The time taken by the light reflected from sun to reach on earth will be 8.4 minutes.

To find the answer, we need to know about the distance travelled by light.

<h3>How to find the time taken by the light reflected from sun to reach on earth?</h3>
  • So, in order to solve this problem, we must first know how far the moon is from Earth and how far the Sun is from the moon.
  • These distances are given as 3.8×10^5 km (Earth-Moon) and 1.5×10^8 km (Sun- Earth).
  • Since the Moon and Sun are on opposite sides of Earth during a full moon, the light's distance traveled equals,

         d=(1.5*10^8km)+2(3.8*10^5km)=1.51*10^8km=1.51*10^{11}m

  • As we know that light travels at a speed of 300,000 km per second. then, the time taken by the light reflected from sun to reach on earth will be,

                      t=\frac{1.51*10^{11}}{3*10^8}=503.33 s\\t=\frac{503.33}{60}=8.4min

Thus, the time it takes for the light from the Sun to reach Earth and be recognized as 8.4 minutes.

ira [324]
According to Newton's 2nd law of motion:
F = m * a where F is the force applied in Newtons, m is the mass of the object in kg, and a is the acceleration of the object in m/s^{2}.
Therefore the force applied in this situation is simply:
F = 6 kg * 2.3 m/s^{2} = 13.8 N
