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.

An air balloon is moving upward at a constant speed of 3 m/s. Suddenly a passenger realizes that she left her camera on the grou

frosja888 [35]

Answer:t=0.3253 s

Explanation:

Given

speed of balloon is $u=3\ m/s$

speed of camera $u_1=20\ m/s$

Initial separation between camera and balloon is $d_o=5\ m$

Suppose after t sec of throw camera reach balloon then,

distance travel by balloon is

$s=ut$

$s=3\times t$

and distance travel by camera to reach balloon is

$s_1=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2$

$s_1=20\times t-\frac{1}{2}gt^2$

Now

$\Rightarrow s_1=5+s$

$\Rightarrow 20\times t-\frac{1}{2}gt^2 =5+3t$

$\Rightarrow 5t^2-17t+5=0$

$\Rightarrow t=\dfrac{17\pm \sqrt{17^2-4(5)(5)}}{2\times 5}$

$\Rightarrow t=\dfrac{17\pm 13.747}{10}$

$\Rightarrow t=0.3253\ s\ \text{and}\ t=3.07\ s$

There are two times when camera reaches the same level as balloon and the smaller time is associated with with the first one .

(b)When passenger catches the camera time is $t=0.3253\ s$

velocity is given by

$v=u+at$

$v=20-10\times 0.3253$

$v=16.747\ m/s$

and position of camera is same as of balloon so

Position is $=5+3\times 0.3253$

$=5.975\approx 6\ m$

A 6 kg cart starting from rest rolls down a hill and at the bottom has a speed of 10 m/s. What is the height of the hill?

Arisa [49]

Answer:

h = 5.09 m

Explanation:

Applying the Law of conservation of energy to this situation, we can write:

$Kinetic\ Energy\ Gained\ by\ the\ Cart = Potential\ Energy\ Lost\ by\ the\ Cart\\\frac{1}{2}mv^2 = mgh\\\\h = \frac{v^2}{2g}$

where,

h = height of the hill = ?

v = speed of cart at the end = 10 m/s

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

Therefore,

$h = \frac{(10\ m/s)^2}{(2)(9.81\ m/s^2)}\\\\$

<u>h = 5.09 m</u>

When is the best time to take a resting heart break

Olegator [25]

Answer:

I believe D

Explanation:

You need to have a more accurate reading and you want to test it multiple times throughout the week though to get a base resting rate.

I hope this is correct good luck!
