The New Horizons probe flew past Pluto in July 2015. At the time, Pluto was about 32 AU from Earth. How long did it take for com

munication from the probe to reach Earth, given that the speed of light in km/hr is 1.08 × 109?

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

Yanka [14]

Answer:

h = 1.02 m

Explanation:

This is a fluid mechanics exercise, where the pressure is given by

       P = P_{atm} + ρ g h

The gauge pressure is

      P - P_{atm}  = ρ g h

In this case the upper part of the tube we have the atmospheric pressure. and the diver can exert a pressure 10 KPa below the outside pressure, this must be the gauge pressure

     P_{m} =    P - P_{atm}

     P_{m} = ρ g h

     h =P_{m} / ρ g

calculate

     h = 10 103 / (1000 9.8)

     h = 1.02 m

This is the depth at which man can breathe

Need help in knowing what energy it’s using
ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

8:P.E,9:gaining K.E,10:P.E,11:gaining K.E.

Explanation:

it gained potential energy at 8 because it was at its maximum height,and since potential energy is the energy that u posses due to ur height,thats the energy it possesed on the spot 8.as you can see on spot 9 its moving down so as its moving down,it gains kinetic energy,since its an energy possesed by a body due to its motion/movement,thats what it gained at spot 9, it gsained kineti energy because of its movement.and at 10 agian it would gain potential energy ecause of height and on point 11 as its heading upwards it gains kinetic energy because of movement.

The movement of the planets and other celestial bodies in the Solar System is caused by
Anvisha [2.4K]

The movement of the planets and other celestial bodies in the solar system is actually caused by the sun's gravitational pull or force.

Just like the moon orbits the earth because of the gravitational pull by the earth so does gravitational pull by the sun causes planets' and other celestial bodies' orbit.

the first law of thermodynamics states that (triangle)E= Q-W. is this also a statement of the principle of conservation energy
Verdich [7]
Yes, the first law of thermodynamics was created using the law of conservation of energy that is applied in a thermodynamic systems.the first law of thermodynamics is the change in internal energy of an isolated system is equal to the amount of heat (Q) added to the system minus the work (w) done by the system to the surroundings . while the law of conservation of energy states that in an isolated system that energy is constant, and energy can change its form but it cannot be created or destroyed.
