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.

Ksju [112]

Answer:

A. The project's energy costs will decrease

Explanation:

Since the project is located in an area with a demand-response program and on a site that has enough room for a wind-turbine to allow for on-site renewable energy.

Hence, the project's energy costs will decrease very well because it's implementing both of these strategies;

- Area with demand-response program.

- On-site renewable energy.

The suspension cable of a 1,000 kg elevator snaps, sending the elevator moving downward through its shaft. The emergency brakes
tester [92]

Answer:

option (E) 1,000,000 J

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of the suspension cable, m = 1,000 kg

Distance, h = 100 m

Now,

from the work energy theorem

Work done by the gravity = Work done by brake

or

mgh = Work done by brake

where, g is the acceleration due to the gravity = 10 m/s²

or

Work done by brake  = 1000 × 10 × 100

or

Work done by brake = 1,000,000 J

this work done is the release of heat in the brakes

Hence, the correct answer is option (E) 1,000,000 J

denis-greek [22]

Answer:

  v = 54.2 m / s

Explanation:

Let's use energy conservation for this problem.

Starting point Higher

         Em₀ = U = m g h

Final point. Lower

        Em_{f} = K = ½ m v²

        Em₀ = Em_{f}

        m g h = ½ m v²

         v² = 2gh

         v = √ 2gh

Let's calculate

         v = √ (2 9.8 150)

         v = 54.2 m / s

Bogdan [553]
A rotating disc supplied with constant power where the relationship of the angular velocity of the disc and the number of rotations made by the disc is governed by Newton's second law for rotation. This law is specially made for rotating bodies which is extracted from Newton's second law of motion.
