Answer:

Electromagnetic waves are created by a charged particle that generates an electric field. The electric field creates a magnetic field. As the charged particle moves, the electric field and magnetic field keep changing, which causes the wave to move.

Rearrange the formula for mechanical energy to solve for height:

docker41 [41]

Explanation:

Given formula:

ME= $\frac{1}{2}$ mv²+mgh

To make height the subject of the formula, follow the following procedures;

Subtract $\frac{1}{2}$ mv² from both side of equation

M.E - $\frac{1}{2}$ mv² = $\frac{1}{2}$ mv² - $\frac{1}{2}$ mv²+mgh

This gives:

M.E - $\frac{1}{2}$ mv² = mgh

Multiply both sides of the expression by $\frac{1}{mg}$

( M.E - $\frac{1}{2}$ mv² ) x $\frac{1}{mg}$ = $\frac{1}{mg}$ x mgh

h = ( M.E - $\frac{1}{2}$ mv² ) x $\frac{1}{mg}$

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

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

Air escaping out from an air hose at a gas station always feels cool. Why?

kati45 [8]

Answer:

The air is contained at a high pressure in the tube. When it escapes from a small orifice, it suddenly expands. A large amount of its heat is absorbed in the process of expansion resulting in considerable fall in its temperature. This is why the escaping air feels cold.
