Answer:

15944.6 sec

Explanation:

d = distance of Pluto from earth = 32 AU = 32 x 1.496 x 10¹¹ m

v = speed of light = 1.08 x 10⁹ km/hr = ( 1.08 x 10⁹) (0.278) m/s

t = time taken for the communication to reach from probe to earth = ?

Using the equation

d = v t

Inserting the values given

32 x 1.496 x 10¹¹ = (( 1.08 x 10⁹) (0.278)) t

t = 15944.6 sec

t = 1.6 x 10⁴ sec

1. A skier takes off from the top of the ski run and
vampirchik [111]

Answer:

a = 6 [m/s^2]

Explanation:

In order to calculate the acceleration of the skier, the following expression of kinematics must be used:

a = (v)/t

where:

v = velocity = 24 [m/s]

t = time = 4 [s]

a = 24/4 = 6 [m/s^2]
