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

Squids are the fastest marine invertebrates, using a powerful set of muscles to take in and then eject water in a form of jet pr
tatuchka [14]

Answer:

0.25 m/s

Explanation:

This problem can be solved by using the law of conservation of momentum - the total momentum of the squid-water system must be conserved.

Initially, the squid and the water are at rest, so the total momentum is zero:

p_i = 0

After the squid ejects the water, the total momentum is

p_f = m_s v_s + m_w v_w

where

m_s = 1.60 kg is the mass of the squid

v_s is the velocity of the squid

m_2 = 0.115 kg is the mass of the water

v_w = 3.50 m/s is the velocity of the water

Due to the conservation of momentum,

p_i = p_f

so

0=m_s v_s + m_w v_w

so we can find the final velocity of the squid:

v_s = -\frac{m_w v_w}{m_s}=-\frac{(0.115 kg)(3.50 m/s)}{1.60 kg}=-0.25 m/s

and the negative sign means the direction is opposite to that of the water.

A whistle you use to call your hunting dog has a frequency of 21 kHz, but your dog is ignoring it. You suspect the whistle may n
jeka94
The whistle you use to call has a frequency of 21 kHz, so you do not recognize it also because your threshold of hearing is only 20 kHz. Since you are unable to hear sounds above this value, you request your friend to blow the whistle and move farther away. The frequency will decrease due to Doppler effect.

Why do rivers usually have water in them, even during a drought?
Kipish [7]
Well the case with the droughts is that the water supply comes from different places such as other smaller streams and also from underground rivers .Rivers cut into saturated ground is also another reason.

Assume that the pictured magnet is being moved into the solenoid. If the polarity of the magnet is reversed and then moved into
KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

The direction of induced emf is revered and hence the direction of the induced current.

Explanation:

If the polarity of the magnet is reversed, the direction if the field lines through the solenoid is also reversed, which according to Faraday's law means

\varepsilon  =N\dfrac{d\Phi}{dt} \rightarrow -N\dfrac{d\Phi}{dt}

in other words, the direction of the magnetic flux is revered, and therefore, the direction of the induced emf is also revered.

Furthermore, according to Ohm's law

I = \dfrac{\varepsilon}{R}

which tells us that if the induced emf changes sign <em>(is reversed)</em>

I = -\dfrac{\varepsilon}{R}

the direction of the induced current is also reversed.
