A active-satellite, one that sends out electromagnetic waves, can be the energy down toward the ocean surface and determine how

large the waves on the ocean are. How much energy comes back to the satellite and how fast it returns gives information. What is that?

Answer: This is called backscatter which refers to the ability of big waves to reflect the energy in order to give back the signal .

Explanation:

What is meant by backscatter?

Backscatter is the process where by the waves or signal is reflected back to the original direction and get scattered in all directions.

Backscatter allows us to receive signal and be able to view all the channels that are connected through the satellite.

A solenoid of length 18 cm consists of closely spaced coils of wire wrapped tightly around a wooden core. The magnetic field str
Kisachek [45]

Answer:

B_2 = 1.71 mT

Explanation:

As we know that the magnetic field near the center of solenoid is given as

B = \frac{\mu_0 N i}{L}

now we know that initially the length of the solenoid is L = 18 cm and N number of turns are wounded on it

So the magnetic field at the center of the solenoid is 2 mT

now we pulled the coils apart and the length of solenoid is increased as L = 21 cm

so we have

\frac{B_1}{B_2} = \frac{L_2}{L_1}

now plug in all values in it

\frac{2.0 mT}{B_2} = \frac{21}{18}

B_2 = 1.71 mT

A 6 V battery is connected to a 24 ohm resistor to create a circuit. The 6 V battery is then replaced with a 12 V battery. How d
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:

1.) The current is doubled

2.) moving a magnet up and down near the wire

3.) An electric current in the wire produces a magnetic field.

4.) Distance between Particles (m)

Explanation:

1.) When 6 V battery is connected to a 24 ohm resistor to create a circuit, using ohms law, V = IR

Current I = 6/24 = 0.25 A

When the The 6 V battery is replaced with a 12 V battery,

Current I = 12/24 = 0.5 A

Therefore, The current is doubled

2.) Electric current will be induced when moving a magnet up and down near the wire

3.) An electric current in the wire produces a magnetic field.

4.) Distance between Particles (m)

The force of attraction between two different masses is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.

What happens if two black holes collide
blagie [28]

When two black holes spiral around each other and ultimately collide, they send out gravitational waves - ripples in space and time that can be detected with extremely sensitive instruments on Earth. ... If confirmed, it would be the first known light flare from a pair of colliding black holes.
