A section of a parallel-plate air waveguide with a plate separation of 7.11 mm is constructed to be used at 15 GHz as an evanesc

ent wave attenuator to attenuate all the modes except the TEM mode along the guide. Find the minimum length of this attenuator needed to attenuate each mode by at least 100 dB. Assume perfect conductor plates.

Answer:

the required minimum length of the attenuator is 3.71 cm

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

we know that;

f_{c_1 = c / 2a

where f is frequency, c is the speed of light in air and a is the plate separation distance.

we know that speed of light c = 3 × 10⁸ m/s = 3 × 10¹⁰ cm/s

plate separation distance a = 7.11 mm = 0.0711 cm

so we substitute

f_{c_1 = 3 × 10¹⁰ / 2( 0.0711  )

f_{c_1 = 3 × 10¹⁰ cm/s / 0.1422  cm

f_{c_1 =  21.1 GHz which is larger than 15 GHz { TEM mode is only propagated along the wavelength }

Now, we determine the minimum wavelength required

Each non propagating mode is attenuated by at least 100 dB at 15 GHz

so

Attenuation constant TE₁ and TM₁ expression is;

∝₁ = 2πf/c × √( (f_{c_1 / f)² - 1 )

so we substitute

∝₁ = ((2π × 15)/3 × 10⁸ m/s) × √( (21.1 / 15)² - 1 )

∝₁ = 3.1079 × 10⁻⁷

∝₁ = 310.79 np/m

Now, To find the minimum wavelength, lets consider the design constraint;

20log₁₀e^{-\alpha _1l_{min = -100dB

we substitute

20log₁₀e^{-(310.7np/m)l_{min = -100dB

l_{min = 3.71 cm

Therefore, the required minimum length of the attenuator is 3.71 cm

A proton and an alpha particle are momentarily at rest at adistance r from each other. They then begin to move apart.Find the sp
Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

The unknown quantities are:

E and F

The final velocity of the proton is:

√(8/3) k e^2/(m*r)

Explanation:

Hello!

We can solve this problem using conservation of energy and momentum.

Since both particles are at rest at the beginning, the initial energy and momentum are:

Ei = k (q1q2)/r

pi = 0

where k is the coulomb constant (= 8.987×10⁹ N·m²/C²)

and q1 = e and q2 = 2e

When the distance between the particles doubles, the energy and momentum are:

Ef = k (q1q2)/2r + (1/2)m1v1^2 + (1/2)m2v2^2

pf = m1v1 + m2v2

with m1 = m,   m2 = 4m,    v1=vf_p,    v2 = vf_alpha

The conservation momentum states that:

pi = pf      

Therefore:

m1v1 + m2v2 = 0

That is:

v2 = (1/4) v1

The conservation of energy states that:

Ei = Ef

Therefore:

k (q1q2)/r = k (q1q2)/2r + (1/2)m1v1^2 + (1/2)m2v2^2

Replacing

      m1 =  m, m2 = 4m, q1 = e, q2 = 2e

      and   v2 = (1/4)v1

We get:

(1/2)mv1^2 = k e^2/r + (1/2)4m(v1/4)^2 =  k e^2/r + (1/8)mv1^2

(3/8) mv1^2 = k e^2/r

v1^2 = (8/3) k e^2/(m*r)

A model engine accelerated forward from rest along a straight track at 10.0 m/s2 for 3.0 seconds. It then accelerates coward at
Mrac [35]

Answer:

17.2 seconds

Explanation:

Given:

v₀ = 0 m/s

a₁ = 10.0 m/s²

t₁ = 3.0 s

a₂ = 16 m/s²

t₂ = 5.0 s

a₃ = -12 m/s²

v₃ = 0 m/s

Find: t

First, find v₁:

v₁ = a₁t₁ + v₀

v₁ = (10.0 m/s²) (3.0 s) + (0 m/s)

v₁ = 30 m/s

Next, find v₂:

v₂ = a₂t₂ + v₁

v₂ = (16 m/s²) (5.0 s) + (30 m/s)

v₂ = 110 m/s

Finally, find t₃:

v₃ = a₃t₃ + v₂

(0 m/s) = (-12 m/s²) t₃ + (110 m/s)

t₃ = 9.2 s

The total time is:

t = t₁ + t₂ + t₃

t = 3.0 s + 5.0 s + 9.2 s

t = 17.2 s

Round as needed.
