Answer:
145 m
Explanation:
Given:
Wavelength (λ) = 2.9 m
we know,
c = f × λ
where,
c = speed of light ; 3.0 x 10⁸ m/s
f = frequency
thus,
substituting the values in the equation we get,
f = 1.03 x 10⁸Hz
Now,
The time period (T) =
or
T = = 9.6 x 10⁻⁹ seconds
thus,
the time interval of one pulse = 100T = 9.6 x 10⁻⁷ s
Time between pulses = (100T×10) = 9.6 x 10⁻⁶ s
Now,
For radar to detect the object the pulse must hit the object and come back to the detector.
Hence, the shortest distance will be half the distance travelled by the pulse back and forth.
Distance = speed × time = 3 x 10^8 m/s × 9.6 x 10⁻⁷ s) = 290 m {Back and forth}
Thus, the minimum distance to target = = 145 m
Answer:
The final acceleration becomes (1/3) of the initial acceleration.
Explanation:
The second law of motion gives the relationship between the net force, mass and the acceleration of an object. It is given by :
m = mass
a = acceleration
According to given condition, if the mass of a sliding block is tripled while a constant net force is applied. We need to find how much does the acceleration decrease.
Let a' is the final acceleration,
m' = 3m
So, the final acceleration becomes (1/3) of the initial acceleration. Hence, this is the required solution.
