Static interference on radios may be due to the destructive interference of radio waves at the same frequency arriving at the receiver after traveling different distances. Suppose a radio wave with a wavelength of 1000 m travels two different paths from a radio tower located 20 km away. The first path is the most direct path. The second path is a result from the wave reflecting off of an airplane at an unknown altitude above a point that is exactly halfway between the tower and receiver. Assume there is no phase change when the wave reflects off the airplane. a. What is the speed and frequency of the radio waves? b. What is the minimum possible distance that the reflected wave has traveled? c. What is the time difference between arrivals at the receiver for the two destructively interfering waves? d. What is the altitude of the airplane (ignore curvature of Earth)? e. Reconsider the initial assumption. Let there be a 180 degree phase change in the wave reflecting off of the airplane. Does the airplane have a higher or lower altitude than what was calculated in part d? Why?

An electron and a proton have the same kinetic energy upon entering a region of constant magnetic field and their velocity vectors are perpendicular to the magnetic field. suppose the magnetic field is strong enough to allow the particles to circle in the field. note: you'll need to look up the masses for an electron and proton. 1) what is the ratio of the radii of their circular paths rp/re?

Acaterpillar tries to climb straight up a wall a meter high, but for every 2 cm up it climbs, it slides down 1 cm. eventually, it reaches the top. when it reaches the top, it does not pull itself over so it will slide down 1 cm. what is the total displacement traveled?

Asolid cylinder and a cylindrical shell have the same mass, same radius, and turn on frictionless, horizontal axles. the cylindrical shell has light-weight spokes connecting the shell to the axle. a rope is wrapped around each cylinder and tied to blocks of equal masses that are held the same height above the ground. both blocks are released simultaneously. the ropes do not slip. which block hits the ground first? or is it a tie?
