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

It has been suggested that rotating cylinders several miles in length and several miles in diameter be placed in space and used
stepladder [879]

Answer:

the required revolution per hour is 28.6849

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

we know that the expression for the linear acceleration in terms of angular velocity is;

a_{c} = rω²

ω² = a_{c} / r

ω = √( a_{c} / r )

where r is the radius of the cylinder

ω is the angular velocity

given that; the centripetal acceleration equal to the acceleration of gravity a a_{c}  = g = 9.8 m/s²

so, given that, diameter = 4.86 miles = 4.86 × 1609 = 7819.74 m

Radius r = Diameter / 2 = 7819.74 m / 2 = 3909.87 m

so we substitute

ω = √( 9.8 m/s² / 3909.87 m )

ω = √0.002506477 s²  

ω = 0.0500647 ≈ 0.05 rad/s  

we know that; 1 rad/s = 9.5493 revolution per minute

ω = 0.05 × 9.5493 RPM

ω = 0.478082 RPM  

1 rpm = 60 rph  

so  

ω = 0.478082 × 60

ω = 28.6849  revolutions per hour  

Therefore, the required revolution per hour is 28.6849

A ball is falling after rolling off a tall roof. The ball has
Rom4ik [11]
C.
Because it’s falling it has acceleration in the y direction. If you have acceleration, you usually also have velocity, and since kinetic energy is KE= Mv^2 you know you have it. It also has potential energy because it has some height to it, and PE= Mgh.
