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.

What happenes to our body temperature on a cold winter day or a hot summer day
viva [34]

In cold winter day, the body temperature falls down from normal temperature of 98.6°F (37°C) to 95°F (35°C). In winter body losses heat faster than it generates heat. If the temperature fall further below 95°F (35°C), it is emergency condition known as Hypothermia. One has to consult doctor in this case.

In summer hot days, body evaporates water in the form of sweat, in order to remain itself cool. Rise of temperature up to 100°F is normal. It is recommended to hydrate body to maintain temperature in summer days.

A large box slides across a frictionless surface with a velocity of 12 m/s and a mass of 4
denpristay [2]
Answer= 8m/s

Because total Momentum before= total momentum after

Momentum before (p=mu)
p=(4)(12)= 48
p=2(0)=0
So total momentum before=48

Momentum after (p=mu)
Masses combined —2+4=6kg
p=6u


Mb=Ma
48=6u
u=8m/s

Elan Coil [88]
A) Geothermal
B) Hydroelectric
C)Biomass
D) Wind

I assume this is the four options you had, correct?

i think that biomass is the only one that would release the greenhouse gases. I once heard, it may not be true, that biomass has more co2 released than coal.
