-- A transmitter has 50 mW output power.  

50 mW is equivalent to +17 dBm.

(+17 is a magic number.  It tells us that the transmitter could very well be based on a single modulated Gunn diode oscillator, which, after resonating and filtering to remove the unwanted puree, hash, and garbage, typically delivers right around +17 dBm at the output.  

-- The power passes through a piece of lossy cable, where it loses 3 dB.

+17 dBm went into the cable.   +14 dBm came out of the other end.  

(The lost 3 dBm warmed the cable.)  

-- The power was then coupled (losslessly) to an antenna with +16 dB "gain".

+14 dBm went into the antenna.  It was shaped and focused so that coming out of the antenna in a certain direction, it sounded as loud as a source that's radiating (+14 + 16) = <em>+30 dBm = 1 watt</em> .

This is NOT 1 watt of real power output.  The antenna has no batteries, it isn't plugged into a wall outlet, and it has no actual 'gain'.  

That 1 watt is "eirp" . . . <em>"</em><em>E</em><em>ffective </em><em>I</em><em>sotropic </em><em>R</em><em>adiated </em><em>P</em><em>ower"</em>.  The antenna focuses most of its power in one certain narrow direction, and then, <u><em>in that direction</em></u>, it sounds as loud as an antenna would that took 1 watt and spread it equally in <em>all</em> directions.

What is the approximate value of the gravitational force between a 73 kg astronaut and a 7.1×104 kg spacecraft when they're 89 m
Luden [163]

Answer:

F = 4.3671 * 10^{-8}\ Newtons

Explanation:

The gravitational force between two corpses is given by the following equation:

F = GMm/d^2

Where F is the force, G is the gravitational constant

(G = 6.67408*10^{-11}\ m^3kg^{-1}s^{-2}), M and m are the masses of the corpses and d is the distance between them.

So we have that:

F = 6.67408*10^{-11} * 7.1*10^4 * 73/89^2

F = 4.3671 * 10^{-8}\ Newtons

What net force would be necessary to cause a block of wood with a mass of 2.5 kg to accelerate at a rate of 3.0 m/s2
charle [14.2K]

Answer:

<h2>7.5 N</h2>

Explanation:

The force acting on an object given it's mass and acceleration can be found by using the formula

force = mass × acceleration

From the question

mass = 2.5 kg

acceleration = 3.0 m/s²

We have

force = 2.5 × 3.0 = 7.5

We have the final answer as

<h3>7.5 N</h3>

Hope this helps you

an object is dropped from a height of 25 meters. at what velocity will it hit the ground? a 7.0 m/s b 11 m/s c 22 m/s d 49 m/s e
kipiarov [429]
Assuming that the object starts at rest, we know the following values:

distance = 25m
acceleration = 9.81m/s^2 [down]
initial velocity = 0m/s

we want to find final velocity and we don't know the time it took, so we will use the kinematics equation without time in it:

Velocity final^2 = velocity initial^2 + 2 × acceleration × distance

Filling everythint in, we have:

Vf^2 = 0^2 + (2)(-9.81)(-25)
The reason why the values are negative is because they are going in the negative direction

Vf^2 = 490.5

Take the square root of that

Final velocity = 22.15m/s which is answer c
