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 high-jump athlete leaves the ground, lifting her center of mass 1.8 m and crossing the bar with a horizontal velocity of 1.4 m

Romashka [77]

Answer:

The minimum speed when she leave the ground is 6.10 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Horizontal velocity = 1.4 m/s

Height = 1.8 m

We need to calculate the minimum speed must she leave the ground

Using conservation of energy

$K.E+P.E=P.E+K.E$

$\dfrac{1}{2}mv_{1}^2+0=mgh+\dfrac{1}{2}mv_{2}^2$

$\dfrac{v_{1}^2}{2}=gh+\dfrac{v_{2}^2}{2}$

Put the value into the formula

$\dfrac{v_{1}^2}{2}=9.8\times1.8+\dfrac{(1.4)^2}{2}$

$\dfrac{v_{1}^2}{2}=18.62$

$v_{1}=\sqrt{2\times18.62}$

$v_{1}=6.10\ m/s$

Hence, The minimum speed when she leave the ground is 6.10 m/s.

An astronaut finds herself in a predicament in which she has become untethered from her shuttle. She figures that she could get

Blizzard [7]

In order to solve the problem, it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the conservation of momentum, especially when there is an impact or the throwing of an object.

The equation that defines the linear moment is given by

$mV_i = (m-m_O)V_f - m_OV_O$

where,

m=Total mass

$m_O =$ Mass of Object

$V_i =$ Velocity before throwing

$V_f =$ Final Velocity

$V_O =$ Velocity of Object

Our values are:

$m_1=5.3kgm_2=7.9kg\\m_3=10.5kg\\m_A=75kg\\m_{Total}=m=98.7Kg$

Solving to find the final speed, after throwing the object we have

$V_f=\frac{mV_0+m_TV_O}{m-m_O}$

We have three objects. For each object a launch is made so the final mass (denominator) will begin to be subtracted successively. In addition, during each new launch the initial speed will be given for each object thrown again.

That way during each section the equations should be modified depending on the previous one, let's start:

A) $5.3Kg\rightarrow 15m/s$

$V_{f1}=\frac{mV_0+m_TV_O}{m-m_O}$

$V_{f1}=\frac{(98.7)*0+5.3*15}{98.7-5.3}$

$V_{f1}=0.8511m/s$

B) $7.9Kg\rightarrow 11.2m/s$

$V_{f2}=\frac{mV_{f1}+m_TV_O}{m-m_O}$

$V_{f2}=\frac{(98.7)(0.8511)+(7.9)(11.2)}{98.7-5.3-7.9}$

$V_{f2} = 2.0173m/s$

C) $10.5Kg\rightarrow 7m/s$

$V_{f3}=\frac{mV_{f2}+m_TV_O}{m-m_O}$

$V_{f3}=\frac{(98.7)(2.0173)+(10.5)(7)}{98.7-5.3-7.9-10.5}$

$V_{f3} = 3.63478m/s$

Therefore the final velocity of astronaut is 3.63m/s
