A quarter-wave monopole radio antenna (also called a Marconi antenna) consists of a long conductor of one quarter the length of

the transmitted wavelength. The lower end of the antenna is connected to a conducting ground plane (often simply the Earth) which reflects the transmitted signal, creating an effective antenna length of a half wavelength. (a) What must be the height of the antenna (in m) for a radio station broadcasting at 514 kHz

Answer:

145.91 m

Explanation:

Data provided in the the question:

Wavelength of radio wave, $\lambda = \frac c f$

Here, c is speed of radio wave in air = 3 × 10⁸ m/s

f is the frequency = 514 kHz = 514 × 10³ Hz

Thus,

Wavelength = (3 × 10⁸) ÷ (514 × 10³) m

or

Wavelength = 583.65 m

Thus,

The height of the antenna will be

= $\frac \lambda 4$ = 583.65 ÷ 4 m

= 145.91 m

If silicic rock is found in a core sample. What evidence does this provide about the rocks location ?

frez [133]

Answer:

The rocks location is underneath an ocean or mountain

Explanation:

Silicic rock are igneous rock rich in silica. The amount of silica that constitutes a silicic rock is usually defined as at least sixty three percent. Granite and rhyolite are the most common silicic rocks found. These are found in the magma of the Earth.

Silicic is the group of silicate magmas which crystallise a relatively small proportion of ferromagnesian silicates. The main constituents of a silicic rock will be minerals rich in silica-minerals mainly.

Tudy the images about geologic time.

Inessa [10]

Answer:

The first flowering plants appeared in the Mesozoic era, not the Paleozoic era.

Explanation:

The Mesozoic era was an era where numerous organisms started to develop in very unique and more advanced ways, both the animals and the plants. In the last period of the Mesozoic, the Cretaceous, the first flowering plants started to appear on the scene. This was revolutionary trait of the plants, and soon these plants started to occupy more and more space and became one of the dominant organisms on the planet. Other important evolution that took place in this period are the appearance of the dinosaurs and the mammals, both becoming the dominant animals on the planet, first the dinosaurs, after that the mammals.

What is the strength of an electric field that will balance the weight of a 3.3 g plastic sphere that has been charged to -7.6 n

sp2606 [1]

As the plastic sphere is charged, therefore it experience an electric force when placed in an electric fields and also experiences gravitational force acts downward so the electric force must act upward.

Let $F_{E}$ is electric force and $F_{G}$ is gravitational force.

If these forces are balanced, therefore $F_{E} = F_{G}$

or $\left | q \right |E=mg\\\\\ E=\frac{mg}{\left | q \right |}$

Given, $q=-7.6 nC=-7.6\times10^{-9} C$ and $m=3.3 g= 3.3\times10^{-3} kg$ .

Substituting these values in above equation we get,

$E=\frac{3.3\times10^{-3} kg\times9.8 m/s^{2} }{7.6\times10^{-9} C}\\\\E=4.2\times10^{6} N/C$

Thus, the magnitude of electric field is $4.2\times10^{6} N/C$ .

As the charge is negative, the electric field at the location of the plastic sphere must be pointing downward.

A high-jumper, having just cleared the bar, lands on an air mattress and comes to rest. Had she landed directly on the hard grou

Hoochie [10]

Answer:

e. the air mattress exerts the same impulse, but a smaller net avg force, on the high-jumper than hard-ground.

Explanation:

This is according to the Newton's second law and energy conservation that the force exerted by the hard-ground is more than the force exerted by the mattress.

The hard ground stops the moving mass by its sudden reaction in the opposite direction of impact force whereas the mattress takes a longer time to stop the motion of same mass in a longer time leading to lesser average reaction force.

<u>Mathematical expression for the Newton's second law of motion is given as:</u>

$F=\frac{dp}{dt}$ ............................................(1)

where:

dp = change in momentum

dt = time taken to change the momentum

We know, momentum:

$p=m.v$

Now, equation (1) becomes:

$F=\frac{d(m.v)}{dt}$

<em>∵mass is constant at speeds v << c (speed of light)</em>

$\therefore F=m.\frac{dv}{dt}$

and, $\frac{dv}{dt} =a$

where: a = acceleration

$\Rightarrow F=m.a$

also

$F\propto \frac{1}{dt}$

so, more the time, lesser the force.

<em>& </em><u><em>Impulse:</em></u>

$I=F.dt$

$I=m.a.dt$

$I=m.\frac{dv}{dt}.dt$

$I=m.dv=dp$

∵Initial velocity and final velocity(=0), of a certain mass is same irrespective of the stopping method.

So, the impulse in both the cases will be same.
