Tanya [424]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Neither the USGS nor any other scientists have ever predicted a major earthquake. USGS scientists can only calculate the probability that a significant earthquake will occur in a specific area within a certain number of years.

Radar uses radio waves of a wavelength of 2.4 \({\rm m}\) . The time interval for one radiation pulse is 100 times larger than t
blondinia [14]

Answer:

120 m

Explanation:

Given:

wavelength 'λ' = 2.4m

pulse width 'τ'= 100T ('T' is the time of one oscillation)

The below inequality express the range of distances to an object that radar can detect

τc/2 < x < Tc/2 ---->eq(1)

Where, τc/2 is the shortest distance

First we'll calculate Frequency 'f' in order to determine time of one oscillation 'T'

f = c/λ (c= speed of light i.e 3 x 10^{8} m/s)

f= 3 x 10^{8} / 2.4

f=1.25 x  10^{8} hz.

As, T= 1/f

time of one oscillation T= 1/1.25 x  10^{8}

T= 8 x 10^{-9} s

It was given that pulse width 'τ'= 100T

τ= 100 x 8 x 10^{-9} => 800 x 10^{-9} s

From eq(1), we can conclude that the shortest distance to an object that this radar can detect:

x_{min}= τc/2 =>  (800 x 10^{-9} x 3 x 10^{8})/2

x_{min}=120m

Explain newton 2nd law ???<br><br>​
shusha [124]

Explanation:

Newton's second law simply says that the net force on an object is equal to the object's mass times its acceleration.

∑F = ma

For example, think of a game of tug-of-war, in which two teams pull on a rope in opposite directions.

If the forces are equal (balanced), then the net force is 0 N, so Newton's second law tells us that the rope's acceleration is 0 m/s².

If the forces are not equal (unbalanced), then the net force is not 0 N, and the rope will accelerate in the direction of the net force.

if the masses are doubled then the force is increased by a factor of 4 


if the distance is doubled the force is decreased by a factor of 1/ 2^2 
the net result is no change in force</span>
