What did the radar do?
radar sends electromagnetic waves and it is reflected back by the object such as a plane or a sub and based on the analysis of time and speed of wave we get the position of object. for an example of radar they used radar before pearl harbor and saw many planes, the radar operatiors thought it was a squadron of b-29's returning to base but it ended up being the empire of japan's zero's (type of lightly armored plane that sacrificed armor for speed,agility,and a better service ceiling (how high a plane can go))
What is the difference between radar identification and radar contact?
Radar identified refers to your aircraft's position presented on a ground based radar screen and by using a squawk code in the aircraft which corresponds to the ground based station your aircraft is then identified. Radar control refers to an aircraft already identified on the radar screen and flying in controlled airspace under an IFR flight plan and the ground based station would provide heading, speed and altitude you should fly at.
Give 5 differences between radar and sonar?
SONAR stands for Sound Detection and ranging, and RADAR stands for Radio Aid to Detection and Ranging. as described below (by richard), the principle is simple. Point a signal source in one direction, Listen for the echo to return, and time how long the return signal took, Divide it in two, and with some math, and knowing the speed of the wave, work out how far away the object is. Now if you make the sender/receiver directional. you can move it left and right, and see how wide the object is. If you can rotate it 360 degrees, you get a map of what is arround you. (Gavin)BY sending out a hi frequency pulse to an aircraft and detecting the timing for the return it can be calculate the speed and direction basically location of an aircraft. Sonar has the same principle applied timing of a response return PING to detect the location.Radar is a system that uses radio electromagnetic waves to provide a range to a target normal in air or a vacuum. RADAR propagates its radio waves at the speed of light. Sonar uses sound and propagates in pressure wave through water and the speed of sound. And provides a range to a target in a similar way, just at slow speed.
Can radar detect?
Doppler radar is used to measure speed, not temperature.
What do radar engineers make?
A radar engineer works with radar. They have design, develop, install, and test a radar.
How do you calculate a horse's speed?
Radar gun.
What does radar do?
Radar sends out a radio wave and measures the reflected radio wave using it to calculate a target's speed, shape, material the object is made of, and direction of movement.
What are the functions of a radar?
To detect, track, and sometimes identify objects via the emission of radio waves. Speed radar (like those used by police) can detect nearby objects and calculate their speed. Weather radar can detect the location of clouds and rain. Air traffic radar can detect and track unidentified flying objects. With the help a monopulse secondary surveillance radar, the radar system can identify the individual planes. Higher technology radars can detect and identify distant small objects with great precision.
What is a speed pulser?
I believe it is like a radar gun (used by the police to clock your speed), but emits soundwave pulses to calculate the speed of a moving motor vehicle. Someone correct me if I'm wrong!
What's the difference between a Radar Detector and a Radar Jammer?
A radar detector can passively indicate the presence of speed detecting equipment. A radar jammer actively disrupts speed detecting equipment.
When was RADAR first used to clock pitching speed?
RADAR was first used to clock pitching speed in 1972. Earl Weaver was the first person to use the RADAR gun to determine speed in baseball.
How the bat speed is measured in cricket?
By Speed Radar !!
Which radar is used to measure the speed of vehicles?
A radar gun measures speed of a moving object basically cops use them
Police radar and laser guns are an application of what?
2 different things. Police Radar uses the Doppler Effect to calculate a speed. Police Laser uses the Time/Distance effect. Look them up, too long to explain here.
How do speed cameras detect the speed of a vechile?
They use radar.
What measures momentum?
As in speed-a radar
What instrument is used for speed?
radar
