A radar antenna is tracking a satellite orbiting the earth. At a certain time, the radar screen shows the satellite to be 118 km

away. The radar antenna is pointing upward at an angle of 58.9° above the ground. Find (a) the x and (b) the y components (in km) of the position vector of the satellite, relative to the antenna.

Answer:

x component 60.85 m

y component 101.031 m

Explanation:

We have given distance r = 118 km

Angle which makes from ground = 58.9°

(a) X component of distance  is given by r_x=rcos\Theta =118\times cos58.9=118\times 0.5165=118=60.85m

(b) Y component of distance is given by r_Y=rcos\Theta =118\times sin58.9=118\times 0.8562=101.0316m

These are the x and y component of position vector

The equation of a transverse wave traveling along a string is 1 1 y (2.00 mm)sin[(20 m )x (600 s )t] − − = − Find the (a) amplit
Lelu [443]

Answer:

a)Amplitude ,A = 2 mm

b)f=95.49 Hz

c)V=  30 m/s  ( + x direction )

d)  λ = 0.31 m

e)Umax= 1.2 m/s

Explanation:

Given that

y=2\ mm\ sin[(20m^{-1})x-(600s^{-1})t]

As we know that standard form of wave equation given as

y=A sin(\phi -\omega t)

A= Amplitude

ω=Frequency (rad /s)

t=Time

Φ = Phase difference

y=2\ mm\ sin[(20m^{-1})x-(600s^{-1})t]

So from above equation we can say that

Amplitude ,A = 2 mm

Frequency ,ω= 600 rad/s                     (2πf=ω)

ω= 2πf

f= ω /2π

f= 300/π = 95.49 Hz

K= 20 rad/m

So velocity,V

V= ω /K

V= 600 /20 = 30 m/s  ( + x direction )

V = f λ

30 = 95.49 x  λ

 λ = 0.31 m

We know that speed is the rate of displacement

U=\dfrac{dy}{dt}

U=2\ mm\ sin[(20m^{-1})x-(600s^{-1})t]

U=1200\ cos[(20m^{-1})x-(600s^{-1})t]\ mm/s

The maximum velocity

Umax = 1200 mm/s

Umax= 1.2 m/s
