When radio waves try to pass through a city, they encounter thin vertical slits: the separations between the buildings. This cau

ses the radio waves to diffract. In this problem, you will see how different wavelengths diffract as they pass through a city and relate this to reception for radios and cell phones. You will use the angle from the center of the central intensity maximum to the first intensity minimum as a measure of the width of the central maximum (where nearly all of the diffracted energy is found).

Answer:

\theta= sin^{-1}(\frac{\lambda}{a})

Explanation:

Assuming we have to find

Find the angle theta to the first minimum from the center of the central maximum (Expressing answer in terms of λ  and a.):

a= avg separation between the building.

λ = wavelength

for single slit diffraction we have

a sinθ =nλ

for the first minimum n=1

a sinθ =λ

therefore,

\theta= sin^{-1}(\frac{\lambda}{a})

How do human population growth trends differ between developed nations and developing nations?
ololo11 [35]

Answer:

Replacement-Level Fertility

Another important population characteristic that differ btw develop nation and developing nations is relates to births is replacement-level fertility. Replacement-level fertility is the fertility rate that will result in the replacement of the parents in the population. Again, in an ideal world, the human replacement-level fertility rate would be exactly two. This would mean that each couple would produce two offspring that would replace them in the population. If this occurred, then the human population would stay at a stable rate

Find the velocity, acceleration, and speed of a particle with the given position function. r(t = t2i 6tj 4 ln t k
artcher [175]
1st derivative gives velocity;
d r(t)/ dt = 2t i + 6 j + 4/t k

2nd derivative gives acceleration;
d^2 r(t)/ dt^2 = 2 i - 4/ t^2

Speed ;
Square root of (4 t^2 + 36 + 16/ t^2)

For a given time, like 2 seconds, t will be 2. And answer of speed will be scalar.

As air is heated, the particles speed up and spread out (becoming less dense). Hot air balloon pilots can change the balloon’s a
Jobisdone [24]

Answer:

Turn the heater on  

Explanation:

There are two main forces involved in a balloon flight

The downward force is the total weight of the balloon: the air it contains, the gas bag, the basket, the passengers, etc.

The upward force is the weight of the of the air the balloon displaces.

During level flight ,

buoyant force = weight of displaced air - total weight of balloon

If you increase the temperature of the air in the bag, the air molecules spread out and leave through the bottom of the bag.  

The balloon still has the same volume, so the weight of displaced outside air stays the same.

However, the balloon has lost some hot inside air, so its total weight decreases.  

The upward force is greater than the downward force, so the balloon rises.
