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

Three small masses are positioned as follows: 2.0 kg at (0.0 m, 0.0 m), 2.0 kg at (2.0 m, 0.0 m), and 4.0 kg at (2.0 m, 1.0 m).

Refer to the diagram shown below.

The given data is

mass, kg   Coordinates. m
-------------   -----------------
   2               (0, 0)
   2               (2, 0)
   4               (2, 1)

Total mass, M = 2+2+4 = 8kg
Let (x,y) be the coordinates of M.

Then, taking moments about the origin, we obtain
8x = 2*0 + 2*2 + 4*2 = 12
x = 1.5 m

8y = 2*0 + 2*0 + 4*1 = 4
y = 0.5 m

Answer:  (1.5, 0.5) m

Should nuclear energy be part of sustainable energy future? explain your answer
liraira [26]

Answer:

Nuclear power is presently a sustainable energy source, but could become completely renewable if the source of uranium changed from mined ore to seawater. Since U extracted is continuously replenished through geologic processes, nuclear would become as endless as solar.

A car is running at a velocity of 50 miles/hour and the driver accelerates the car by 10miles/hour.How far the car travels from
dezoksy [38]
Initial velocity u = 50 miles/hour
acceleration a = 10 miles/hour
Time t = 2 hours
Distance travelled S = ut + (at^2)/2
Substituting the values in the second equation of motion,
S = 50*2 + (10 * 2 *2)/2
S = 100 + 20
S = 120 miles
Therefore the distance travelled by the car in the next two hours is 120 miles

Here is something to blow your mind. In one slice of "everything" pizza there are 650 Calories (1000 chemistry calories). That e
amid [387]

Answer:

Number of slices of pizza is 993.

Explanation:

It is given that,  in one slice of "everything" pizza there are 650 Calories. The conversion factor from calories to joules is :

1 calorie = 4.184 joules

650 calories = 2719.6 joules

Total energy in the pizza, E = 2700000 J

Let there are n number of slices of pizza. It is given by :

n=\dfrac{2700000}{2719.6}

n = 992.79

or

n = 993

So, there are 993 slices of pizza. Hence, this is the required solution.
