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

In being served, a tennis ball is accelerated from rest to a speed of 31.6 m/s. The average power generated during the serve is

joja [24]

Answer:

The force acting on the ball is 92.4 N.

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial speed of the ball, u = 0

Final speed of the ball, v = 31.6 m/s

The average power generated during the serve is 2920 W. Power generated by an object is given by :

$P=\dfrac{W}{t}$

W is the work done, W = Fd

$P=\dfrac{Fd}{t}$

Since, $v=\dfrac{d}{t}$

So,

$P=F\times v$

F is the force acting on the ball

$F=\dfrac{P}{v}\\\\F=\dfrac{2920\ W}{31.6\ m/s}\\\\F = 92.4\ N$

So, the force acting on the ball is 92.4 N. Hence, this is the required solution.

What is the current in a 160V circuit if the resistance is 2Ω? V= I= R =

sveta [45]

Answer:

80 amperes

Explanation:

Current in the circuit = ?

Voltage in the circuit = 160 Volts

Resistance = 2 Ω

Voltage = Current x Resistance

V = IR

160V = I x 2 Ω

I = 160V / 2 Ω

I = 80 Amperes

Therefore the current in the circuit is 80 amperes :)
