If you can observe, we are only given one parameter here which is the time. If you want to compute for the distance, you have to know the speed. The hint here is the 'radio transmissions'. All the information gathered by the probe from the space, is sent back to the Earth by electromagnetic waves. Hence, we must know the speed of electromagnetic waves. Since they are as fast as light, their speed is equal to 300 million meters per second. Then, we can finally determine the distance.

d = speed*time
d = (300×10⁶ m/s)(2.53 hours)

Since 1 hour = 3,600 seconds,

d = (300×10⁶ m/s)(2.53 hours)(3,600 seconds/1 hour)
d = 2.73×10⁻¹² m

Answer the following in 1-2 complete sentences:
mojhsa [17]

Answer:

The graph with a more steeper slope

Explanation:

If the x axis represented time and the y axis represented speed the steeper the slope the more faster something was moving in a shorter amount of time. On the other hand a less steeper slope means an object is gradually picking up speed in a longer amount of time thus makeing it slower

bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

F = 10.8N

Explanation:

Given the mass m = 0.4kg, v1 = 25m/s, v2 = 12m/s and t =0.5s

From Newtown's second law of motion the average force can be found. This law states that the product of the force experienced by a body and the time t of the force acting on the body is equal to the change in momentum of the body. Mathematically it can be stated as follows

F×t = m(v2 – v1)

F = m(v2 – v1)/t = 0.4(25 – 12)/0.5 = 10.8N

Which reaction below represents a balanced, combustion chemical reaction?
ANEK [815]
I believe the correct answer would be <span>C2H5OH + 3O2 → 2CO2 + 3H2O . A combustion reaction is one that reacts with oxygen and produces carbon dioxide and water. As you can see, option A falls into that category and is a balanced reaction.</span>
