Given Information:  

Frequency = f = 11 Ghz = 11x10⁹  Hz

Distance between boats = L = 8 km = 8000 m

Diameter of radar antenna = D = 2.10 m

Required Information:  

Distance between boats = d = ?

Answer:  

Distance between boats = d = 126.65 m

Explanation:  

The minimum distance between the two boats that will result in the detection by the radar antenna is given by

d = Ltan(θmin)

Where θmin is given by

θmin = sin⁻¹(1.22*λ/D)

Where D is the diameter of the radar antenna and λ is the wavelength given by

λ = c/f

Where c is the speed of light

λ = 3x10⁸/11x10⁹

λ = 0.02727 m

θmin = sin⁻¹(1.22*(0.02727)/2.10)

θmin = 0.907°

Therefore, the minimum distance between the two boats so that the radar antenna may detect is

d = 8000*tan(0.907)

d = 126.65 m

statuscvo [17]

Answer:

Q = 200800 Joules.

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Mass = 4kg

Initial temperature = 30.0°C

Final temperature = 90.0°C

Specific heat capacity of glass = 837 J/kg°C

To find the quantity of heat absorbed;

Heat capacity is given by the formula;

Q = mcdt

Where;

Q represents the heat capacity or quantity of heat.

m represents the mass of an object.

c represents the specific heat capacity of water.

dt represents the change in temperature.

dt = T2 - T1

dt = 90 - 30

dt = 60°C

Substituting the values into the equation, we have;

Q = 4*837*60

Q = 200800 Joules.

Therefore, the amount of heat absorbed is 200800 Joules.

State the law of conservation of energy​
storchak [24]

Answer:

In physics and chemistry, the law of conservation of energy states that the total energy of an isolated system remains constant; it is said to be conserved over time. ... For instance, chemical energy is converted to kinetic energy when a stick of dynamite explodes.
