the electric field vector of the satellite broadcast as measured at the surface of the earth? Use ϵ0=8.85×10^−12C/(V⋅m) for the permittivity of space and c=3.00×10^8m/s for the speed of light.

Answer:

The electric field vector of the satellite broadcast as measured at the surface of the earth is  E_o = 6.995 *10^{-6} \ V/m

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The height of the satellite is  r  = 35000 \ km  =  3.5*10^{7} \ m

      The power output of the satellite is P  = 1 \ KW  =  1000 \ W

       

Generally the intensity of the electromagnetic radiation of the satellite at the surface of the earth is  mathematically represented as  

     I  =  \frac{P}{4 \pi r^2}

substituting values

      I  =  \frac{1000}{4 * 3.142 (3.5*10^{7})^2}

      I  = 6.495*10^{-14} \  W/m^2

This intensity of the electromagnetic radiation of the satellite at the surface of the earth can also be   mathematically represented as  

          I  =  c * \epsilon_o * E_o^2

Where E_o is the amplitude of the electric field vector of the satellite broadcast so

         E_o =  \sqrt{\frac{2 * I}{c * \epsilon _o} }

substituting values

          E_o =  \sqrt{\frac{2 * 6.495 *10^{-14}}{3.0 *10^{8} * 8.85*10^{-12}} }

           E_o = 6.995 *10^{-6} \ V/m

A 35 kg box rests on the back of a truck. The coefficient of static friction bet?005 (part 1 of 2)A 35 kg box rests on the back
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer with Explanation:

We are given that

Mass of box=35 kg

Coefficient of static friction between box and truck bed=0.202

Acceleration due to gravity=9.8 m/s^2

a.We have to find the force by which the box accelerates forward.

Force by which box accelerates=\mu mg=0.202\times 9.8\times 35

Force by which box accelerates=62.286 N

b.We have to find the maximum acceleration can the truck have before the box slides.

Force =friction force

ma=\mu mg

a=\mu g=9.8\times 0.202=1.9796 m/s^2

Hence, the truck can have maximum acceleration before the box slide=1.9796 m/s^2

Where does pressure come from?
weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

It is made up of molecules which are pulled down to Earth by gravity. That pull makes molecules bump into each other, exerting pressure. Our bodies are specially adapted to living under 1 kilogram per square centimeter (14.7 pounds per square inch) of pressure pushing down on us at sea level!

weeeeeb [17]

Answer: The multiplication factor is 72.136 cm. This will give you the unit conversion when multiplied with 28.4 inch

Explanation:

1 inch = 2.54 cm

28.4 inches = x cm

Xcm= (28.4 inches × 2.54cm)/1 inch

X= 72.136

What is the wavelength of a wave that has a frequency of 841 Hz if the speed of the wave is 457 m/s?
Dvinal [7]

Answer:

<h3>The answer is 0.54 m</h3>

Explanation:

The wavelength of a wave can be found by using the formula

\lambda =  \frac{c}{f}  \\

where

c is the velocity

f is the frequency

So we have

\lambda =  \frac{457}{841}  \\  = 0.543400713...

We have the final answer as

<h3>0.54 m</h3>

Hope this helps you
