Which object has the most potential energy... ASAP

A circular radar antenna on a Coast Guard ship has a diameter of 2.10 m and radiates at a frequency of 16.0 GHz. Two small boats

Anna35 [415]

Answer:

d = 76.5 m

Explanation:

To find the distance at which the boats will be detected as two objects, we need to use the following equation:

$\theta = \frac{1.22 \lambda}{D} = \frac{d}{L}$

Where:

θ: is the angle of resolution of a circular aperture

λ: is the wavelength

D: is the diameter of the antenna = 2.10 m

d: is the separation of the two boats = ?

L: is the distance of the two boats from the ship = 7.00 km = 7000 m

To find λ we can use the following equation:

$\lambda = \frac{c}{f}$

Where:

c: is the speed of light = 3.00x10⁸ m/s

f: is the frequency = 16.0 GHz = 16.0x10⁹ Hz

$\lambda = \frac{c}{f} = \frac{3.00 \cdot 10^{8} m/s}{16.0 \cdot 10^{9} s^{-1}} = 0.0188 m$

Hence, the distance is:

$d = \frac{1.22 \lambda L}{D} = \frac{1.22*0.0188 m*7000 m}{2.10 m} = 76.5 m$

Therefore, the boats could be at 76.5 m close together to be detected as two objects.

I hope it helps you!

If an electric wire is allowed to produce a magnetic field no larger than that of the Earth (0.503 X 104 T) at a distance of 15

dem82 [27]

Answer:

37.725 A

Explanation:

B = magnitude of the magnetic field produced by the electric wire = 0.503 x 10⁻⁴ T

r = distance from the wire where the magnetic field is noted = 15 cm = 0.15 m

i = magnitude of current flowing through the wire = ?

Magnetic field by a long wire is given as

$B = \frac{\mu _{o}}{4\pi }\frac{2i}{r}$

Inserting the values

$0.503\times 10^{-4} = (10^{-7})\frac{2i}{0.15}$

i = 37.725 A

A transformer has a primary voltage of 115 V and a secondary voltage of 24 V. If the number of turns in the primary is 345, how

Eduardwww [97]

Here's a fun and useful factoid:

   The ratio of the voltages on a transformer is the same
   as the ratio of the number of turns in each winding.

So the ratio of (345 to the secondary turns) is (115V to 24V).

That's a proportion.

   (115/24) = (345/x)

I'll bet you can take it and solve it from here.
Just cross-multiply in the proportion and etc. etc.

True or False: Cooler objects always have more thermal energy than warmer objects.

tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

False

Because you can see using a thermal camera I guess

A baseball player throws a baseball at 42 m/s. If the other player catching the baseball is 18 m from the player, how much time

Hitman42 [59]

Divide the distance by the speed:

(18 m) / (42 m/s) = 3/7 s ≈ 0.43 s
