A circular radar antenna on a Coast Guard ship has a diameter of 2.10 m and radiates at a frequency of 16.0 GHz. Two small boats

are located 7.00 km away from the ship. How close together could the boats be and still be detected as two objects

Answer:

d = 76.5 m

Explanation:

To find the distance at which the boats will be detected as two objects, we need to use the following equation:

\theta = \frac{1.22 \lambda}{D} = \frac{d}{L}

<u>Where:</u>

θ: is the angle of resolution of a circular aperture

λ: is the wavelength

D: is the diameter of the antenna = 2.10 m

d: is the separation of the two boats = ?

L: is the distance of the two boats from the ship = 7.00 km = 7000 m

To find λ we can use the following equation:

\lambda = \frac{c}{f}

<u>Where:</u>

c: is the speed of light = 3.00x10⁸ m/s

f: is the frequency = 16.0 GHz = 16.0x10⁹ Hz

\lambda = \frac{c}{f} = \frac{3.00 \cdot 10^{8} m/s}{16.0 \cdot 10^{9} s^{-1}} = 0.0188 m            

Hence, the distance is:

d = \frac{1.22 \lambda L}{D} = \frac{1.22*0.0188 m*7000 m}{2.10 m} = 76.5 m

Therefore, the boats could be at 76.5 m close together to be detected as two objects.

 

I hope it helps you!

ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

Iron and gadlinium are both very easily made into magnetic substances.  Cobalt is also capable of being magnetized. Aluminum, put in an alloy, can make a magnetic substance, but

Aluminum by itself is not able to be magnetized.

The tub of a washer goes into its spin-dry cycle, starting from rest and reaching an angular speed of 6.0 rev/s in 11.0 s. At th
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer

given,

ω₁ = 0 rev/s

ω₂ = 6 rev/s

t = 11 s

Using equation of rotational motion

The angular acceleration is

  ωf - ωi = α t

  11 α = 6 - 0

      = 0.545 rev/s²

The angular displacement

  θ₁= ωi t + (1/2) α t²

  θ₁= 0 + (1/2) (0.545)(11)^2

  θ₁= 33 rev

case 2

ω₁ = 6 rev/s

ω₂ = 0 rev/s

t = 14 s

Using equation of rotational motion

The angular acceleration is

  ωf - ωi = α t

  14 α = 0 - 6

        = - 0.428 rev/s²

The angular displacement

  θ₂= ωi t + (1/2) α t²

  θ₂= 6 x 14 + (1/2) (-0.428)(14)^2

  θ₂= 42 rev

total revolution in 25 s is equal to

θ =  θ₁ +  θ₂

θ =  33 + 42

θ = 75 rev
