What properties of radio waves makes them suitable for sending signals in mountainous regions?

Physics
1 answer:
marusya05 [52]4 years ago
3 0

one of the property of radio waves is that they have long wavelength. due to their long wavelength , they undergo diffraction around the mountains and thus the waves spread around the mountain. this makes them eligible to be used for  long distance communication. they can coded and decoded also . that is why they are used in television and radio system

A boy standing throws a penny horizontally at 7.25 m/s out of the window of his apparent buliding. If the window is 10.0 m above
Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

Explanation:

This is a 2D problem (parabolic) so we have to think that way. We have to split up the problem into its 2 dimensions to solve it. Think "y-stuff" and "x-stuff".

In the y-stuff category:

v₀ = 0 (initial upwards velocity is 0 since we are told the penny is thrown horizontally)

Δx = -10.0 m (this displacement is negative because the penny lands 10.0 m below the point from which it was thrown)

a = -9.8 m/s/s

t = ? (we need to find the time in this dimension so we can use it in the x dimension to find the displacement, our unknown)

In the "x-stuff" category:

v₀ = 7.25 m/s (this is given)

Δx = ???

a = 0 (acceleration in this dimension is ALWAYS 0)

t = (we will solve for this in the y-dimension and plug it in here).

In the y dimension:

Δx = v₀t + \frac{1}{2}at^2 and plugging in from the y-dimension info:

-10.0=0t+\frac{1}{2}(-9.8)t^2 which simplifies to

-10.0=-4.9t^2 so

t=\sqrt{\frac{-10.0}{-4.9} } which, to 2 significant digits is

t = 1.4 seconds

Now we will do the same in the x-dimension, using t = 1.4:

Δx = v₀t + \frac{1}{2}at^2 and filling in the x-stuff:

Δx = 7.25(1.4)+\frac{1}{2}(0)(1.4)^2 Notice that the stuff after the + sign goes to 0 cuz of the multiplication of 0, so what we are left with is another form of the d = rt equation:

Δx = 7.25(1.4) + 0 so

Δx = 1.0 × 10¹ m (That's rounded correctly to 2 sig dig's: 10 m from the base of the building).

Waves in a fish bowl jostled by the Thingamajigger move to the sides at an average velocity of 0.50 m/s. If they occur once ever
Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

0.125 m

Explanation:

In this problem, we have:

v = 0.50 m/s is the average velocity of the wave

T = 0.25 s is the period of the wave

We can find the frequency of the wave, which is equal to the reciprocal of the period:

f=\frac{1}{T}=\frac{1}{0.25 s}=4 Hz

The problem is asking us to find the distance between two crests of the wave: this is equivalent to the wavelength. The wavelength is related to the average velocity and the frequency by the formula:

\lambda=\frac{v}{f}

Substituting the numerical values, we find

\lambda=\frac{0.5 m/s}{4 Hz}=0.125 m

An object of 4 kg has a speed of 6 m/s and moves a distance of 8 m. What is its kinetic energy in joules.
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:

The answer to your question is Ke = 72 J

Explanation:

Kinetic energy depends on the speed of and object and its mass.

Data

mass = m = 4 kg

speed = v = 6 m/s

distance = d =  8 m

Kinetic energy = ke = ?

Formula

Ke = (1/2) mv²

Substitution

Ke = (1/2) (4)(6)²

Simplification

Ke = (1/2)(4)(36)

Ke = (1/2)(144)

Ke = 72 Joules

Result

Ke = 72 J

50 POINTS URGENT HELP NEEDED SPACE
Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

Using two to three sentences, summarize what you investigated and observed in this lab. I investigated that Most of my planets and moons had the element carbon in them. I observed that Different elements absorb different wavelengths of light.

Astronomers use a wide variety of technology to explore space and the electromagnetic spectrum; why do you believe it is essential to use many types of equipment when studying space?

It is essential to use a number of telescopes sensitive to different parts of the electromagnetic spectrum to study objects in space. Even though all light is fundamentally the same thing, the way that astronomers observe light depends on the portion of the spectrum they wish to study. Tools are useful, such as detectors that help see the different wavelengths of light. Not all light can get through the Earth's atmosphere, so for some wavelengths we have to use telescopes aboard satellites.

If carbon was the most common element found in the moons and planets, what element is missing that would make them similar to Earth?  Explain why. (Hint: Think about the carbon cycle.)

The missing element that would make moons and other planets similar to earth is oxygen. The two make carbon dioxide.

We know that the electromagnetic spectrum uses wavelengths and frequencies to determine a lot about outer space. How does it help us find out the make-up of stars?  

electromagnetic radiation Explanation, astronomers observe the wavelengths by putting telescopes on mountain tops and take results of what they are seeing

Why might it be useful to determine the elements that a planet or moon is made up of?

It might be useful so we can make new discoveries of life or even plants on other planets and moons. And discover maybe even more moons one other planets.

Hope this helps!!!!

jane pushed a box with 15 N force (an action) what force does the box have on Jane? which law is this?
lord [1]

Answer:

This is Newton’s third law (forces due to friction). There would be 15N being pushed back at Jane.

Explanation:

Newton’s third law states that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. So if Jane pushed with a force of 15N, 15N would be pushed back at her. Hope this helps! :)
