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

The elements selenium and oxygen are both poor electrical conductors. In which section of the periodic table are they
murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

The answer to your question is Nonmetals

Explanation:

Nonmetals   they are bad conductors of heat and electricity except graphite.

Metalloids   they are less conductors of electricity than metals.

Noble gases  they conduct electricity.

Halogens they are not metals and do not conduct electricity.

From this information, we conclude that Oxygen and Selenium are nonmetals.

A swimming pool is 4.0 m in depth; a swimmer at this depth feels discomfort in the ear. Calculate the net force on a 0.50-cm-dia
Mashcka [7]

The net force on a 0.50-cm-diameter eardrum is mathematically given as

F= 0.76969 N

<h3>What is the net force on a 0.50-cm-diameter eardrum?</h3>

Generally, the equation for Pressure is  mathematically given as

P = ρgh

Therefore

P= 1000*9.8*4

P= 39200 Pa

Where

A= pi*(0.005/2)^2

Generally, the equation for Net force is  mathematically given as

F = PA

F= 39200 *( pi*(0.005/2)^2)

F= 0.76969 N

In conclusion, The net force is

F= 0.76969 N
