The Magdeburg hemispheres are a pair of large copper hemispheres, with mating rims. They were used to demonstrate the power of atmospheric pressure. When the rims were sealed with grease and the air was pumped out, the sphere contained a vacuum and could not be pulled apart by teams of horses.

Answer:

Magdeburg hemispheres are two half-spheres of equal size. Placing them together traps air between them. This air is merely trapped, and not compressed, so the pressure inside is the same as the pressure of the atmosphere outside the spheres. The spheres thus pull apart with nearly no resistance.

Is it possible to be moving but not be in motion?

GREYUIT [131]

No. Motion is the thing that when you're moving, you're in it.

But it IS possible for one person to say you're moving and another person to say you're not moving, both at the same time, and both of them are correct !

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

adell [148]

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

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;

20log₁₀ $e^{-\alpha _1l_{min$ = -100dB

we substitute

20log₁₀ $e^{-(310.7np/m)l_{min$ = -100dB

$l_{min$ = 3.71 cm

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

Who is most likely to benefit from use of lithium?

Alexxx [7]

I think that the people who are most likely to benefit from lithium is people with bipolar disorder. Because there have been tests that recently show that they use it for patients with that disease.

The drawing shows two situations in which charges are placed on the x and y axes. They are all located at the same distance of 5

ra1l [238]

Answer:

For situation (a)

net charge E = E₊₂ + E₋₅ + E₋₃

E = K(q/d²)

where K = 8.99e9

d = 5.7cm = 5.7e-2m

Therefore,

E₊₂(x) = K(q/d²) = (8.99e9)× ((2.0e-6)÷(5.7e-2)) = 3.15e5(+x)
