2.91) A park ranger with a tranquilizer dart gun intends to shoot a monkey hanging from a branch. The ranger points the barrel directly at the monkey, not realizing that the dart will follow a parabolic path that will pass below the present position of the creature. The monkey, seeing the gun discharge, immediately lets go of the branch and drops out of the tree, expecting to avoid the dart. (a) Show that the monkey will be hit regardless of the initial speed of the dart as long as this speed is great enough for the dart to travel the horizontal distance to the tree. Assume the reaction time of the monkey is negligible. (b) Let ~vd0 be the initial velocity of the dart relative to the monkey. Find the velocity of the dart relative to the monkey at an arbitrary time t during the dart’s flight.

electromagnetic shielding is the practice of reducing the electromagnetic field in a space by blocking the field with barriers made of conductive or magnetic materials. shielding is typically applied to enclosures to isolate electrical devices from their surroundings, and to cables to isolate wires from the environment through which the cable runs. electromagnetic shielding that blocks radio frequency electromagnetic radiation is also known as rf shielding.

the shielding can reduce the coupling of radio waves, electromagnetic fields and electrostatic fields. a conductive enclosure used to block electrostatic fields is also known as a faraday cage. the amount of reduction depends very much upon the material used, its thickness, the size of the shielded volume and the frequency of the fields of interest and the size, shape and orientation of apertures in a shield to an incident electromagnetic
