V= \frac{S}{t}
t= \frac{S}{V}<u />
t= \frac{S}{c}
t= \frac{6.1*10^{12}}{299792458}
t=20347.4098071s

It takes 20347.4098071s for light from the sun to reach Pluto.
The 6.1*10^9 is replaced by 6.1*10^12 on line 4 because we convert the distance from km to m. 
c = speed of light. If a different value was given in the previous question then use that instead of the value I used to do the final calculation.

A coin of mass m rests on a turntable a distance r from the axis of rotation. The turntable rotates with a frequency of f. What
Crank

Answer:

\mu = \frac{r (2\pi f)^{2}}{g}

Explanation:

N = normal force acting on the coin

Normal force in the upward direction balances the weight of the coin, hence

N = mg

f = frequency of rotation

Angular velocity of turntable is hence given as

w = 2\pi f

r = distance from the axis of rotation

\mu = minimum coefficient of static friction

static frictional force is given as

f = \mu N\\f = \mu mg

The  static frictional force provides the necessary centripetal force , hence

Centripetal force = Static frictional force

m r w^{2} = \mu mg\\r w^{2} = \mu g\\\\\mu = \frac{r w^{2}}{g} \\\mu = \frac{r (2\pi f)^{2}}{g}

You can enter compound units that are combinations of other units that are multiplied together. to enter the ⋅ explicitly, type
alexdok [17]

Answer:

30 N \cdot m

Explanation:

The torque applied by a force can be calculated as

\tau = F d sin \theta

where

F is the magnitude of the force

d is the length of the arm

\theta is the angle between the direction of the force and the arm

In this problem, we have

F = 15 N

d = 2.0 m

\theta=90^{\circ}

Substituting into the equation, we find

\tau = (15)(2.0) sin 90^{\circ}=30 N \cdot m
