A new kind of radar has been developed for spaceship travelers. A working laboratory model of a new system of radar that makes use of a beam of light is said to be ten thousand times more accurate than the best comparable system of radar that uses microwaves.
The model has shown that this radar system, known as laser-dopple radar, can measure with absolute precision speeds varying from spaceship orbital injection(进入)velocities(速度)of five miles per second down to virtual stops-speeds of less than one-thousandth of an inch per seconD.According to the scientists who are developing this system, such fine measures of velocity are of prime importance in space missions. In a rendezvous(对接) between two spaceships, or in a landing approach by a vehicle onto an orbiting space station, a bump could rip open a ship's skin, or a nudge could knock the station out of its orbit.
The light-beam radar, which operates at a frequency of trillions of cycles(百万兆) per second, could easily detect and measure the movement of a vehicle edging up to a satellite space station. A control system using so precise a signal as this would allow a huge vehicle to dock at a space station as lightly as a feather.

未分类题The difference between a liquid and a gas is obvious under the conditions of temperature and pressure commonly found at the surface of the Earth. A liquid can be kept in an open container and fill it to the level of a free surfacE.A gas forms no free surface but tends to diffuse(扩散)throughout the space available; it must therefore be kept in a closed container or held by a gravitational field, as in the case of a planet's atmospherE.The distinction was a prominent feature of early theories describing the phases of matter. In the nineteenth century, for example, one theory maintained that a liquid could be' dissolved' in a vapor without losing its identity, and another theory that held the two phases are made up of different kinds of molecules. liquids and gases. The theories now prevailing take a quite different approach by emphasizing what liquids and gases have in common. They are both forms of matter that have no permanent structure, and they both flow readily. They are fluids.The fundamental similarity of liquids and gases becomes clearly apparent when the temperature and pressure are raised somewhat. Suppose a closed container partially filled with a liquid is heateD.The liquid expands, or in other words becomes less dense; some of it evaporates. In contrast, the vapor above the liquid surface becomes denser as the evaporated molecules are added to it. The combination of temperature and press at which the densities become equal is called the critical point. Above the critical point the liquid and the gas can no longer be distinguished; there is a single, undifferentiated fluid phase of uniform. density.Which of the following would be the most appropriate title for the passage?A.The Properities of Gases and Liquids.B.What Fluids and Gases Are Made oF.C.New Uses for the Gas and the LiquiD.D.New Theories about Fluids and Gases.
