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

Len [333]

The process of digestion breaks down proteins into smaller molecules that are used to rebuild other proteins. During digestion, proteins undergo chemical changes.

<u>Option: D</u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

Proteins are broken down into amino acids considered the foundational element. When issued, these tiny molecules can then be consumed into the bloodstream via the gut wall. An enzyme is a protein which can regulate biochemical response rate. An enzyme integrates a water molecule around the bond in enzymatic hydrolysis processes which allows it to split.

The bonds which hold together the amino acids are recognized as peptide bonds. A hydrolysis process comparable to that included in splitting up carbohydrates is required to break the peptide bonds within a protein. Enzymes identified as proteases are required for the protein to disintegrate.

Which mystery primate is a biped? list the characteristics you choose to justify your answer
Vadim26 [7]

Primate B mystery primate is a biped.

The characteristics are:

  1. The vast majority of primates live in trees (Notable exceptions are humans and gorillas).
  2. The majority of primates have upright upper bodies and occasionally walk on two feet (Humans are erect and always exhibit bipedalism).
  3. All primates have smaller noses and matching olfactory brain regions (except Lemurs).
  4. Compared to other mammals, primates have enormous brains for their size. Stereoscopic vision, hand-eye coordination, and manual dexterity are all governed by the brain's enlarged regions.
  5. Considering the size of the animal, long gestations
  6. Primate sociality is rather high in general.
  7. The majority of primates are nocturnal.
  8. The highly enjoyable action of grooming is shared by all highly evolved primates, including humans.
<h3>Primate </h3>

Lemurs, lorises, tarsiers, monkeys, apes, and humans are all included in the biological order called primates. Class Mammalian of the phylum Vertebrate includes creatures with qualities that have evolved recently in the taxonomic classification of the animal kingdom. 19 subtaxa known as orders have been added to the Mammalia classification. Primates are one of such groups, which contains eutherian animals like monkeys and apes. As a result, during a period of 30 million years, new world and old world monkeys underwent different adaptive radiations and were reproductively isolated. The Oligocene epoch saw the evolution of prosimians. About 30 million years ago, all currently extant primates underwent evolution.

A 512Hz tuning fork is used with a resonating column to determine the velocity of sound in water. If the spacing between resonan
EastWind [94]

Answer:

v= 1495.04 m/s

Explanation:

The formula for velocity of sound is given by ;

v= fλ   --------where

v= velocity of sound

f= frequency of turning fork

λ = wavelength

However,

Δ L = 1/2 λ   ------where Δ L is spacing between resonances.

1.46 = 1/2 λ

1.46 * 2 = λ

2.92 m = λ

v= fλ

v= 512 * 2.92

v= 1495.04 m/s

A thin layer of oil of refractive index 1.22 is spread on the surface of water (n = 1.33), If the thickness of the oil is 275 nm
ANTONII [103]

Answer:

6.71×10⁻⁷ m

Explanation:

Using thin film constructive interference formula as:

<u>2×n×t = m×λ</u>

Where,

n is the refractive index of the refracted surface

t is the thickness of the surface

λ is the wavelength

If m =1

Then,

2×n×t = λ

Given that refractive index pf the oil is 1.22

Thickness of the oil = 275 nm

Also, 1 nm = 10⁻⁹ m

Thickness = 275×10⁻⁹ m

So,

Wavelength is :

<u>λ= 2×n×t = 2× 1.22 × 275×10⁻⁹ m = 6.71×10⁻⁷ m</u>
