Suppose that a particular artillery piece has a range R = 9880 yards . Find its range in miles. Use the facts that 1mile=5280ft

and 3ft=1yard.

Answer:

R = 9880 yd * 3 ft/yd / 5280 ft/mi = 5.61 mi

If you do it in steps

R = 9880 yd * 3 ft/yd = 29640 ft

R = 29640 ft / 5280 ft/mi = 5.61 mi

What type of modulation is typically used by broadcasting stations to transmit pictures on television screens?

erik [133]

Answer:

The correct option is;

Amplitude

Explanation:

When transmitting picture signals over the air by broadcasting stations, the signals are shifted into high frequency channels of Very High Frequency (VHF) or Ultra High Frequency (UHF) carrier currents and imposing the the television signal by changing the amplitude of the high frequency carrier current to match the transmitted television signal waveform shape

What is the station's orbital speed? the radius of earth is 6.37×106m, its mass is 5.98×1024kg.

Paha777 [63]

Answer:

$v_o=2503.08\frac{m}{s}$

Explanation:

Orbital velocity is the speed that a body that orbits around another body must have, for its orbit to be stable. For orbits with small eccentricity and when one of the masses is almost negligible compared to the other mass, like in this case, the orbital speed is given by:

$v_o=\sqrt{\frac{GM}{r}}$

Where M is the greater mass around which this negligible body is orbiting, r is the radius of the greater mass and G is the universal gravitational constant. So:

$v_o=\sqrt{\frac{6.674*10^{-11}\frac{m^3}{kg\cdot s^2}(5.98*10^{24}kg)}{6.37*10^6m}}\\v_o=2503.08\frac{m}{s}$

A projectile is launched at an angle of 29 degrees above the horizontal with an initial velocity of 36.6 at an unknown height.

fgiga [73]

The vertical velocity of the projectile upon returning to its original is 17. 74 m/s

<h3>How to determine the vertical velocity</h3>

Using the formula:

Vertical velocity component , Vy = V * sin(α)

Where

V = initial velocity = 36. 6 m/s

α = angle of projectile = 29°

Substitute into the formula

Vy = 36. 6 * sin ( 29°)

Vy = 36. 6 * 0. 4848

Vy = 17. 74 m/s

Thus, the vertical velocity of the projectile upon returning to its original is 17. 74 m/s

Tennis balls traveling at greater than 100 mph routinely bounce off tennis rackets. At some sufficiently high speed, however, th

Kipish [7]

Answer:

Probability of tunneling is $10^{- 1.17\times 10^{32}}$

Solution:

As per the question:

Velocity of the tennis ball, v = 120 mph = 54 m/s

Mass of the tennis ball, m = 100 g = 0.1 kg

Thickness of the tennis ball, t = 2.0 mm = $2.0\times 10^{- 3}\ m$

Max velocity of the tennis ball, $v_{m} = 200\ mph$ = 89 m/s

Now,

The maximum kinetic energy of the tennis ball is given by:

$KE = \frac{1}{2}mv_{m}^{2} = \frac{1}{2}\times 0.1\times 89^{2} = 396.05\ J$

Kinetic energy of the tennis ball, KE' = $\frac{1}{2}mv^{2} = 0.5\times 0.1\times 54^{2} = 154.8\ m/s$

Now, the distance the ball can penetrate to is given by:

$\eta = \frac{\bar{h}}{\sqrt{2m(KE - KE')}}$

$\bar{h} = \frac{h}{2\pi} = \frac{6.626\times 10^{- 34}}{2\pi} = 1.0545\times 10^{- 34}\ Js$

Thus

$\eta = \frac{1.0545\times 10^{- 34}}{\sqrt{2\times 0.1(396.05 - 154.8)}}$

$\eta = \frac{1.0545\times 10^{- 34}}{\sqrt{2\times 0.1(396.05 - 154.8)}}$

$\eta = 1.52\times 10^{-35}\ m$

Now,

We can calculate the tunneling probability as:

$P(t) = e^{\frac{- 2t}{\eta}}$

$P(t) = e^{\frac{- 2\times 2.0\times 10^{- 3}}{1.52\times 10^{-35}}} = e^{-2.63\times 10^{32}}$

$P(t) = e^{-2.63\times 10^{32}}$

Taking log on both the sides:

$logP(t) = -2.63\times 10^{32} loge$

$P(t) = 10^{- 1.17\times 10^{32}}$
