Time taken for a message to sent from earth to reach the first astronauts is  140 second.

It takes about three days for a spacecraft to reach the Moon. in the course of that time a spacecraft travels at the least 240,000 miles 386,400 km that is the space between Earth and the Moon. The specific distance depends at the specific path selected.

The distance from earth to moon is approximately3.84*108m

So, the distance from earth to the astronauts is3.84*108m - 10500*103m =3.735*108m

The speed of light c = 2.99792458*108m/s

So, divided the distance from earth to astronauts by the speed off light,

3.735*108m/2.99792458*108m/s ˜1.25seconds

Divided the Pluto-earth distance by speed of light:

Hence, 4.2*1010m/2.99792458*108m/s = 140seconds

A running back with a mass of 70 kg travels down the field with a velocity of 5.0 m s . Calculate the kinetic energy of the foot
jarptica [38.1K]

K.E = 1/2 mv²

    =  1/2 (70kg) (5.0ms)²

    =  1 ˣ ( 1750) / 2

    = 875 kgms²

An equipoterntial surface that surrounds a + 3.0 pC point charge has a radius of 2.0 cm. What is the potential of this surface?​
mestny [16]

Answer:

Electric potential = 0.00054 V

Explanation:

We are given;

Charge; q = 3 pC = 3 × 10^(-12) C

Radius; r = 2 cm = 0.02 m

Formula for the electric potential of this surface will be;

V = kqr

Where;

K is a constant = 9 × 10^(9) N⋅m²/C².

Thus;

V = 9 × 10^(9) × 3 × 10^(-12) × 0.02

V = 0.00054 V
