Conversations with astronauts on the lunar surface were characterized by a kind of echo in which the earthbound person’s voice w

as so loud in the astronaut’s space helmet that it was picked up by the astronaut’s microphone and transmitted back to Earth. It is reasonable to assume that the echo time equals the time necessary for the radio wave to travel from the Earth to the Moon and back (that is, neglecting any time delays in the electronic equipment). Calculate the distance from Earth to the Moon given that the echo time was 2.56 s and that radio waves travel at the speed of light (3.00×108 m/s) .

Answer:

3.85*10^8m

Explanation:

We know that

Speed v = distance/time t

So distance = v x t

So = 3*10^8 x 2.56s

= distatance = 7.7*10^8m

However this is double the distance from the earth to the moon, so to get distance from earth to the moon we divide by 2

7.7*10^8/2= 3.85*10^8m

zvonat [6]

Answer:

Switches in mains circuits should always be included in the live wire so that when the switch is open no electrical energy can reach an appliance. If the switch is included in the neutral wire, electrical energy can still enter an appliance, and could possibly cause an electric shock (Figure 7.10).

__________________________ are made of rock or metal, which often collide with Earth
konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

Planets are bodies of rock or gas that are named after ancient gods.

Asteroids and Meteoroids are made of rock or metal, which often collide with Earth.

The terrestrial planets are more like the Earth.

The Juno spacecraft is exploring the planet Jupiter.

Explanation:

The planets and other stars in our solar system were similarly baptized. The planets were named after ancient gods. Other stars were baptized with names chosen by scientists or according to their peculiarity. Most of the planets were baptized by ancient Chinese astronomers, and later, by Babylonians. But over time different civilizations changed the names of the planets.

An asteroid is a smaller body in the solar system, usually on the order of just a few hundred kilometers. Meteoroids, in turn, are fragments of rocks that form from comets and asteroids. The luminous effect is produced when fragments of celestial bodies ignite in contact with the Earth's atmosphere due to friction. Both asteroids and meteoroids are made of rock or metal, which often collide with Earth.

The terrestrial planets are the most similar to the earth. These planets are those formed mainly by rocks and metals, have a solid surface without the incidence of rings, as is the case with Mercury, Venus and Mars.

The Juno spacecraft is exploring the planet Jupiter. This probe has already given us several unprecedented discoveries about the largest gas giant in the Solar System, in addition to sending us sensational images showing the complex and beautiful atmosphere of the planet.

MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

μk = (Vf - Vc)/(T×g)

Explanation:

Given

Vi = initial velocity of the car

Vf = final velocity of the car

T = Time of application of brakes

g = acceleration due to gravity (known constant)

Let the mass of the car be Mc

Assuming only kinetic frictional force acts on the car as the driver applies the brakes,

The n from Newtown's second law of motion.

Fk = Mc×a

Fk = μk×Mc×g

a = (Vf - Vc)/T

Equating both preceding equation.

μk×Mc×g = Mc × (Vf - Vc)/T

Mc cancels out.

μk = (Vf - Vc)/(T×g)
