Physics

galina1969 [7]3 years ago
7 0
We know that the source of light in the universe is the Sun. Hence, the light we see as moonlight travels from the Sun's surface, to the moon, then to Earth. So, before being able to solve this problem, we have to know the distance between the Sun and the moon, and the distance between the moon and Earth. In literature, these values are 3.8×10⁵ km (Sun to moon) and 384,400 km (moon to Earth). Knowing that the speed of light is 300,000 km per second, then the total time would be

Time = distance/speed
Time = (3.8×10⁵ km + 384,400 km)/300,000 km/s
Time = 2.548 seconds

Thus, it only takes 2.548 for the light from the Sun to reach to the Earth as perceived to be what we call moonlight.

Under favorable circumstances, including reaction time, a motor vehicle with good brakes going 50 miles per hour can be stopped
aleksklad [387]

Answer:

about 229 feet.

Explanation:

According to my research on the information provided by the drivers educational book, It is said that a motor vehicle with good brakes that is going at 50 miles per hour can be stopped within about 229 feet. This is dependent 100% on having good brakes as well as there being normal driving conditions (on pavement with no rain or other weather that may affect driving conditions).

I hope this answered your question. If you have any more questions feel free to ask away at Brainly.
