Why is it important that a finger be wet<br> before it is touched to a hot clothes iron?
AleksandrR [38]

Why is it important that your finger be wet if you intend to touch it briefly to a hot clothes iron to test its temperature. If your finger is wet, some of the heat transmitted to your finger will be given to the water which has a high specific heat capacity and also a larger latent heat of vaporization.

A radar for tracking aircraft broadcasts a 12 GHz microwave beam from a 2.0-m-diameter circular radar antenna. From a wave persp
NISA [10]

A) 750 m

First of all, let's find the wavelength of the microwave. We have

f=12GHz=12\cdot 10^9 Hz is the frequency

c=3.0\cdot 10^8 m/s is the speed of light

So the wavelength of the beam is

\lambda=\frac{c}{f}=\frac{3\cdot 10^8 m/s}{12\cdot 10^9 Hz}=0.025 m

Now we can use the formula of the single-slit diffraction to find the radius of aperture of the beam:

y=\frac{m\lambda D}{a}

where

m = 1 since we are interested only in the central fringe

D = 30 km = 30,000 m

a = 2.0 m is the aperture of the antenna (which corresponds to the width of the slit)

Substituting, we find

y=\frac{(1)(0.025 m)(30000 m)}{2.0 m}=375 m

and so, the diameter is

d=2y = 750 m

B) 0.23 W/m^2

First we calculate the area of the surface of the microwave at a distance of 30 km. Since the diameter of the circle is 750 m, the radius is

r=\frac{750 m}{2}=375 m

So the area is

A=\pi r^2 = \pi (375 m)^2=4.42\cdot 10^5 m^2

And since the power is

P=100 kW = 1\cdot 10^5 W

The average intensity is

I=\frac{P}{A}=\frac{1\cdot 10^5 W}{4.42\cdot 10^5 m^2}=0.23 W/m^2

kogti [31]

Answer:

Pilots depend on the precision of INSTRUMENT LANDING SYSTEMS to guide them when they have limited visibility.

Explanation:

A pilot is a professionally trained individual that has the ability to control an aircraft following directions from a flight control.

Instrument landing system is a guidance system that makes available an instrument based procedures for guiding the pilot of an aircraft to approach and land safely. This system guides the pilot during unfavorable conditions such as low visibility through the use of radio signals.

There are two types of guidance provided by this system:

-> Lateral guidance subsystem and

-> Vertical guidance subsystem.

Lateral guidance subsystem prevents the aircraft approaching a runway to shift laterally from the path recommended.

Vertical guidance subsystem prevents the aircraft approaching a runway to shift laterally from the recommended path.
