Radio station KBOB broadcasts at a frequency of 85.7 MHz on your dial using radio waves that travel at 3.00 × 108 m/s. Since most of the station's audience is due south of the transmitter, the managers of KBOB don't want to waste any energy broadcasting to the east and west. They decide to build two towers, transmitting in phase at exactly the same frequency, aligned on an east-west axis. For engineering reasons, the two towers must be AT LEAST 10.0 m apart. What is the shortest distance between the towers that will eliminate all broadcast power to the east and west?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

12.5 m

Explanation:

The first thing we would do is to calculate the wavelength. To do this, we use the formula

v = fλ, where

v = wave speed

f = frequency

λ = wavelength

If we make wavelength the formula, we have

wavelength = speed / frequency

Now, we substitute the values we had been given and we have

wavelength = (3 * 10^8 m/s) / (85.7 * 10^6 Hz) wavelength = 3.50 m

half of this said wavelength will be

= 3.50 / 2

= 1.75 m

As a result of the engineering constraints with the towers being more than 10 m apart, the distance can't be 1.75 m and as such, it has to be a multiple of 1.75m. So we say,

(10 / 1.75) = 5.7

So the separation will have to be 7 half wavelengths

= (7 * 1.75) = 12.5 m

While making some observations at the top of the 66 m tall Astronomy tower, Ron
accidently knocks a 0.5 kg stone over the edge. How long will a student at the bottom
have to get out of the way before being hit?

Answers

Analysing the question:

Since the stone was dropped, there was no initial velocity applied on it and hence it's initial velocity of the stone is 0 m/s

We are given:

height of the tower (h) = 66 m

mass of the stone (m) = 0.5 kg

initial velocity of the stone (u) = 0 m/s

time taken by the stone to reach the ground (t) = t seconds

acceleration due to gravity = 10 m/s²

** Neglecting air resistance**

Finding the time taken by the stone to reach the ground:

from the second equation of motion

h = ut + 1/2at²

replacing the variables

66 = (0)(t) + 1/2 (10)(t)²

66 = 5t²

t² = 13.2

t = 3.6 seconds

I initially wanted to subtract the height of the student from the height of the tower since the time i calculated is the time taken by the stone to reach the ground and that means that the stone has already hit the student before 3.6 seconds

but since we were NOT given the height of a student, the person who posed this question wants the time taken by the stone to reach the ground and that is what we solved

B. surface charge density on each plate
C. stored energy
D. electricfield between the two places
E. charge on each plate"

Answers

Answer: C.

Explanation:

For a parallel-plate capacitor where the distance between the plates is d.

The capacitance is:

C = e*A/d

You can see that the distance is in the denominator, then if we double the distance, the capacitance halves.

Now, the stored energy can be written as:

E = (1/2)*Q^2/C

Now you can see that in this case, the capacitance is in the denominator, then we can rewrite this as:

E = (1/2)*Q^2*d/(e*A)

e is a constant, A is the area of the plates, that is also constant, and Q is the charge, that can not change because the capacitor is disconnected.

Then we can define:

K = (1/2)*Q^2/(e*A)

And now we can write the energy as:

E = K*d

Then the energy is proportional to the distance between the plates, this means that if we double the distance, we also double the energy.

If the plates are pulled apart to twice their original separation, then this will double the stored energy. Hence, option (C) is correct.

The given problem is based on the concept of parallel plat capacitor. For a parallel-plate capacitor where the distance between the plates is d.

The capacitance is:

C = e*A/d

here.

e is the permittivity of free space.

Since, the distance is inversely proportional then if we double the distance, the capacitance halves.  Now, the stored energy can be given as,

E = (1/2)*Q^2/C

here,

Q is the charge stored in the capacitor.

Now you can see that in this case, the capacitance is in the denominator, then we can rewrite this as:

E = (1/2)*Q^2*d/(e*A)

e is a constant, A is the area of the plates, that is also constant, and Q is the charge, that can not change because the capacitor is disconnected.

Then we can define:

K = (1/2)*Q^2/(e*A)

And now we can write the energy as:

E = K*d

So, the energy is proportional to the distance between the plates.

Thus, we can conclude that if the plates are pulled apart to twice their original separation, then this will double the stored energy. Hence, option (C) is correct.

A plane flying horizontally at a speed of 40.0 m/s and at an elevation of 160 m drops a package. Two seconds later it drops a second package. How far apart will the two packages land on the ground?

Answers

Answer:

Package 1 will land at 228.0 m, package 2 will land at 308.0 m, and the distance between them is 80.0 m.

 

Explanation:

To find the distance at which the first package will land we need to calculate the time:

[tex] Y_{f} = Y_{0} + V_{0y}t - \frac{1}{2}gt^{2} [/tex]

Where:

Y(f) is the final position = 0

Y(0) is the initial position = 160 m

V(0y) is initial speed in "y" direction = 0

g is the gravity = 9.81 m/s²

t is the time=?                                          

[tex] 0 = 160 m + 0t - \frac{1}{2}9.81 m/s^{2}t^{2} [/tex]

[tex] t = \sqrt{\frac{2*160 m}{9.81 m/s^{2}}} = 5.7 s [/tex]

Now we can find the distance of the first package:

[tex] X_{1} = V_{0x}*t = 40.0 m/s*5.7 s = 228.0 m [/tex]

Then, after 2 seconds the distance traveled by plane is (from the initial position):

[tex] X_{p} = V_{0x}*t = 40.0 m/s*2 s = 80.0 m [/tex]

Now, the distance of the second package is:

[tex] X _{2} = X_{1} + X_{p} = 228.0 m + 80.0 m = 308.0 m [/tex]

The distance between the packages is:

[tex] X = X_{2} - X_{1} = 308.0 - 228.0 m = 80.0 m [/tex]

Therefore, package 1 will land at 228.0 m, package 2 will land at 308.0 m and the distance between them is 80.0 m.

If you weigh 660 N on the earth, what would be your weight on the surface of a neutron star that has the same mass as our sun and a diameter of 20.0 km? Take the mass of the sun to be 1.99×10^30, the gravitational constant to be G = 6.67×10^−11Nm^2/kg^2, and the acceleration due to gravity at the earth's surface to be g = 9.810 m/s^2.p

Answers

Answer:

8.93*10^13 N.

Explanation:

Assuming that in this case, the weight is just the the force exerted on you by the mass of the star, due to gravity, we can apply the Universal Law of Gravitation:

       [tex]F_{g}= \frac{G*m_{1}*m_{s}}{r_{s}^{2} }[/tex]

where, m1 = mass of  the man = 660 N / 9.81 m/s^2 = 67.3 kg, ms = mass of the star = 1.99*10^30 kg, G= Universal Constant of Gravitation, and rs= radius of the star = 10.0 km. = 10^4 m.Replacing by the values, we get:

       [tex]F_{g}= \frac{6.67e-11Nm^2/kg^2*1.99e30 kg*67.3 kg}{10e4m^2} = 8.93e13 N[/tex]

Fg = 8.93*10^13 N.

the diagram shows a contour map. letter a through k are reference points on the map. which points are located at the same elevation above sea level?

Answers

Answer:

K and I

Explanation:

Contour maps use lines that represent spaces in a map that have the same elevation, this means that all the lines should be continuous and closed, in this case, we are not able to see the full extent of most of the lines, but since the points are located in different lines we can assume that they are at different heights, so since only point K and point I are on the same line, we know that these two points are at the same height.

A) By applying a known force, and measuring it's acceleration.

Explanation:

This is actually something that astronauts do in space as a mathmatical exercise when calculating the mass of an object since F = m × a.

What is an Electrostatic Force?

One of the basic forces in the cosmos is electrostatic force. In the universe, there are four basic forces. These include gravitational force, electromagnetic force, weak nuclear force, and strong nuclear force. Under the umbrella of electromagnetic force is electrostatic force. Two charges placed apart are subject to the electrostatic force. The size of each charged and the separation between them determines how much electrostatic force there will be.

When two charges of the same type are brought together, whether positive or negative, they repel one another. It is known as the electrostatic force of repelling when it operates among two charges that are similar.

Therefore, the electrostatic forces are trillions of times stronger than the gravitational forces.

Answers

Answer:

F = 58.35 [N]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use Newton's second law, which tells us that force is equal to the product of mass by acceleration. But first we must use the following equation of kinematics.

We have to convert speeds from kilometers per hour to meters per second

[tex]\frac{26km}{hr}*\frac{1000m}{1km}*\frac{1hr}{3600s}=\frac{7.22m}{s} \\\frac{54km}{hr}*\frac{1000m}{1km}*\frac{1hr}{3600s}=15\frac{m}{s}[/tex]

[tex]v_{f}=v_{o}+(a*t) \\[/tex]

where:

Vf = final velocity = 15 [m/s]

Vi = initial velocity = 7.22 [m/s]

a = acceleration [m/s^2]

t = time = 4 [s]

Note: the positive sign of the above equation is because the car increases its speed

15 = 7.22 + (a*4)

a = 1.945 [m/s^2]

Now we can use the Newton's second law:

F = m*a

F = 30*1.945

F = 58.35 [N]
