<span>Ocean water conducts electrical current because it contains electrolytes. Electrolytes are good conductors of electricity, and are naturally present in appropriate amounts in bodies of water. However, pure water (without electrolytes or metals) is not a conductor of electricity. </span>

A active-satellite, one that sends out electromagnetic waves, can be the energy down toward the ocean surface and determine how
Anna71 [15]

Answer: This is called backscatter which refers to the ability of big waves to reflect the energy in order to give back the signal .

Explanation:

What is meant by backscatter?

Backscatter is the process where by the waves or signal is reflected back to the original direction and get scattered in all directions.

Backscatter allows us to receive signal and be able to view all the channels that are connected through the satellite.

How is light described?
Lelu [443]

Light as a wave: Light can be described (modeled) as an electromagnetic wave. ... This changing magnetic field then creates a changing electric field and BOOM - you have light. Unlike many other waves (sound, water waves, waves in a football stadium), light does not need a medium to “wave” in.

Which property best makes radio waves safe for diagnosing illnesses through magnetic resonance imaging?
aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

It is used in MRI because it does not damage cells

Radio waves are used for space research because they have very long wavelengths

Explanation:

Many parts of the electromagnetic spectrum are applied in clinical diagnosis and treatment of illnesses. However, these highly ionizing radiation damage cells and its dosage must be carefully managed to avoid creating radiation related health problems for the patients.

Radio waves can be used in MRI without issues because the energy of the radiation is not sufficient to cause damage to cells but is sufficient to provide images for the sake of medical diagnosis.

Secondly, radio waves have long wavelength. This property is suitable for long range

communication. Hence it can be used in space research

What minimum speed must the rocket have just before impact in order to save the explorer's life?
34kurt
<span>Answer: Assuming that I understand the geometry correctly, the combine package-rocket will move off the cliff with only a horizontal velocity component. The package will then fall under gravity traversing the height of the cliff (h) in a time T given by h = 0.5*g*T^2 However, the speed of the package-rocket system must be sufficient to cross the river in that time v2 = L/T Conservation of momentum says that m1*v1 = (m1 + m2)*v2 where m1 is the mass of the rocket, v1 is the speed of the rocket, m2 is the mass of the package, and v2 is the speed of the package-rocket system. Expressing v2 in terms of v1 v2 = m1*v1/(m1 + m2) and then expressing the time in terms of v1 T = (m1 + m2)*L/(m1*v1) substituting T in the first expression h = 0.5*g*(m1 + m2)^2*L^2/(m1*v1)^2 solving for v1, the speed before impact is given by v1 = sqrt(0.5*g/h)*(m1 + m2)*L/m1</span>
