Answer:

95.16 m

Explanation:

L = Range of radar = 7.8 km

\lambda = Wavelength = 2 cm

d = Diameter of antenna = 2 m

D = Distance

We have the relation

\dfrac{D}{L}=1.22\dfrac{\lambda}{d}\\\Rightarrow D=1.22\dfrac{L\lambda}{d}\\\Rightarrow D=1.22\dfrac{7800\times 0.02}{2}\\\Rightarrow D=95.16\ m

The smallest distance in meters that two speedboats can be from each other and still be resolved as two separate objects by the radar system is 95.16 m

An object travels along a straight, horizontal surface with an initial speed of 2 ms. The position of the object as a function o
pashok25 [27]

Answer:

The options are not provided, so i will answer in a general way.

We know that:

The movement is along a straight horizontal surface, then we have one-dimensional motion.

The speed is 2m/s

We want a graph of position vs time.

Now, remember the relation:

Distance = Speed*Time

Then we can write the position as a function of time as:

P(t) = 2m/s*t + P0

Where t is our variable, that represents time in seconds, and P0 is the position at time t = 0seconds, we can assume that this is zero.

Then the equation is:

P(t) = 2m/s*t

And the graph is something like:

A 2000 kg car experiences a constant braking force
Marat540 [252]
In that case, there are three possible scenarios:

-- If the braking force is less than the force delivered by the engine,
then the car will continue to accelerate, and the brakes will eventually
overheat and erupt in flame.

-- If the braking force is exactly equal to the force delivered by the engine,
then the car will continue moving at a constant speed, and the brakes will
eventually overheat and erupt in flame.

-- If the braking force is greater than the force delivered by the engine,
then the car will slow down and eventually stop.  If it stops soon enough,
then the absorption of kinetic energy by the brakes will end before the
brakes overheat and erupt in flame.  Even if the engine is still delivering
force, the brakes can be kept locked in order to keep the car stopped ...
They do not absorb and dissipate any energy when the car is motionless.

Sara is riding her bike down the road at 35 km/hr. She starts to peddle faster as she
steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

Distance covered to top of the hill was : 1.755 km

Explanation:

Initial velocity = 35 km/hr

Acceleration = 2.0 km/hr²

Time taken to accelerate = 3 minutes = 3/60 hours = 1/20 hours

Formula for acceleration : a = Δv /t  

v-u/t    ---where u is initial velocity , v is final velocity and t is time taken for acceleration

v- 35 / 0.05 = 2

v = 35.10 km/h

Formula for distance is product of speed and time

Distance covered = 35.10 * 0.05 = 1.755 km

Does a sled have inertia while sitting still
madam [21]

Answer:

Yes, a sled has inertia while sitting still.

Explanation:

From Newton's law of inertia, an object at rest will remain at rest unless it is acted upon by an external force. The reason the object will remain at rest unless an external force acts is because of inertia. Inertia means the resistance of an object to motion.

Thus, a sled hammer at rest will remain at rest unless it is acted upon by an external force. So we can conclude that it has Inertia.
