Consider a civilization broadcasting a signal with a power of 1.2×104 watts. The Arecibo radio telescope, which is about 300 met

ers in diameter, could detect this signal if it is coming from as far away as 110 light-years. Suppose instead that the signal is being broadcast from the other side of the Milky Way Galaxy, about 70000 light-years away.

The same power (1.9×10^4 watts) gets diminished by Inverse square law 
<span>(ratio of distances)² </span>
<span>= (138/70000)² </span>
<span>= 3.886506 X 10^-6 . </span>
<span>This is the diminution factor for the given sensitivity of the telescope. But at 3.8865 millionth below the sensitivity its is far below detection; it needs to be enhanced by collecting the energy over an area so many times more (by an aperture multiplied by same factor) </span>
<span>1/[3.886506 X 10^-6] = 257298.88 </span>
<span>In other words the diameter should have the ratio of square root of this </span>
<span>(70000/138). </span>
<span>This multiplied by 300m dish gives </span>
<span>300 X (70000/138) = 152173.913 m = 152.1739 km. </span>
<span>This should be the aperture of the new telescope for detecting the signal.</span>

 Distance is a scalar quantity that refers to "how much ground an object has covered" during its motion.Displacement<span> is a vector quantity that refers to "how far out of place an object is"; it is the object's overall change in position.

</span>To calculate displacement<span>, simply draw a vector from your starting point to your final position and solve for the length of this line. If your starting and ending position are the same, like your circular 5K route, then your </span>displacement<span> is 0. In physics, </span>displacement<span> is represented by Δs.
 
 For me to solve this I would need to know the time, but I can give you a handy displacement calculator I used that helped me.

How much heat energy is required to raise the temperature of 0.368kg of copper from 23.0 ∘C to 60.0 ∘C? The specific heat of cop
Katarina [22]
The change in temperature here corresponds to a sensible heat. The amount of energy required can be calculated by multiplying the specific heat capacity, the amount of the substance and the corresponding change in temperature.

Heat required = mCΔT
Heat required = 0.368 kg (0.0920 cal/g°C) (60 - 23)°C
Heat required = 1.25 cal
