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

Answer:

a) $F = 882.63\,N$ , b) $\dot W= 4413.15\,W$ , c) $\eta = 15.216\,\%$ .

Explanation:

a) Let assume that car travel on a horizontal surface. The equations of equilibrium of the car are:

$\Sigma F_{x} = F - \mu_{r}\cdot N = 0$

$\Sigma F_{y} = N - m\cdot g = 0$

After some algebraic handling, the following expression for the propulsion force is constructed:

$F = \mu_{r}\cdot m \cdot g$

$F = (0.06)\cdot (1500\,kg)\cdot (9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} )$

$F = 882.63\,N$

b) The power require to move the car at a speed of 5 meters per second is:

$\dot W = F\cdot v$

$\dot W = (882.63\,N)\cdot (5\,\frac{m}{s} )$

$\dot W= 4413.15\,W$

c) The efficiency of the car is:

$\eta = \frac{(882.63\,N)\cdot (15\,mi)\cdot (\frac{1609\,m}{1\,mi} )}{(1.4\times 10^{8}\,J)} \times 100\,\%$

$\eta = 15.216\,\%$

It depends on the circuit. Sometimes it becomes a bit weaker, sometimes it stays the same.

Scorpion4ik [409]

Imagine you were able to throw a ball in a frictionless environment
such as outer space. Once you let go of the ball, it will travel forever
in a straight line, and at a constant speed. (At least until it bumps into
something.)

A car accelerates down the road. The reaction to the tires pushing
on the road is the road pushing on the tires.
