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

A mass of 5kg starts from rest and pulls down vertically on a string wound around a disk-shaped, massive pulley. The mass of the
Paha777 [63]

Answer:

c. V = 2 m/s

Explanation:

Using the conservation of energy:

E_i =E_f

so:

Mgh = \frac{1}{2}IW^2 +\frac{1}{2}MV^2

where M is the mass, g the gravity, h the altitude, I the moment of inertia of the pulley, W the angular velocity of the pulley and V the velocity of the mass.

Also we know that:

V = WR

Where R is the radius of the disk, so:

W = V/R

Also, the moment of inertia of the disk is equal to:

I = \frac{1}{2}MR^2

I = \frac{1}{2}(5kg)(2m)^2

I = 10 kg*m^2

so, we can write the initial equation as:

Mgh = \frac{1}{2}IV^2/R^2 +\frac{1}{2}MV^2

Replacing the data:

(5kg)(9.8)(0.3m) = \frac{1}{2}(10)V^2/(2)^2 +\frac{1}{2}(5kg)V^2

solving for V:

(5kg)(9.8)(0.3m) = V^2(\frac{1}{2}(10)1/4 +\frac{1}{2}(5kg))

V = 2 m/s

What is the number of waves that pass a fixed ping in a given amount of time?
Viktor [21]
The number of waves that pass a fixed point in a given amount of time is wave frequency. Wave frequency can be measured by counting the number of crests (high points) of waves that pass the fixed point in 1 second or some other time period. The higher the number is, the greater the frequency of the waves. :)
