Through both refraction and diffraction, the atmosphere alters the apparent speed and, to a lesser extent, the direction of the

signal. This causes an apparent delay in the signal's transit from the satellite to the receiver.

Answer:

The Ionospheric Effect

Explanation:

One of the largest errors in GPS positioning is attributable to the atmosphere. The long, relatively unhindered travel of the GPS signal through the virtual vacuum of space changes as it passes through the earth’s atmosphere. Through both refraction and diffraction, the atmosphere alters the apparent speed and, to a lesser extent, the direction of the signal. This causes an apparent delay in the signal's transit from the satellite to the receiver.

If I were to transmit a radio wave in our three dimensional world could a fourth dimensional “being” be able to receive it?
Morgarella [4.7K]
Depends. Are you talking about a mathematical 4th dimension (in which there is infinite dimensions) or some sort of etheral dimension (in which there is no scientific evidence for)

If you mean the first then yes. But it depends how these beings exist. From our understanding we only can theorize shapes in 4-d and if we assume that there is only one universe these "beings" arleady exist and thus any message in 3-d would be sent to them like a shadow ("flat").
If they exist in a alternate "plane" then you would need some method to transverse this plan and if u did, then we would easily be able to communicate, but we would at first sound like a wild animal. They either would ignore us, not understand or perceive us, or they would attempt to send back a signal (essential they are ET's)

IF you mean the second then thats some mystic stuff and its pretty creepy (although a fun read for me :P)

A bowling ball with a negative initial velocity slows down as it rolls down the lane toward the pins. Is the bowling ballâs acce
stiv31 [10]

Answer:

positive

Explanation:

The ball is rolling down with a negative velocity, but the velocity is slowing down. therefore the velocity must increase in order for the ball to slow down.

For example let the ball's initial velocity be -15 m/s. and it  is slowing down to let's say -13 m/s. Well this means that it's velocity has increase by 2 m/s. So, its acceleration is positive.

You are moving a desk that has a mass of 36 kg; its acceleration is 0.5 m / s 2. What is the force being applied
valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

18 N

Explanation:

Force can be found using the following formula.

f= m*a

where m is the mass and a is the acceleration.

We know the desk has a mass of 36 kilograms. We also know that its acceleration is 0.5 m/s^2.

m= 36 kg

a= 0.5 m/s^2

Substitute these values into the formula.

f= 36 kg * 0.5 m/s^2

Multiply 36 and 0.5

f=18 kg m/s^2

1 kg m/s^2 is equivalent to 1 Newton, or N.

f= 18 Newtons

The force being applied is 18 kg m/s^2, Newtons, or N

Consider heat transfer between two identical hot solid bodies and the air surrounding them. The first solid is being cooled by a
Nitella [24]

Answer:

The solution to the question above is explained below:

Explanation:

For which solid is the lumped system analysis more likely to be applicable?

<u>Answer</u>

The lumped system analysis is more likely to be applicable for the body cooled naturally.

<em>Question :Why?</em>

<u>Answer</u>

Biot number is proportional to the convection heat transfer coefficient, and it is proportional to the air velocity. When Biot no is less than 0.1 in  the case of natural convection, then lumped analysis can be applied.

<u>Further explanations:</u>

Heat is a form of energy.

Heat transfer describes the flow of heat across the boundary of a system due to temperature differences and the subsequent temperature distribution and changes. There are three different ways the heat can transfer: conduction, convection, or radiation.

Heat transfer  analysis which utilizes this idealization is known as the lumped system analysis.

The Biot number is a criterion dimensionless quantity used in heat transfer calculations which gives a direct indication of the relative importance of conduction and convection in determining the temperature history of a body being heated or cooled by convection at its surface. In heat transfer analysis, some bodies are observed to behave like a "lump" whose entire  body temperature remains essentially uniform at all times during a heat transfer process.

Conduction is the transfer of energy in the form of heat or electricity from one atom to another within an object and conduction of heat occurs when molecules increase in temperature.

Convection is a transfer of heat by the movement of a fluid. Convection occurs within liquids and gases between areas of different temperature.
