A circular radar antenna on a Coast Guard ship has a diameter of 2.10 m and radiates at a frequency of 11.0 GHz. Two small boats

are located 8.00 km away from the ship. How close together could the boats be and still be detected as two objects

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

A spinning coil of wire is what moves the cone in a speaker, producing the sound. True/False
Georgia [21]

False, the spinning coil of wire that moves the cone in a speaker does not produces sound.

<u>Explanation</u>:

The wire coil is an electromagnet that is fixed to speaker cone. A normal magnet attached to the back of the speaker cone.When audio is sent in the form of short bursts of electric current to the speaker cone through the wire.

A magnetic field is induced when electric current allowed to pass through the coil. This magnetic field is repelled by the other magnet. This repulsion cause the cone to move forward. In the absence of  electric current in the coil, the cone moves backward.

Thus sound waves are produced due to the resulting rarefaction and compression.  So it is not the spinning coil of wire but he permanent magnet that produces the sound.

Answer:

A. Splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen.

Explanation:

A chemical change produces a new substance. ... A physical change does not produce a new substance. Changes in state or phase (melting, freezing, vaporization, condensation, sublimation) are physical changes.
