A radar for tracking aircraft broadcasts a 12 GHz microwave beam from a 2.0-m-diameter circular radar antenna. From a wave persp

NISA [10]

A) 750 m

First of all, let's find the wavelength of the microwave. We have

$f=12GHz=12\cdot 10^9 Hz$ is the frequency

$c=3.0\cdot 10^8 m/s$ is the speed of light

So the wavelength of the beam is

$\lambda=\frac{c}{f}=\frac{3\cdot 10^8 m/s}{12\cdot 10^9 Hz}=0.025 m$

Now we can use the formula of the single-slit diffraction to find the radius of aperture of the beam:

$y=\frac{m\lambda D}{a}$

where

m = 1 since we are interested only in the central fringe

D = 30 km = 30,000 m

a = 2.0 m is the aperture of the antenna (which corresponds to the width of the slit)

Substituting, we find

$y=\frac{(1)(0.025 m)(30000 m)}{2.0 m}=375 m$

and so, the diameter is

$d=2y = 750 m$

B) 0.23 W/m^2

First we calculate the area of the surface of the microwave at a distance of 30 km. Since the diameter of the circle is 750 m, the radius is

$r=\frac{750 m}{2}=375 m$

So the area is

$A=\pi r^2 = \pi (375 m)^2=4.42\cdot 10^5 m^2$

And since the power is

$P=100 kW = 1\cdot 10^5 W$

The average intensity is

$I=\frac{P}{A}=\frac{1\cdot 10^5 W}{4.42\cdot 10^5 m^2}=0.23 W/m^2$

Influenced by the gravitational pull of a distant star, the velocity of an asteroid changes from from +19.3 km/s to −18.8 km/s o

muminat

As per above given data

initial velocity = 19.3 km/s

final velocity = - 18.8 km/s

now in order to find the change in velocity

$\Delta v = v_f - v_i$

$\Delta v = -18.8 - 19.3$

$\Delta v = -38.1 km/s$

$\Delta v = -3.81 * 10^4 m/s$

Part b)

Now we need to find acceleration

acceleration is given by formula

$a = \frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}$

given that

$\Delta v =- 3.81 * 10^4 m/s$

$\Delta t = 2.07 years = 6.53 * 10^7 s$

now the acceleration is given as

$a = \frac{-3.81 * 10^4}{6.53 * 10^7}$

$a = - 5.84 * 10^{-4}m/s^2$

so above is the acceleration

Two satellites, X and Y, are orbiting Earth. Satellite X is 1.2 × 106 m from Earth, and Satellite Y is 1.9 × 105 m from Earth. W

jenyasd209 [6]

Answer: Satellite X has a greater period and a slower tangential speed than Satellite Y

Explanation:

According to Kepler’s Third Law of Planetary motion “The square of the orbital period of a planet is proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis (size) of its orbit”.

$T^{2}=\frac{4\pi^{2}}{GM}r^{3}$ (1)

Where;

$G=6.674(10)^{-11}\frac{m^{3}}{kgs^{2}}$ is the Gravitational Constant

$M=5.972(10)^{24}kg$ is the mass of the Earth

$r$ is the semimajor axis of the orbit each satellite describes around Earth (assuming it is a circular orbit, the semimajor axis is equal to the radius of the orbit)

So for satellite X, the orbital period $T_{X}$ is:

$T_{X}^{2}=\frac{4\pi^{2}}{GM}r_{X}^{3}$ (2)

Where $r_{X}=1.2(10)^{6}m$

$T_{X}^{2}=\frac{4\pi^{2}}{(6.674(10)^{-11}\frac{m^{3}}{kgs^{2}})(5.972(10)^{24}kg)}(1.2(10)^{6}m)^{3}$ (3)

$T_{X}=413.712 s$ (4)

For satellite Y, the orbital period $T_{Y}$ is:

$T_{Y}^{2}=\frac{4\pi^{2}}{GM}r_{Y}^{3}$ (5)

Where $r_{Y}=1.9(10)^{5}m$

$T_{Y}^{2}=\frac{4\pi^{2}}{(6.674(10)^{-11}\frac{m^{3}}{kgs^{2}})(5.972(10)^{24}kg)}(1.9(10)^{5}m)^{3}$ (6)

$T_{Y}=26.064 s$ (7)

This means $T_{X}>T_{Y}$

Now let's calculate the tangential speed for both satellites:

<u>For Satellite X:</u>

$V_{X}=\sqrt{\frac{GM}{r_{X}}}$ (8)

$V_{X}=\sqrt{\frac{(6.674(10)^{-11}\frac{m^{3}}{kgs^{2}})(5.972(10)^{24}kg)}{1.2(10)^{6}m}}$

$V_{X}=18224.783 m/s$ (9)

<u>For Satellite Y:</u>

$V_{Y}=\sqrt{\frac{GM}{r_{Y}}}$ (10)

$V_{Y}=\sqrt{\frac{(6.674(10)^{-11}\frac{m^{3}}{kgs^{2}})(5.972(10)^{24}kg)}{1.9(10)^{5}m}}$

$V_{Y}= 45801.13 m/s$ (11)

This means $V_{Y}>V_{X}$

Therefore:

Satellite X has a greater period and a slower tangential speed than Satellite Y

Can a runner's average speed be different from her average velocity?

Tomtit [17]

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

Since velocity is a vector, meaning it also relies on direction, the average speed can be different from her average velocity. An example would be if a runner turned around and ran backward after running 10 meters and returned to her starting point. If you took her average velocity of the entire trip it would actually be 0 but her average speed obviously would not be. This is why velocity can be negative but speed cannot.
