Ignoring reflection at the air-water boundary, if the amplitude of a 10 GHz incident wave in air is 20 V/m at the water surface,
dimaraw [331]

Answer:

0.80267 m

Explanation:

E(z) = Electric field = 1 µV/m

E_0 = 20 V/m

z = Depth

\sigma = Conductivity = 0.1 S/m

\epsilon_r = 81

\mu = Impedance of free space = 120\pi\ \Omega

Frequency is given by

E(z)=E_0e^{-\alpha z}

Parameter is given by

\alpha=\dfrac{\sigma}{2}\sqrt{\dfrac{\mu}{\epsilon_r}}\\\Rightarrow \alpha=\dfrac{1}{2}\sqrt{\dfrac{(120\pi)^2}{81}}\\\Rightarrow \alpha=20.94395\ N_p/m

From the first equation

1\times 10^{-6}=20e^{-20.94395z}\\\Rightarrow ln\dfrac{1\times 10^{-6}}{20}=-20.94395z\\\Rightarrow z=\dfrac{ln\dfrac{1\times 10^{-6}}{20}}{-20.94395}\\\Rightarrow z=0.80267\ m

The depth is 0.80267 m

A 5-kg can of paint is sitting on top of a 2-meter high step ladder. How much work did you do to move the can of paint to the to
Xelga [282]

98J

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of paint can = 5kg

Height of ladder = 2m

Unknown:

Work done = ?

Potential energy = ?

Solution:

Work done in moving the paint is the force applied under gravity to move it through the give height.

Potential energy is the energy due the position of a body at rest.

For this body:

The work done in moving the paint =  Potential energy at the top of ladder = m x  g x h

m is the mass of the pain can

g is the acceleration due to gravity

h is the height of the building

Input the variables;

 Work done = 5 x 9.8 x 2 = 98J

Potential energy  = 98J

Some believe that the positions of the planets at the time
laila [671]

Answer:

1.4007\times 10^{-8}\ N

1.50075\times 10^{-6}\ N

0.000000667\ N

Explanation:

m_1 = Mass of baby = 3 kg

G = Gravitational constant = 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ m³/kgs²

r = Distance between objects

Gravitational force of attraction is given by

F=\dfrac{Gm_1m_2}{r^2}\\\Rightarrow F=\dfrac{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 70\times 3}{1^2}\\\Rightarrow F=1.4007\times 10^{-8}\ N

The force between baby and obstetrician is 1.4007\times 10^{-8}\ N

F=\dfrac{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 3\times 2.7\times 10^{27}}{(6\times 10^{11})^2}\\\Rightarrow F=1.50075\times 10^{-6}\ N

The force between the baby and Jupiter is 1.50075\times 10^{-6}\ N

F=\dfrac{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 3\times 2.7\times 10^{27}}{(9\times 10^{11})^2}\\\Rightarrow F=0.000000667\ N

The force between the baby and Jupiter is 0.000000667\ N

Why are you able to observe the Doppler effect on earth with sound waves but not with light waves?
VladimirAG [237]

Answer: When an ambulance passes with its siren blaring, you hear the pitch of the siren change: as it approaches, the siren’s pitch sounds higher than when it is moving away from you. This change is a common physical demonstration of the Doppler effect.

What would be the coefficient of performance if the refrigerator (operating between the same temperatures) was instead used as a
viktelen [127]

Complete Question

A certain refrigerator, operating between temperatures of -8.00°C and +23.2°C, can be approximated as a Carnot refrigerator.

What is the refrigerator's coefficient of performance? COP

(b) What If? What would be the coefficient of performance if the refrigerator (operating between the same temperatures) was instead used as a heat pump? COP

Answer:

a

 COP = 8.49

b

  COP_1 = 9.49  

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The lower operation temperature of refrigerator is  T_1 =  -8.00^oC =  265 \  K

     The upper operation temperature of the refrigerator is   T_2 =  23.2 ^oC =  296.2 \  K

Generally the refrigerators coefficient of performance is mathematically represented as

        COP =  \frac{T_1}{T_2 - T_1  }

=>     COP =  \frac{265}{296.2 - 265  }

=>     COP = 8.49

Generally if a refrigerator (operating between the same temperatures) was instead used as a heat pump , the coefficient of performance is mathematically represented as

            COP_1 =  \frac{T_2}{ T_2 - T_1}  

=>         COP_1 =  \frac{296.2}{ 296.2 - 265 }  

=>         COP_1 = 9.49
