A Global Positioning System (GPS) functions by determining the travel times for EM waves from various satellites to a land-based

GPS receiver. If the receiver is to detect a change in travel distance of the order of 3 m, what is the associated travel time in (in ns) that must be measured

Answer:

10ns

Explanation:

Suppose the EM wave travels at light speed c = 3\times10^8 m/s. A change in travel distance of the order of 3 m would result of a change in travel time of

\Delta t = \frac{\Delta s}{c} = \frac{3}{3\times10^8} = 10^{-8} s = 10 ns

ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

c. 65

Explanation:

The output is 65.

An array of length 10 is created first. Then, the first for-loop fill the array with different values; The array element now become: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11. The array element are generated using the equation a[i] = i + 2; so when i is 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9. i must be less than the array length (10).

a[0] = 0 + 2 = 2

a[1] = 1 + 2 = 3

a[2] = 2 + 2 = 4

a[3] = 3 + 2 = 5

a[4] = 4 + 2 = 6

a[5] = 5 + 2 = 7

a[6] = 6 + 2 = 8

a[7] = 7 + 2 = 9

a[8] = 8 + 2 = 10

a[9] = 9 + 2 = 11

result variable is declared and initialized to 0.

The second for-loop goes through the array and add individual element to result.

The hot glowing surfaces of stars emit energy in the form of electromagnetic radiation. it is a good approximation to assume tha
Rufina [12.5K]
This assumption is correct. The emissivity of a substance is the ratio of the energy radiated from a body to the energy radiated from a black body (perfect emitter). Because these stars reflect negligible radiation compared to the amount they emit.
