Answer:

(a) 5 hours 20 min

(b)I would have a great inconvenience with the delay of the signal

Explanation:

Hello

To find the time it takes for light to reach Earth from Pluto, we use a rule of three

Step 1

define

distance from sun to earth=x

distance from pluto to earth=40x

Step 2

Rule of three

distance    time

x       ⇒   8 minutes

40x   ⇒   A minutes    

A=\frac{40x*8*min}{x}\\ A=320 min\\\\to\ convert\ to\ hours\\\\A=320\ min*\frac{1 h}{60 mi}\\ A=5.33 hours\\\\A=5\ hours\ and\ 20min\\\\

(a) 5 hours 20 min

Step 3

I would have a great inconvenience with the delay of the signal, since the message I send will arrive 5 hours and 20 minutes later, if the message is answered immediately I will listen to it 320 min after that, more than ten and a half hours to give and receive a hello

A power lifter performs a dead lift, raising a barbell with a mass of 305 kg to a height of 0.42 m above the ground, giving the
Ann [662]

Answer:

Explanation:

Before it hits the ground:

The initial potential energy = the final potential energy + the kinetic energy

mgH = mgh + 1/2 mv²

gH = gh + 1/2 v²

v = √(2g (H - h))

v = √(2 * 9.81 m/s² * (0.42 m - 0.21 m))

v ≈ 2.0 m/s

When it hits the ground:

Initial potential energy = final kinetic energy

mgH = 1/2 mv²

v = √(2gH)

v = √(2 * 9.81 m/s² * 0.42 m)

v ≈ 2.9 m/s

Using a kinematic equation to check our answer:

v² = v₀² + 2a(x - x₀)

v² = (0 m/s)² + 2(9.8 m/s²)(0.42 m)

v ≈ 2.9 m/s

A kayaker moves 22 meters northward, then 18 meters southward , and finally 24 meters northward what is the distance and magnitu
Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

Distance = 64 metres

Displacement = 28 metres

Direction = northward

Explanation:

Given that a  kayaker moves 22 meters northward, then 18 meters southward , and finally 24 meters northward

Distance covered is only about the magnitude of the length covered.

Distance = 22 + 18 + 24 = 64 metres

The direction will be considered when calculating the displacement

Let northward be positive and southward be negative

Displacement = 22 - 18 + 24 = 28 metres

Since the displacement is positive, the direction of the motion is northward.

A plant cell is no longer capable of capturing energy from sunlight and converting it into chemical energy. Which organelle is m
Nadya [2.5K]

The chloroplast of the cell is most likely damaged if the plant cell is no longer capable of capturing energy from sunlight and converting it into chemical energy.

The chloroplast is the structure inside the leaf cell that is known for capturing light energy from the sun.

This light energy is then used to make food that has chemical energy. If a plant cell has a damaged chloroplast or the chloroplast is removed, then it will no longer be able to trap the light energy. As a result, the process of photosynthesis will not occur in the plant cell. The plant cell will not be able to make the chemical energy required for functioning.

A helium-filled balloon occupies a volume of 15 cubic meters at sea level. the balloon is released and raises to a point in the
Elena L [17]

According to Boyle’s law, For a fixed amount of an ideal gas kept at a fixed temperature, P (pressure) and V (volume) are inversely proportional.

Therefore,

P_{1} V_{1} =P_{2} V_{2}

Given P_{1} = 1 atm , V_{1} = 15 \ cubic \ meter and P_{2} = 0.75\ atm.

Thus,

V_{2} = \frac{P_{1}\times V_{1}  }{ P_{2} } = \frac{1\times 15}{0.75} =20 m^3

What is the purpose of an experiment design?
Eddi Din [679]
An experimental design is used to assign variables for testing. In contrast to a control design where nothing is changed, the experimental design allows you to test various new inputs to see how they would vary from the original results.
