Explanation:

What is an antenna

According to NASA

An antenna is a metallic structure that captures and/or transmits radio electromagnetic waves. Antennas come in all shapes and sizes from little ones that can be found on the roof to watch TV to really big ones that capture signals from satellites millions of miles away.

How does an antenna work?

Antennas are much more than simple devices connected to every radio. They're the transducers that convert the voltage from a transmitter into a radio signal. And they pick radio signals out of the air and convert them into a voltage for recovery in a receiver

You walk 100m due north. You then turn and walk 55m due east. You then make another turn and walk 12m due south. What is the res

lord [1]

Answer:

Explanation:

Important here is to know that due north is a 90 degree angle, due east is a 0 degree angle, and due south is a 270 degree angle. Then we find the x and y components of each part of this journey using the sin and cos of the angles multiplied by each magnitude:

$A_x=100cos90\\A_x=0\\B_x=55cos0\\B_x=55\\C_x=12cos270\\C_x=55$

Add them all together to get the x component of the resultant vector, V:

$V_x=55$

Do the same to find the y components of the part of this journey:

$A_y=100sin90\\A_y=100\\B_y=55sin0\\B_y=0\\C_y=12sin270\\C_y=-12$

Add them together to get the y component of the resultant vector, V:

$V_y=88$

One thing of import to note is that both of these components are positive, so the resultant angle lies in QI.

We find the final magnitude:

$V_{mag}=\sqrt{55^2+88^2}$ and, rounding to 2 sig dig's as needed:

$V_{mag}=$ 1.0 × 10² m; now for the direction:

$\theta=tan^{-1}(\frac{88}{55})=$ 58°

Jj thomas' model contained electrons.

The current model contains a nucleus with electrons orbiting around it. :)

One end of a thin rod is attached to a pivot, about which it can rotate without friction. Air resistance is absent. The rod has

Scrat [10]

Answer:

5.24 m/s

Explanation:

So for the rod to be able to rise upward to the straight up position, the kinetic energy caused by linear speed v0 must be just enough to convert into the potential energy.

Since the rod is uniform in mass, we can treat the body as 1 point, at its center of mass, or geometric center, aka 0.35 / 2 = 0.175 m from the pivot.

For the rod to swing from bottom to top, the center must have moved a distance of h = 0.175 * 2 = 0.35 m, vertically speaking.

Since we neglect friction and air resistance, according to the law of energy conservation then:

$E_k = E_p$

$mv^2/2 = mgh$

Where v is the speed at the center of mass, g = 9.81 m/s2 is the gravitational acceleration, and m is the mass. We can divide both sides by m

$v^2 = 2gh = 2*9.81*0.35 = 6.867$

$v = \sqrt{6.867} = 2.62 m/s$

As this is only the speed at the center of mass, the speed at the bottom end would be different, to calculate this, we need to find the common angular speed:

$\omega = v / r = 2.62 / 0.175 = 14.97 rad/s$

Where r is the rotation radius, or the distance from pivot point to the center of mass

$v_0 = \omega R = 14.97*0.35 = 5.24 m/s$

Where R is the distance from the pivot to the bottom end of the rod

If a current of 1 ampere enters a parallel circuit at Point A. This 1 ampere of current will divide between Resistors R1 and R2 and then recombine at Point B

<h3>Parallel circuit</h3>

A parallel circuit is a circuit with separate branches with a common endpoint. In a parallel circuit, the voltage across each branch is the same but the currents vary. The total current is the sum of the currents flowing through each component.

If a current of 1 ampere enters a parallel circuit at Point A. This 1 ampere of current will divide between Resistors R1 and R2 and then recombine at Point B.

A 1500 W electric heater is plugged into the outlet of a 120 V circuit that has a 20 A circuit breaker. You plug an electric hai

Mila [183]

Answer:

Explanation:

Current drawn by electric heater = power/volt =1500/120 = 12.5 A.

current drawn by hair drier at 600 watt = 600/120 =5 A

current drawn by hair drier at 900 watt = 900/120 = 7.5 A.

Total current drawn by heater and hair drier used at 900 watt

= 12.5 + 7.5 = 20 A

Breaking current =20 A

So fuse will trip at this point .
