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

What would be the answer for this and how?
Veronika [31]

Answer:

B. 6 cm

Explanation:

First, we calculate the spring constant of a single spring:

k = \frac{F}{\Delta x}\\

where,

k = spring constant of single spring = ?

F = Force Applied = 10 N

Δx = extension = 4 cm = 0.04 m

Therefore,

k = \frac{10\ N}{0.04\ m}\\k =  250\ N/m\\

Now, the equivalent resistance of two springs connected in parallel, as shown in the diagram, will be:

k_{eq} = k + k\\k_{eq} = 2k = 2(250\ N/m)\\k_{eq} = 500\ N/m\\

For a load of 30 N, applying Hooke's Law:

\Delta x = \frac{F}{k_{eq}}\\\\\Delta x = \frac{30\ N}{500\ N/m}\\\\\Delta x = 0.06\ m = 6\ cm\\

Hence, the correct option is:

<u>B. 6 cm</u>

Why is it important to understand forces?
yanalaym [24]
If people never learned forces, there would be a major gap in the world and how it works, let alone in physics...
as much as you don't wanna admit it, force is everywhere and you see it if not use it EVERY day in your life, something as simple as driving a car down the street or too school, your using force of your wheels to move your car, which is moving you

Identify the number of and types of elements in this schematic diagram
Nataly_w [17]
-- The long line and short line close together at the left side
       of the diagram represent a single-cell battery.
It's the only one in this diagram. 
It's a device that stores chemical energy and delivers it on demand.

-- The zig-zag lines with circles around them represent light bulbs.
There are three of them in this diagram. 
They are devices used to produce light by dissipating electrical energy.

-- The zig-zag lines without circles, at the top of the diagram,
       represent resistors.
There are two of them in this diagram.
They are devices used to change or control electrical parameters
   within a circuit by dissipating electrical energy.

-- The short straight line between two small circles at the bottom
       of the diagram  represents a switch.
There is only one switch in this circuit.
It's a device used to easily and quickly start or stop the flow of current
    past a certain point in a circuit.

In this circuit ...

-- When the switch is closed (as drawn), the light bulb nearest the battery
glows brightest, the light bulb in the middle glows less bright, and the light
bulb on the right side glows dimmest of all.

-- When the switch is open, the light bulb nearest the battery glows, and
neither of the other two light bulbs glows at all.
