Despite the advent of digital television, some viewers still use "rabbit ears" atop their sets instead of purchasing cable telev

ision service or satellite dishes.
Certain orientations of the receiving antenna on a television set give better reception than others. Furthermore, the best orientation varies from station to station.
Explain.

Answer:

This is due to difference in bandwidths of different stations, and the inability of the bunny ear to accommodate distant bandwidths most times at the same time.

Explanation:

Bunny ears are a simple half-wave dipole antenna used to receive VHF television bands. It is constructed of two telescoping rods attached to a base, these rods extend out to about 1 meter length, and are collapsible when not in use. For the best reception the rods should be adjusted to be a little less than 1/4 wavelength at the frequency of the television channel being received and bandwidth of different station differs one frone another, so adjustment has to be made sometimes in order to get reception from other stations. Thankfully, the dipole has a wide bandwidth, so most times, adequate reception is achieved without having to adjust the length of the bunny ear.

The half wave dipole of a bunny ear has a low gain of about 2.14 dBi; which means it is not as directional and sensitive to distant stations as a large rooftop antenna, but its wide angle reception pattern may allow it to receive several stations located in different directions without requiring readjustment when the channel is changed. Sometime an adjustment of the rods is necessary.

One speaker generates sound waves with amplitude A.
raketka [301]

Answer:

iv) It is 9x bigger than before

Explanation:

As the amplitudes of the new speakers add directly with the original one, taking into account the phase that they have, the composed amplitude of the sound wave is as follows:

At = A + 4A -2A = 3 A

The intensity of the wave, assuming it propagates evenly in all directions, is constant at a given distance from the source, and can be expressed as follows:

I = P/A

where P= Power of the wave source, A= Area (for a point source, is equal to the surface area of a sphere of radius r, where is r is the distance to the source along a straight line)

For a sinusoidal wave, the power is proportional to the square of the amplitude, so the intensity is proportional to the square of the amplitude also.

If the amplitude changes increasing three times, the change in intensity will be proportional to the square of the change in amplitude, i.e., it will be 9 times bigger.

So, the statement iv) is the right one.

julsineya [31]

Answer:

20 meters per second

Explanation:

If an object accelerates for 2 seconds, and accelerates by 10 meters per second, then that objects speed will be 20 meters per second, assuming hat there are no other factors involved.
