Final answer:
Without specific data on the Q53 radar's capabilities, it is not possible to provide an exact number of targets it can track per minute. However, advanced radar systems are capable of tracking multiple targets simultaneously, potentially hundreds to thousands per minute. Analogous to a pulsar emitting 100 pulses per second, a radar with this pulse rate could send out 6,000 pulses per minute.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question pertains to the capabilities of radar systems, specifically the Q53 radar, and relates to the physics of electromagnetism and signal processing. Although no explicit data is provided about the Q53 radar's target tracking rate per minute, we can discuss radar systems in general.
Radar systems work by emitting radio waves and detecting the reflections off of objects back to the radar source. The time it takes for the radio wave to return can be used to calculate the distance of the object from the radar. As for tracking targets, advanced radars are capable of tracking multiple targets simultaneously by quickly switching the direction of their beams or using phased array technology to electronically steer the beam without moving the antenna physically. Some high-speed radar systems are able to track hundreds or thousands of targets per minute.
The closest analogy provided in the reference information is a pulsar rotating 100 times per second and emitting two beams aligned with Earth. If this were a radar rotating at the same speed, it could send out 100 pulses per second. Therefore, in one minute, such a radar could potentially send out 6,000 pulses, assuming it emits one pulse per rotation and that there is no downtime for processing the returned signals.
