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

What effect do increasing amounts of greenhouse gases have on earth and the organisms that live here?
pickupchik [31]

Answer and Explanation:

The increasing amounts of greenhouse gases causes climate change and global warming, sea level rises and oceans become warmer.

When prolonged into the future and no actions are being taken; drastic droughts will happen which threatens agricultural in an extreme manner, wildlife living in the forests will be pressurized, and animals/organisms living in the ocean will be affected too due to rising temperature causing the reduced Oxygen effects.

The examples include: the melting of Arctic ice endangering the polar bears, fishes and aquatic marines will die at part of the oceans which has higher temperature (lack of oxygen), poorer regions will have adverse impacts on the human being due to agriculture deterioration and lack of proper system and social readiness to adapt to climate change.

To fight climate change, we must reduce carbon pollution (burning of coals which releases large carbon dioxide/monoxide etc.) through setting up of policies by multinational companies, greener business to reduce emissions, and help people to adapt to climate change or at least educate people about climate change.

6. A warehouse employee is pushing a 15.0 kg desk across a floor at a constant speed of 0.50 m/s. How much work must the employe
MariettaO [177]

Answer:

7.5 J

Explanation:

To answer the question given above, we need to determine the energy that will bring about the speed of 1 m/s. This can be obtained as follow:

Mass (m) = 15 Kg

Velocity (v) = 1 m/s

Energy (E) =?

E = ½mv²

E = ½ × 15 × 1²

E = ½ × 15 × 1

E = ½ × 15

E = 7.5 J

Therefore, to change the speed to 1 m/s, the employee must do a work of 7.5 J.
