What is a radio wave made up of? Molecules? Electrons? Other?

2 answers:

4 0

Radio waves are radiated by charged particles when they are accelerated. They are produced artificially by time-varying electric currents, consisting of electrons flowing back and forth in a specially-shaped metal conductor called an antenna. ... Radio waves are received by another antenna attached to a radio receiver.

A civil engineer is asked to design a curved section of roadway that meets the following conditions: With ice on the road, when

lianna [129]

Answer:

1. $3.4^{o}$

2. 163.3 m

Explanation:

Static friction between road and rubber, μs =0.06

The maximum speed of the car, v = 50 km/h

= (50)(1000/3600) m/s

= 13.89 m/s

The acceleration due to gravity, $g = 9.81 m/s^{2}$

The frictional force, f = μsN ...... (1)

The component mg cosθ which balance the normal reaction N

The component mg sinθ acts in an opposite direction to the frictional force f.

ΣF = mg sinθ-f = 0 ...... (2)

Substitute the equation (1) in equation (2), we get

ΣF = mgsinθ-μsN = 0

mgsinθ-μsmgcosθ =0

μs = sinθ/cosθ

tanθ = μs

θ = tan-1( μs) = tan-1(0.06) = $3.4^{o}$

(b)The vertical component of the force is

N cosθ = fsinθ+mg

N cosθ = μsNsinθ+mg

N[cosθ- μs sinθ] = mg ...... (3)

The horizontal component of the force along the motion of the car is

Nsinθ+fcosθ = ma (Centripetal acceleration, $a = \frac {v^{2}}{r}$

Nsinθ+fcosθ = $m(\frac {v^{2}}{r})$

Nsinθ+μsNcosθ = $m(\frac {v^{2}}{r})$

N[sinθ+μs cosθ] = $m(\frac {v^{2}}{r})$ ...... (4)

Dividing the equation (4) with equation (3),

[sinθ+μscosθ]/[cosθ- μs sinθ] = $\frac {v^{2}}{rg}$

cosθ[sinθ/cosθ+μs]/cosθ[1- μs sinθ/cosθ] = $\frac {v^{2}}{rg}$

[tanθ+μs]/[1-μs tanθ] = $\frac {v^{2}}{rg}$

From part (1), tanθ = μs

Then the above equation becomes

$\frac {(\mu_s+\mu_s]}{[1-\mu_s^{2}]} =\frac {v^{2}}{rg}$

$\frac {(2\mu_s]}{[1-\mu_s^{2}]} =\frac {v^{2}}{rg}$

Therefore, the minimum radius of the curvature of the curve is

$r = \frac {v^{2}}{{2 \mu_s/[1-\mu_s^{2}]}g}$

= $\frac {v^{2}[1-\mu_s^{2}]}{2\mu_s g}$

= $\frac {(13.89 m/s)^{2}[1-(0.06)^{2}]}{(2)(0.06)(9.81)}$

= 163.3 m

A heat pump receives heat from a lake that has an average wintertime temperature of 6o C and supplies heat into a house having a

Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

a) $\dot W = 1.062\,kW$

Explanation:

a) Let consider that heat pump is reversible, so that the Coefficient of Performance is:

$COP_{HP} = \frac{T_{H}}{T_{H}-T_{L}}$

$COP_{HP} = \frac{298.15\,K}{298.15\,K-279.15\,K}$

$COP_{HP} = 15.692$

The minimum heat received by the house must be equal to the heat lost to keep the average temperature constant. Hence:

$\dot Q_{H} = 60000\,\frac{kJ}{h}$

The minimum power supplied to the heat pump is:

$\dot W = \frac{\dot Q_{H}}{COP}$

$\dot W = \frac{\left(60000\,\frac{kJ}{h} \right)\cdot \left(\frac{1\,h}{3600\,s} \right)}{15.692}$

$\dot W = 1.062\,kW$

Consider a standard room thermostat. Determine the sensor, transducer, output, and control stages for this measurement system.

Anni [7]

Answer:

Sensor/transducer: bimetallic thermometer

Output: displacement of thermometer tip

Control Tstages: mercury contact switch (open:furnace off; closed:furnace on

Explanation:

for a standard room thermostat : This is the device that sets/determines the temperature of an enclosure.

Sensor/transducer: bimetallic thermometer: Bimetalic thermometer are used for measuring the temperature of the ambient air . bimetallic thermometer actually contains two metals. they undergo linear expansivity as the temperature of the room changes.in other words, they experience contraction and expansion with increase or decrease in temperature.The sensor is basically coupled with a transducer which turns the measured variable(Temperature) into something else, such as a movement on a dial or an electrical signal

Output: displacement of thermometer tip

Controller: mercury contact switch (open:furnace off; closed:furnace on)

once the contact switch is open the furnace can go off. when the contact switch is closed, the furnace will come up.
