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

Can the velocity of a body revese the direction when acceleration is constant?
TEA [102]

Answer:

Yes, the velocity of the object can reverse direction when its acceleration is constant. For example consider that the velocity of any object at any time t is given as: ... At At t = 0 sec, the magnitude of velocity is 2m/s and is moving in the forward direction i.e.v (t) = -2.
