Through Shannon's Theorem, we can calculate the capacity of the communications channel using the value of its bandwidth and signal-to-noise ratio. The capacity, C, can be expressed as 

C = B × log₂(1 + S/N)

where B is the bandwidth of the channel and S/N is its signal-to-noise ratio.

Since the given SN ratio is in decibels, we must first express it as a ratio with no units as

SN (in decibels) = 10 × log (S/N)
30 = 10log(S/N)
log(S/N) = 3
S/N = 10³ = 1000

Now that we have S/N, we can solve for its capacity (in bits per second) as 

C = 4000 × log₂(1 + 1000) 
C = 39868.91 bps

Thus, the maximum capacity of the channel is 39868 bps or 40 kbps.

Answer: 40 kbps

An old clock has a spring that must be wound to make the clock hands move. Which statement describes the energy of the spring an
kondaur [170]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

When the spring is wound, then it gathers potential energy in the form of tension energy. As it slowly unwinds, the potential energy is converted to kinetic energy of the hands' movements of the clock. This energy is channeled through the use of cogs/gears in the clock.

Which of the following represents energy in its most disordered form? Group of answer choices Chemical-bond energy Electromagnet
gavmur [86]

Answer: Heat Energy

Explanation:

Heat is energy in its most disordered form. heat energy is the random jostling of molecules and is therefore not organized. As cells perform the chemical reactions that generate order within, some energy is inevitably lost in the form of heat. Because the cell is not an isolated system, the heat energy produced by the cell is quickly dispersed into the cell's surroundings where it increases the intensity of the thermal motions of nearby molecules. This increases the entropy of the cell's environment and keeps the cell from violating the second law of thermodynamics.
