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 does radar calculate speed of an auto?

Radar calculates the speed of an object by measuring the Doppler shift in the frequency of the transmitted and received radar signals. As the radar waves bounce off the moving object, the frequency of the returning signal is different from the transmitted frequency. By analyzing this frequency shift, the radar system can determine the speed of the object.


What do sciencetists to measure speed?

Scientists use various instruments to measure speed, such as radar guns, Doppler radar, and stopwatch. Radar guns emit radio waves to measure the speed of moving objects, while Doppler radar uses reflected signals to calculate speed. Stopwatches are used to measure the time it takes for an object to travel a known distance, allowing for the calculation of speed.


What instrument is use for measuring speed?

An instrument commonly used to measure speed is a radar gun, which uses radio waves to calculate the speed of an object in motion. Radar guns are often used by law enforcement to monitor vehicle speed on roads.


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.


How the bat speed is measured in cricket?

Bat speed in cricket is typically measured using specialized instruments like speed guns or radar guns. These devices calculate the speed at which the bat is moving when it makes contact with the ball. The faster the bat speed, the more power and force can be generated in the shot.


What equipment is used to measure speed?

Equipment commonly used to measure speed includes radar guns, lidar guns, and GPS devices. Radar guns emit radio waves to calculate the speed of an object, while lidar guns use laser technology. GPS devices can also be used to track and calculate speed based on satellite data.


What happens when radar beam hits an object?

When a radar beam hits an object, it gets reflected back towards the radar receiver. The time difference between sending the radar signal and receiving the reflected signal is used to calculate the distance of the object from the radar. The radar can also determine the object's speed and shape based on how the radar signal is reflected.


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 instrument helps you calculate the velocity of a human?

A radar gun is commonly used to measure the velocity of a moving human. It works by sending and receiving radar waves that bounce off the moving person and calculate their speed based on the Doppler effect.


How does it work radar?

Radar works by sending out radio waves that bounce off objects in its path. By measuring the time it takes for the waves to return, the radar determines the distance and speed of the object. This information is then used to track the object and calculate its location.


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!
