The motion of the light is a uniform motion with constant speed v=3 \cdot 10^5 km/s, therefore we can use the basic relationship between speed, space and time:
v= \frac{S}{t} (1)
where S is the distance covered and t is the time taken. The light takes t=1.3 s to travel from the moon to Earth, therefore by rearranging eq.(1) we can find the distance between the Moon and the Earth:
S=vt=(3 \cdot 10^5 km/s)(1.3 s)=390000 km=3.9 \cdot 10^5 km

the velocity of a car traveling in the positive direction decreases from 32 m/s to 24 m/s in 4 seconds. what is the average acce
anastassius [24]

Answer:

a=-2m/sec^2

Negative sign shows that velocity of the car is decreases at a constant rate

Explanation:

We have given velocity of the car is decreases from 32 m /sec to 24 m/sec in 4 second

So initial velocity of the car u = 32 m /sec

And finally car reaches to a velocity of 24 m/sec

Time taken to change in velocity = 4 sec

So final velocity v = 24 m/sec

From first equation of motion v = u+at

So 24=32+a\times 4

a=-2m/sec^2

Negative sign shows that velocity of the car is decreases at a constant rate
