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

Iteru [2.4K]

Answer: 12Mg/h

Explanation:

Let the spring is compressed by a distance x,before the lift stops,then

Mg(h+x)= 1/2 kx^2 ............... 1

Kx - Mg = M ( 5g ) ............ 2

Make x the subject in equation 2

Kx = 5Mg + Mg

Kx = 6Mg

x = 6Mg/k ............ 3

Put equation 3 into 1

Mg ( h + x ) = 1/2 kx^2

Mgh + Mgx = 1/2kx^2

Mgh + Mg × 6Mg/k = 1/2k × ( 6Mg/k )^2

Mgh + Mg× 6Mg/k = 1/2k 36M^2g^2/ k^2

h =18Mg/k - 6Mg/h

K = 12Mg/h

Kazeer [188]
I am thinking that maybe the problem is not with the calibration. It might be that the buffered solution is already expired since at this point the solution is already not stable and will give a different pH reading than what is expected.

The best scientific reason for a scientist to accept a specific theory is?
lions [1.4K]

Answer:

The theory is supported by all the available observations and data.

Explanation: The scientific community will accept a theory when a sufficient body of evidence supports it. This includes experiments that refute other potential theories. Experiments should also be carried out that attempt to disprove the theory but cannot.

It should not matter who proposed the theory or who supports it, and instead should entirely be based on the quality and abundance of data supporting it.

Hope this helps!

A person swings a 0.546-kg tether ball tied to a 4.56-m rope in an approximately horizontal circle. If the maximum tension the r
Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

2.1 rad/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of a tether ball, m = 0.546 kg

Length of a rope, l =  4.56 m

The maximum tension the rope can withstand before breaking is 11.0 N

We need to find the maximum angular speed of the ball. Let v is the linear velocity. The maximum tension is balanced by the centripetal force acting on it. It can be given by :

F=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}\\\\v=\sqrt{\dfrac{Fr}{m}} \\\\v=\sqrt{\dfrac{11\times 4.56}{0.546}} \\\\=9.584\ m/s

Let \omega is the angular speed of the ball. The relation between the angular speed and angular velocity is given by :

v=r\omega\\\\\omega=\dfrac{v}{r}\\\\=\dfrac{9.584}{4.56}\\\\=2.1\ rad/s

So, the maximum angular speed of the ball is 2.1 rad/s.
