I think there's a typo because the answer I'm getting is very large.

This is what I'm getting

--------------------------------------

c = speed of light

c = 3.0 x 10^8 m/sec approximately

This is roughly 300 million meters per second

The time it takes the signal to reach the aircraft and come back is 1.4 x 10^3 seconds. Half of this time period is going one direction (say from the radar station to the aircraft), so (1.4 x 10^3)/2 = 7.0 x 10^2 seconds is spent going in this one direction.

distance = rate*time

d = r*t

d = (3.0 x 10^8) * (7.0 x 10^2)

d = (3.0*7.0) x (10^8*10^2)

d = 21.0 x 10^(8+2)

d = 21.0 x 10^10

d = (2.1 x 10^1) * 10^10

d = 2.1 x (10^1*10^10)

d = 2.1 x 10^11 meters

d = 210,000,000,000 meters (this is 210 billion meters; equivalent to roughly 130,487,950 miles)

6. The momentum of a 30.0 g bird with a speed of 12 m.s-1 is 0.36 kg.m.s-1. What will be its momentum 12s later if a constant .0
Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

Explanation:

initial momentum = .36 kg.m.s⁻¹

negative impulse = force x time = .02 x 12 = .24 kg.m.s⁻¹

final momentum - initial momentum = impulse

final momentum = initial momentum + impulse

= .36 - .24

= .12 kg.m.s⁻¹

Nonmetals in the periodic table have a negative oxidation number. Which statement best explains why?
Tema [17]
They have a negative oxidation number because nonmetals gain electrons, thus making them negatively charged ions (anions). Metals become cations and have a positive charge because they lose electrons.

If the magnetic flux through a loop increases according to the relation; where , is in milliweber (mWb) and t is in seconds. Cal
Alekssandra [29.7K]

The magnitude of e.m.f induced in the loop when t = 2 s is 31 Volts.

<h3>emf induced in the loop</h3>

The magnitude of e.m.f induced in the loop is calculated as follows;

emf = dФ/dt

Ф = 6t² + 7t

dФ/dt = 12t + 7

at t = 2 seconds

emf = dФ/dt = 12(2) + 7 = 31 V

Thus,  the magnitude of e.m.f induced in the loop when t = 2 s is 31 Volts.

A typical atomic polarizability is 1 × 10-40 (C·m)/(N/C). If the q in p = qs is equal to the proton charge e, what charge separa
Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:

s = 6.25 10⁻²² m

Explanation:

Polarizability is the separation of electric charges in a structure, in the case of the atom it is the result of the separation of positive charges in the nucleus and the electrons in their orbits, macroscopically it is approximated by

                p = q s

               s = p / q

let's calculate

              s = 1 10⁻⁴⁰ / 1.6 10⁻¹⁹

              s = 0.625 10⁻²¹ m

              s = 6.25 10⁻²² m

We see that the result is much smaller than the size of the atom, therefore this simplistic model cannot be taken to an atomic scale.

A thin stream of water flows smoothly from a faucet and falls straight down. at one point the water is flowing at a speed of v1
kati45 [8]
<span>The formulas are, v1d1² = v2d2² ........ (1) h = (v2²-v1²)/2g ...... (2) Given that, v1 = 1.71 m/s we assume that the stream has decreased by a factor d2 =0.805d1 then, v1d1² = v2 (0.805d1)² cancelled both side d1² then we get, v1 = v2 (0.805)² v1 = v2 (0.648025) Sub v1 = 1.71, 1.71 = v2 (0.648025) v2 = 1.71/0.648025 v2 = 2.638787083831642 v2 = 2.64 m/s The vertical distance formula, h = (v2²-v1²)/2g We know that value of gravity constant is 9.8 m/s² h = {(2.64)² - (1.71)²)/2(9.8) h = {(6.9696) - (2.9241)}/19.6 h = (4.0455)/19.6 h = 0.2064030612244898 h = 0.21 cm Therefore, the vertical distance h = 0.21 cm.</span>
