CP A 1750-N irregular beam is hanging horizontally by its ends from the ceiling by two vertical wires (A and B), each 1.25 m long and weighing 0.290 N. The center of gravity of this beam is one-third of the way along the beam from the end where wire A is attached. If you pluck both strings at the same time at the beam, what is the time delay between the arrival of the two pulses at the ceiling? Which pulse arrives first? (Ignore the effect of the weight of the wires on the tension in the wires.)

- A microwave source produces pulses of 20.0GHz radiation, with each pulse lasting 1.00 ns. A parabolic reflector with a face area of radius 6.00 cm is used to focus the microwaves into a parallel beam of radiation as shown in Figure P34.60. The average power during each pulse is 25.0 kW. (a) What is the wavelength of these microwaves? (b) What is the total energy contained in each pulse? (c) Compute the average energy density inside each pulse. (d) Determine the amplitude of the electric and magnetic fields in these microwaves. (e) Assuming that this pulsed beam strikes an absorbing surface, compute the force exerted on the surface during the 1.00-ns duration of each pulse.

An alien civilization occupies a planet in a distant solar system. The planet is positioned so that the earth is either moving directly toward the planet, or directly away from the planet, as the earth orbits the sun. The aliens would like to eavesdrop on our cell phone conversations which use approximately 900 MHz signals. 18. Find the difference between the highest and lowest frequencies they receive (in units of kHz) due to the Earth's orbital motion around the Sun. The orbital speed of the Earth is approximately 2.98 x 10¹ m/s. (A) 231 (B) 448 (C) 397 (D) 179 (E) 483arrow_forwardHello, based on page 1 can you do ONLY question number 5 (on page 2)arrow_forward
