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

A ball rolls forward in the grass slowing down as it rolls?
olga nikolaevna [1]

Yes it does, uh huh.  It slows down as it rolls.  That's a fact.

In order for the ball to roll forward, it has to push grass out of the way.  That takes energy.  To bend each blade of grass out of its way, the ball has to use a tiny bit of the kinetic energy that it has, so it gradually runs out of kinetic energy.  When its kinetic energy is all gone, it stops moving.

The speed of a moving bullet can be deter-
Bad White [126]

Answer:

<em>v = 381 m/s</em>

Explanation:

<u>Linear Speed</u>

The linear speed of the bullet is calculated by the formula:

\displaystyle v=\frac{x}{t}

Where:

x = Distance traveled

t = Time needed to travel x

We are given the distance the bullet travels x=61 cm = 0.61 m. We need to determine the time the bullet took to make the holes between the two disks.

The formula for the angular speed of a rotating object is:

\displaystyle \omega=\frac{\theta}{t}

Where θ is the angular displacement and t is the time. Solving for t:

\displaystyle t=\frac{\theta}{\omega}

The angular displacement is θ=14°. Converting to radians:

\theta=14*\pi/180=0.2443\ rad

The angular speed is w=1436 rev/min. Converting to rad/s:

\omega = 1436*2\pi/60=150.3776\ rad/s

Thus the time is:

\displaystyle t=\frac{0.2443\ rad}{150.3776\ rad/s}

t = 0.0016 s

Thus the speed of the bullet is:

\displaystyle v=\frac{0.61}{0.0016}

v = 381 m/s
