Answer:

Should not believe her because the time taken is too short.

Explanation:

Time taken for echo to reach Earth = 48 min

Time taken by radio wave to reach Jupiter = 24 min

Distance between Earth and Jupiter when closest = 588 million kilometers = 588×10⁹ m

Distance between Earth and Jupiter when farthest = 968 million kilometers = 968×10⁹ m

Speed of radio wave = Speed of light = 3×10⁸ m/s

Distance = Velocity × Time

⇒Distance = 3×10⁸×24×60

⇒Distance = 432×10⁹ m

Which does not fall under the range of distance of Jupiter. So, I should not believe her.

5. How much time does it take for a bird flying at a speed of 45 kilometers per hour to travel a
Lyrx [107]

Answer:

40h

Explanation:

Use the velocity formula to solve

v = \frac{d}{t}

In this question, you are given velocity v = 45km/h, and you are given a distance, d = 1800km.  Time in this question is what you'll need to find.

Start by rearranging the velocity formula, to isolate for t.

v = \frac{d}{t}

Start by multiplying both sides by t

v(t) = \frac{d}{t}(t)\\\\vt = d

Then divide both sides by v.

vt\frac{1}{v} = d/v\\ \\t = \frac{d}{v}

Now that you've isolated for time, sub in your values and calculate.

t = \frac{d}{v} = \frac{1800km}{45km/h} = 40 h

Why does a gymnast rub powder on his hands before exercising on a set of parallel bars? (I need a scientific answer)
dlinn [17]

<u>Answer</u>

To increase friction for a better grip.

<u>Answer</u>

Most human beings do sweat hands especially on the palm. When this happens the person will not have a good grip of heavy objects because they will slide/slip from the hand.

<em>By applying the powder, you are trying to make the hand dry hence increasing the friction for a better grip. </em>

If the gymnast doesn't do this the parallel bars may slip from the hands and injure himself or herself.
