A "screen" or even just a set of parallel bars are highly reflective to electromagnetic waves as long as the open spaces are small compared to the wavelengths.

"Grid" dishes work fine ... with less weight and less wind resistance ... for frequencies below about 3 GHz. (Wavelengths of at least 10 cm.)

(I even worked on a microwave system in South America where huge grid dishes were used on a 90-mile link.)

A ball rolls up a ramp with a velocity of 8.0 m/s. How high up the ramp does it travel?
Flura [38]

The greatest height the ball will attain is 3.27 m

<h3>Data obtained from the question</h3>
  • Initial velocity (u) = 8 m/s
  • Final velocity (v) = 0 m/s (at maximum height)
  • Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²
  • Maximum height (h) =?

The maximum height to which the ball can attain can be obtained as follow:

v² = u² – 2gh (since the ball is going against gravity)

0² = 8² – (2 × 9.8 × h)

0 = 64 – 19.6h

Collect like terms

0 – 64 = –19.6h

–64 = –19.6h

Divide both side by –19.6

h = –64 / –19.6h

h = 3.27 m

Thus, the greatest height the ball can attain is 3.27 m

djverab [1.8K]
The gravitational field is the Force divided by the mass

Call g the gravitational fiel, F the force exerted by the earth and m the mass of the telescope.

g = F / m


g=9.1x10^4 N / 1.1 x 10^4 kg = 8.27 N/kg

Note that the unit N/kg is equivalent to m/s^2
