Answer:

λ₁ = 2.50 10⁻² m,   λ₂ = 1.66 10⁻² m  

Explanation:

Microwave communication is very efficient because it does not have atmospheric interference, for which it is widely used and has been regulated to avoid interference, the ku band is in the range between 12 and 18 GHz.

Let's calculate the wavelength for the two extreme frequencies of this band

wavelength and frequency are related

         c = λ f

          λ = c / f

f₁ = 12 GHz = 12 10⁹ Hz

          λ₁ = 3 10⁸ /12 10⁹

           λ₁ = 2.50 10⁻² m

f₂ = 18 GHz = 18 10⁹ Hz

          λ₂ = 3 10⁸ /18 10⁹

          λ₂ = 1.66 10⁻² m

Unfortunately in your exercise the specific frequency is not fired, for significant figures they must be the same number as the figures of the frequency, in general the frequency has 3 or 4 significant figures

A car traveling at 30 m/s drives off a cliff that is 50 meters high? How far away does it land?
Semenov [28]

Answer:

The maximum range R_{max}= 132. 72 m

Explanation:

Given,

The initial velocity of the car, u = 30 m/s

The height of the cliff, h = 50 m

Let the car drives off the cliff with a horizontal velocity of 30 m/s.

The formula for a projectile that is projected from a height h from the ground is given by the relation

                                R_{max}= \frac{u}{g}\sqrt{u^{2} + 2gh }  m

Where,

                          g - acceleration due to gravity

Substituting the values in the above equation

                   R_{max}= \frac{30}{9.8}\sqrt{30^{2} + 2X9.8X50 }  

                                          = 132.72  m

Hence, the car lands at a distance, R_{max}= 132. 72 m

An elevator of massmis initially at rest onthe first floor of a building. It moves upward,and passes the second and third floors
Varvara68 [4.7K]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts of Work. Work is understood as the force applied to travel a determined distance, in this case the height. The force in turn can be expressed by Newton's second law as the ratio between mass and gravity, as well

W = mgh

Where,

m = mass

h = height

g = Gravitational constant

When it ascends to the second floor it has traveled the energy necessary to climb a height, under this logic, until the 4 floor has traveled 3 times the height h of each of the floors therefore

h = 3h

Replacing in our equation we have to

W = mgh\\W = mg(3h)\\W = 3mgh

The correct answer is 4.

The SAF operates the M113 Ultra APC.
HACTEHA [7]

The volume of the object must be no larger than 11.15 m^3.

Explanation:

In order for an object to be able to float in water, its density must be equal or smaller than the water density.

The density of water is:

\rho = 1000 kg/m^3

This means that the density of the object must be no larger than this value.

We also know that the density of an object is given by

\rho = \frac{m}{V}

where

m is the mass of the object

V is its volume

For the object in this problem, the mass is

m=1.115\cdot 10^4 kg

Therefore, we can re-arrange the equation to find its volume:

V=\frac{m}{\rho}=\frac{1.115\cdot 10^4}{1000}=11.15 m^3

So, the volume of the object must be no larger than 11.15 m^3.

Energy is to be stored in a flywheel in the shape of a uniform solid disk with a radius of R = 1.22 m and a mass of 67.0 kg . To
eduard

Answer: 71.7 KJ

Explanation:

The rotational kinetic energy of a rotating body can be written as follows:

Krot = ½ I ω2

Now, any point on the rim of the flywheel, is acted by a centripetal force, according to Newton’s 2nd Law, as follows:

Fc = m. ac

It can be showed that the centripetal acceleration, is related with the angular velocity and the radius, as follows:

ac =  ω2 r

We know that this acceleration has a limit value, so , we can take this limit to obtain a maximum value for the angular velocity also.

As the flywheel is a solid disk, the rotational inertia I is just ½ m r2.

Replacing in the expression for the Krot, we have:

Krot= ½ (1/2 mr2.ac/r) = ¼ mr ac = ¼ 67.0 Kg. 1.22 m . 3,510 m/s2 = 71. 7 KJ
