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.

From where do we get information or knowledge? Explain.
Tems11 [23]

Answer:

the explanations is down here,

Explanation:

Information

Data reaches a more complex level and becomes information by integrating them to a context. Information provides expertise about facts or persons. Example of information: The information about a date of birth still has very little value when it is unknown to which person it belongs. By adding more information like the name, the linked information creates knowledge about a person.

Knowledge

Knowledge thus describes the collected information that is available about a particular fact or a person. The knowledge of this situation makes it possible to make informed decisions and solve problems. Thus, knowledge influences the thinking and actions of people. Machines can also make decisions based on new knowledge generated by information. In order to gain knowledge, it is necessary to process information.

Help? Can you explain what this mean?

Death by PowerPoint simply refers to a phenomenon that's caused as a result of the poor use of a presentation software.

It should be noted that the phrase was coined by Angela Garber. It simply means when an individual uses the presentation software poorly.

The main contributors to death by PowerPoint include confusing graphics, slides that had too much text, etc. It's important to present one's work logically with good information.

If you've finished working with a data file but intend to work on it again during your work session, which button would you use
mariarad [96]
Hey there! Hello!

So, not sure if there's actually a button to "close out" a window to where you're able to reopen it again without having to go to where the file is located or go to recents in your application. Keep in mind that I'm on a MacBook, but I have worked on a Windows computer before. 

One thing you can do is minimize the window. Your program will remain open, but your window will remain out of your way until you decide to expand it again. This seems to be the closest thing possible to your description, but if you had something else in mind, I'd love to hear more details.

This won't be a good solution if you're looking to cut down on the energy that certain programs may be taking up while open, even if you're not using them. But in terms of getting the windows off your desktop, minimizing is the way to go. It also allows you to have documents/windows out of the way while still being able to work on other documents/windows in the program (i.e. Microsoft Word, Google Chrome, Pages, etc.)

Hope this helped you out! Feel free to ask me any additional questions you may have. :-)

last_months_price = int(input("Enter the last month's price: "))

print("This house is $" + str(current_price))

print("The change is $" + str(current_price - last_months_price) + " since last month")

print("The estimated monthly mortgage is ${:.2f}".format((current_price * 0.051) / 12))

Explanation:

Ask the user to enter the current price and last month's price

Print the current price

Print the change in the price, subtract the last month's price from the current price

Print the estimated monthly mortgage, use the given formula to calculate, in required format
