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

Vector → A points due north and vector → B points due west. Both vectors have the same magnitude. Which of the following vectors
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

B - A

Explanation:

For the combination of 2 vector to due southwest, 1 vector must due south and the other vector due west. Since vector B is already due west, vector A should due south. As vector A is already due north, vector -A would due south. So the combination of B + (-A) or B - A should points southwest
