Answer:
120 m
Explanation:
Given:
wavelength 'λ' = 2.4m
pulse width 'τ'= 100T ('T' is the time of one oscillation)
The below inequality express the range of distances to an object that radar can detect
τc/2 < x < Tc/2 ---->eq(1)
Where, τc/2 is the shortest distance
First we'll calculate Frequency 'f' in order to determine time of one oscillation 'T'
f = c/λ (c= speed of light i.e 3 x m/s)
f= 3 x / 2.4
f=1.25 x hz.
As, T= 1/f
time of one oscillation T= 1/1.25 x
T= 8 x s
It was given that pulse width 'τ'= 100T
τ= 100 x 8 x => 800 x
s
From eq(1), we can conclude that the shortest distance to an object that this radar can detect:
= τc/2 => (800 x
x 3 x
)/2
=120m
The x -component of the object's acceleration is 2 m/s².
<h3>What's the resultant force along x- direction?</h3>- Forces along x axis direction are as follows
- 4N along +x axis, so it's taken as +4 N
- 2N along -x axis , so it's taken as -2N.
- Resultant force along x direction = 4N - 2N = 2 N which is along + ve x direction.
- As per Newton's second law, Force = mass × acceleration of the object
- Force along x axis= mass × acceleration along x axis= 2N
- Acceleration = 2/ mass = 2/1 = 2 m/s²
Thus, we can conclude that the acceleration along x axis is 2 m/s².
