It takes 3.8 x 10^-5 for a pulse of the radio waves from a radar to reach a plane and bounce back. How far is the plane from the radar?

Respuesta :

Answer: 11400 m

Explanation:

Given:

t = 3.8 x 10^-5 s

v = 3 x 10^8 m/s

d = ?

Formula:

d = vt

  = (3.8 x 10^-5 s)(3 x 10^8 m/s)

  = 11400 m

hope this helps :)

The uniform movement allows to find the results for the distance from the radar to the plane is: 5.7 10³ m or 5.7 km

Kinematics studies the motion of objects looking for relationships between position, velocity and acceleration, in the special case that the acceleration is zero is called uniform motion and is described by the expression

                [tex]v = \frac{d}{t}[/tex]

                d = v t

Where v is the velocity, d the displacement and t the time.

Radar waves are electromagnetic waves with constant velocity

            v = 3 10⁸ m/s

They indicate that the time of the waves to go to the plane and return is 3.8 10⁻⁵ s, therefore if the speed is constant, the time to reach the plane is half of the total time.

          t = [tex]\frac{t_{total} }{ 2}[/tex]

          t = [tex]\frac{3.8 \ 10^{-5}}{2}[/tex]  

          t = 1.9 10⁻⁵ s

Let's calculate

        d = 3 10⁸ 1.9 10⁻⁵

        d = 5.7 10³

In conclusion with the uniform movement we can find the results for the distance from the radar to the plane is: 5.7 10³ m or 5.7 km
