When the Voyager I and Voyager II spacecraft were exploring the outer planets, NASA flight controllers had to plan the crafts' m

oves well in advance. How many seconds elapse between the time a command is sent from Earth and the time the command is received by Voyager at Neptune? Assume the distance from Earth to Neptune is 4.76E+12 m.

Answer:

1.59*10^4 s

Explanation:

The signals sent from the earth, travel at the speed of light, therefore the travel time of the signal between the earth and neptune, can be calculated with the following equation, which relates time, speed and distance:

t=\frac{x}{v}\\t=\frac{4.76*10^{12} m}{3*10^8 m/s}=1.59*10^4 s\\

The time elapsed is approximately 4.41 hours

What do you know about nuclear energy?​
aev [14]

Answer:

Nuclear energy comes from splitting atoms in a reactor to heat water into steam, turn a turbine and generate electricity. Ninety-three nuclear reactors in 28 states generate nearly 20 percent of the nation's electricity, all without carbon emissions because reactors use uranium, not fossil fuels.

Two cars are moving towards each other and sound emitted by first car with real frequency of 3000 hertz is detected by a person
sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

 v ’= 21.44 m / s

Explanation:

This is a doppler effect exercise that changes the frequency of the sound due to the relative movement of the source and the observer, the expression that describes the phenomenon for body approaching s

           f ’= f (v + v₀) / (v-v_{s})

where it goes is the speed of sound 343 m / s, v_{s} the speed of the source v or the speed of the observer

in this exercise both the source and the observer are moving, we will assume that both have the same speed,

                v₀ = v_{s} = v ’

we substitute

               f ’= f (v + v’) / (v - v ’)

               f ’/ f (v-v’) = v + v ’

               v (f ’/ f -1) = v’ (1 + f ’/ f)

               v ’= (f’ / f-1) / (1 + f ’/ f) v

               v ’= (f’-f) / (f + f’) v

let's calculate

                v ’= (3400 -3000) / (3000 +3400) 343

                v ’= 400/6400 343

                v ’= 21.44 m / s
