The return stroke (the current that cause the visible flash) moves upward at a speed of about 320,000,000 ft per second or about 220,000,000 miles per hour (about 1/3 the speed of light).

When NASA was communicating with astronauts on the Moon, the time from sending on the Earth to receiving on the moon was 1.33 s.
frez [133]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the kinematic equations of movement description, which determine the velocity, such as the displacement of a particle as a function of time, that is to say

v = \frac{x}{t}\rightarrow x = v*t

Where,

x = Displacement

v = Velocity

t = Time

Our values are given as,

v=3*10^8m/s

t = 1.33 s

Replacing we have that,

x=v*t

x=(3*10^8)(1.33)

x = 399'000.000m

Therefore the distance from Earth to the Moon is 399.000 km

Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

45930.52N

Explanation:

Net force = (internal pressure - external pressure)× area of window

Net force = (1.02 - 0.910)atm × 2.03m × 2.03m = 0.11atm × 4.1209m^2 = 0.11 × 101325N/m^2 × 4.1209m^2 = 45930.52N

Un movil de masa 12Kg sobre el cual estan actuando varias fuerzas F_1=48N, F_2=60N y F_3=30N Calcular la aceleracion con la cual
Nikitich [7]

Answer:

Lamentablemente el problema está incompleto, pues no sabemos la dirección en la que se aplican las fuerzas. Por ello, voy a resolver el problema asumiendo dos casos. (abajo se puede ver una imagen donde se describe cada caso)

1) Todas las fuerzas están en la misma dirección.

Entonces la fuerza neta será la suma de las 3 fuerzas, entonces:

F = 48N + 60N + 30N = 138N

Y por la segunda ley de Newton sabemos que:

F = m*a

fuerza igual a masa por aceleración.

Entonces la aceleración está dada por:

a = F/m = 138N/12kg = 11.5 m/s^2

2) Segundo caso, suponemos que F1 es opuesta a F2 y F3

En este caso, la fuerza neta será:

F = F2 + F3 - F1 = 60N + 30N - 48N = 42N

En este caso, la aceleración será:

a = 42N/12kg = 3.5 m/s^2
