How does a phased array allow you to locate the exact position of an object?

Physics
1 answer:
Hatshy [7]2 years ago
3 0

Answer and Explanation:

A phased array can be referred to the array that is scanned electronically or an array of antenna creating a radio wave beam and is computer controlled and can be directed in different pathways without the movement of antennas.

When the beam created by phrased array is incident on an object, it is reflected and an echo that can be detected, returns to the antenna.

The object bearing is provided by the direction of return of the echo to the antenna and the distance of the object is indicated by the lag between the pulse transmission and its echo.

For which of the following problems would a scientist most likely use carbon-14?
spayn [35]

Answer:

To calculate the age of a piece of bone

Explanation:

Carbon 14 is an isotope of carbon that is unstable and decays into Nitrogen 14 by emitting an electron. The decay rate of radioactive material is  normally expressed in terms of its "half-life" (the time required by half the radioactive nuclei of a sample to undergo radioactive decay). The nice thing about carbon 14 is that its "half-life" is about 5730 years, which gives a nice reference to measure the age of fossils that are some thousand years old.

Carbon 14 dating is used to determine the age of objects that have been living organisms long ago. They measure how much carbon 14 is left in the object after years of decaying without having exchange with the ambient via respiration, ingestion, absorption, etc. and therefore having renewed the normal amount of carbon 14 that is in the ambient.

A rock is not a living organism, so its age cannot be determined by carbon 14 dating.

Which is NOT a "commonsense" psychological myth?
disa [49]

Answer:A. infants who listen to Mozart are smarter than those that don't.

Explanation: Common Sense is a sound practical judgement of the scheme of things, it can be easily understood as one thinks about life situation.

All other options such as MOST OLDER PEOPLE LIVE SAD AND SOLITARY LIVES ARE CORRECT AS THEY ARE KNOWN TO BE MORE LIKELY TO FALL SICK EASILY.

EATING "COMFORT FOOD" MAKES YOU FEEL HAPPIER IS KNOWN TO BE TRUE AND "COMMONSENSE"

UNLEASHING ANGER CAN MAKE YOU MORE AGGRESSIVE IS A "COMMONSENSE".

only the first option which says infants who listen to Mozart are smarter than those that don't listen to Mozart is not a "commonsense" psychological myth.

three neutral metal cans mounted on isulating stands are touching a negatively charge ballon is brought near can a can b is then
Nimfa-mama [501]
Charge on can A is positive. 
Charge on can C is negative.  
Punctuation and capitalization are very useful things to pay attention to and this question would be a lot easier to understand if you had actually used both capitalization and punctuation. If I'm understanding the question, you have 3 metal can that are insulated from the environment and initially touching each other in a straight line. Then a negatively charged balloon is brought near, but not touching one of the cans in that line of cans. While the balloon is near, the middle can is removed. Then you want to know the charge on the can that was nearest the balloon and the charge on the can that was furthermost from the balloon. 
 As the balloon is brought near to can a, the negative charge on the balloon repels some of the electrons from can a (like charges repel). Some of those electrons will flow to can b and in turn flow to can c. Basically you'll have a charge gradient that's most positive on that part of the can that's closest to the balloon, and most negative on the part of the cans that's furthest from the balloon. You then remove can B which causes cans A and C to be electrically isolated from each other and prevents the flow of elections to equalize the charges on cans A and C when the balloon is removed. So you're left with a deficiency of electrons on can A, so can A will have a positive overall charge, and an excess of electrons on can C, so can C will have a negative overall charge.

A 2 kg stone is tied to a 0.5 m string and swung around a circle at a constant angular velocity of 12 rad/s. the angular momentu
Illusion [34]
Starting from the angular velocity, we can calculate the tangential velocity of the stone:
v=\omega r= (12 rad/s)(0.5 m)= 6 m/s

Then we can calculate the angular momentum of the stone about the center of the circle, given by
L=mvr
where
m is the stone mass
v its tangential velocity
r is the radius of the circle, that corresponds to the length of the string.

Substituting the data of the problem, we find
L=(2 kg)(6 m/s)(0.5 m)=6 kg m^2 s^{-1}

A mass of 630g is hung on a spring. Using Force = mass x gravity, what is the force of the mass, acting on the spring?
hodyreva [135]

Answer:

6.174N or roughly 6.2N

Explanation:

630g=0.63kg

F=m*g=0.63*9.8=6.174N
