What is the practical applications of radio waves

Radio waves have many uses—the category is divided into many subcategories, including microwaves and electromagnetic waves used for AM and FM radio, cellular telephones and TV.

The lowest commonly encountered radio frequencies are produced by high-voltage AC power transmission lines at frequencies of 50 or 60 Hz. These extremely long wavelength electromagnetic waves (about 6000 km) are one means of energy loss in long-distance power transmission.

Extremely low frequency (ELF) radio waves of about 1 kHz are used to communicate with submerged submarines. The ability of radio waves to penetrate salt water is related to their wavelength (much like ultrasound penetrating tissue)—the longer the wavelength, the farther they penetrate. Since salt water is a good conductor, radio waves are strongly absorbed by it; very long wavelengths are needed to reach a submarine under the surface.



HOPE THIS REALLY HELPS YOU.

A 7 ft tall person is walking away from a 20 ft tall lamppost at a rate of 5 ft/sec. Assume the scenario can be modeled with rig
aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

The rate of change of the shadow length of a person is 2.692 ft/s

Solution:

As per the question:

Height of a person, H = 20 ft

Height of a person, h = 7 ft

Rate = 5 ft/s

Now,

From Fig.1:

b = person's distance from the lamp post

a = shadow length

Also, from the similarity of the triangles, we can write:

\frac{a + b}{20} = \frac{a}{7}

a = \frac{7}{13}b

Differentiating the above eqn w.r.t t:

\frac{da}{dt} = \frac{7}{13}.\frac{db}{dt}

Now, we know that:

Rate = \frac{db}{dt} = 5\ ft/s

Thus

\frac{da}{dt} = \frac{7}{13}.\times 5 = 2.692\ ft/s

A 2-kW electric heater takes 15 min to boil a quantity of water. If this is done once a day and power costs 10 cents per kWh, wh
frozen [14]

Answer:

<h2> $1.50</h2>

Explanation:

Given data

power P= 2 kW

time t= 15 min to hours = 15/60= 1/4 h

cost of power consumption per kWh= 10 cent = $0.1

We are expected to compute the cost of operating the heater for 30 days

but let us computer the energy consumption for one day

Energy of heater  for one day= 2* 1/4 = 0.5 kWh

the cost of operating the heater for 30 days= 0.5*0.1*30= $1.50

<u><em>Hence it will cost  $1.50 for 30 days operation</em></u>

An object whose weight is 100lbf( pound force) experiences a decrease i kinetic energy of 500ft-lb, and an increase in potential
alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

a) 35.75 ft/s

b) 45 ft

Explanation:

<u>Given  </u>

Weight W = 100 lbf

mass(m) = 100*32.174/32.2=99.92 lb

decrease in kinetic energy ΔKE = -500 ft.lbf

increase in kinetic energy ΔPE= 1500 ft.lbf

initial velocity V_1  = 40 ft/s

initial height h_1 = 30 ft/s

The gravitational acceleration g = 32.2 ft/s2 Required  

(a) Final velocity V_2 (a) Final elevation h_2  

<u>Solution </u>

Change in kinetic energy is defined by

ΔKE = .5*m *( V_2 ^2-V_1^2)

Change in potential energy is defined by

ΔKE = W *( h_2 -h_1 )

Then,

-500=.5*99.92*1/32.174*(V_2 ^2-40^2)

V_2=35.75 ft/s

1500 = 100 x (h_2  — 30)  

h_2= 45 ft

Refer to the image. Calculate the magnitude of change in velocity of the cue ball.
valkas [14]

Answer:

If you add the 2 velocity vectors you get the velocity of the third vector which is the (change in) velocity of the cue ball after striking the cushion

V * 2 * cos 45 = 4 * cos 45 = 2.83 m/s
