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

Most reactive non-metals in order?

kompoz [17]

Nonmetals often share or gain electrons. The nonmetals in the periodic table increases as you move to the right and decreases as you go down. This is because, the smaller the atom, the reactive it gets due to less electron attached to the orbits of the atom. The reactivity of nonmetals is arranged in decreasing order. 
Carbon
 Nitrogen
Oxygen
Fluorine
Phosphorus 
Sulfur
Chlorine

If a substance has a density of 2.7g/cm3 and a mass of 86.4g, what is its volume?

Gennadij [26K]

Answer:

32cm³

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Density of substance = 2.7g/cm³

Mass of substance = 86.4g

Unknown:

Volume of substance = ?

Solution:

Density is the mass per unit volume of a substance.

Density = $\frac{mass}{volume}$

Since the unknown is volume we solve for it;

mass = density x volume

86.4 = 2.7 x volume

volume = $\frac{86.4}{2.7}$ = 32cm³

What is the name of the force that is a combination of all forces that act on an object?

jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

If the combination of all the forces acting on an object sums upto be zero, then the net force is known as balanced force.

If the combination of all the forces acting on an object is non-zero, then the net force is said to be unbalanced force. The unbalanced force causes the object change the state of rest or motion.

Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

For real gas the volume of a given mass of gas will increase with increase in temperature.

Explanation:

With the piston head locked in place and place above the fire,the volume of the gas will increase,because the volume of a given mass of gas increases with increase temperature.
