Answer:

t= 8.7*10⁻⁴ sec.

Explanation:

If the signal were able to traverse this distance at an infinite speed, the propagation delay would be zero.

As this is not possible, (the maximum speed of interactions in the universe is equal to the speed of light), there will be a finite propagation delay.

Assuming that the signal propagates at a constant speed, which is equal to 2.3*10⁸ m/s (due to the characteristics of the cable, it is not the same as if it were propagating in vaccum, at 3.0*10⁸ m/s), the time taken to the signal to traverse the 200 km, which is equal to the propagation delay, can be found applying the average velocity definition:

v = \frac{(xf-xo)}{(t-to)}

If we choose x₀ = 0 and t₀ =0, and replace v= 2.3*10⁸ m/s, and xf=2*10⁵ m, we can solve for t:

t =\frac{xf}{v}  =\frac{2e5 m}{2.3e8 m/s} =8.7e-4 sec.

⇒ t = 8.7*10⁻⁴ sec.

Write a function NumberOfPennies() that returns the total number of pennies given a number of dollars and (optionally) a number
Over [174]

Answer:

Following are the code to the given question:

#include <iostream>//header file  

using namespace std;

int NumberOfPennies(int ND, int NP=0)//defining a method that accepts two parameters  

{

return (ND*100 +NP);//use return keyword that fist multiply by 100 then add the value  

}

int main() //main method

{

cout << NumberOfPennies(5,6) << endl; // Should print 506

cout << NumberOfPennies(4) << endl; // Should print 400

return 0;

}

Output:

506

400

Explanation:

In the method "NumberOfPennies" it accepts two parameters that are "ND and NP" that uses the return keyword that multiply 100 in ND variable and add in NP variable and return its values.

In the main method it it uses the cout method that call the by accepts value in parameter and print its value.
