You are planning a flight from Miami to norfolk virgina will be flying direct gps at 10500 and will be going through the contiguous us adiz do you have to file a dvfr or ifr flight plan?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

If you are flying directly from Miami to Norfolk, and you are planning to fly at 10,500 feet, you would typically file an IFR (Instrument Flight Rules) flight plan. This is because flying at that altitude would require you to adhere to air traffic control instructions and use onboard instruments for navigation. A DVFR (Defense Visual Flight Rules) flight plan would not be necessary in this scenario.

What is edge detection?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Edge detection generally applies to a square wave signal, such as a clock pulse or a trigger pulse. Then the edge detection comes from either using the rising voltage, or the falling voltage of the signal (usually a square wave) to trigger the next event. Using the falling voltage implies a delay in the signal and the rising pulse to trigger an immediate `step` in the circuit.

Can you use your satellite radio antenna for your gps?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

No, you can not use any satellite radio to connect to Sirius. The hardware for each (XM or Sirius) is designed specifically for one or the other. For Sirius, there is a code on the back of the radio that they need to activate the service. It is specific only to Sirius equipment.

How fast do a GPS satellites travel?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

This actually depends on the orbital radius, or distance from Earth's surface (or center). The further away the satellite is, the slower it travels to stay in orbit (related to Kepler's second law). A satellite that is really close to the atmosphere and barely in space needs to travel at about 7800m/s. A satellite can speed up and increase its tangential velocity to make its orbit bigger. A bigger orbit results in a lower speed. Interestingly, this means that an orbiter speeds up to slow down. Likewise, a satellite in a high orbit can fire its engines backwards to reduce its speed to get into a smaller, faster orbit, ultimately speeding up.

================================

In an orbit that's not a perfect circle, the speed in orbit is always changing.

The satellite moves faster when it's closer to the Earth, and slower when it's

farther out.

How the servo potentiometer works?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

A potentiometer is another name for a variable resister used for voltage dividing. Potentiometers have three tabs on them The two outer most tabs have the full resistance of the device across them. The center tab is connected to the wiper that slides across the surface of the resister. A voltage is applied to the two outside tabs on the potentiometer. A voltage of your choosing will appear across either the left tab to the center wiper tab or from the right tab and the center wiper tab. A potentiometer of this type is used to control the speed output of variable frequency drives. A 10K potentiometer has 10VDC applied across the two outside tabs If the drive sees the full 10 volts it allows the drive to go to full output and the motor will run at full speed. With the potentiometer's center tab wiper at half position a voltage of 5 VDC will appear to the drive. When the drive sees the 5 volts it tells the drive to go to half speed output and the motor will run at half speed. This potentiometer is linear so no matter where the wiper is positioned, the motor speed will follow the potentiometer settings from 1% right up to 100%
