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

When you look ahead while driving, it is best to:
vodka [1.7K]
I think its [B]
Personally i would say [B] only because If you are looking beyond the car in front of you..... then what if the car in front of you throws on breaks... you would hit them in the butt because you weren't paying attention to the car.
And majority of the time if your looking in the lanes beside you then you are most likely trying to get in that lane.

Which part of the drum vibrates when it produces sound?
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Explanation:

For example, when a drum is struck, the flexible skin (sometimes called a membrane) of the drum vibrates. The compression and expansion of the air on either side of the vibrating membrane produces differences in air pressure. The pressure differences generate a sound wave that propagates outward from the drum surface.

Estimate the volume of a piece of molecular cloud that has the same amount of water as your body.
noname [10]

Question:

The water molecules now in your body were once part of a molecular cloud. Only about onemillionth of the mass of a molecular cloud is in the form of water molecules, and the mass density of such a cloud is roughly 2.0×10−21 g/cm^3.

Estimate the volume of a piece of molecular cloud that has the same amount of water as your body.

Answer:

The volume of cloud that has the same density as the amount of water in our body is 1.4×10²⁵ cm³

Explanation:

Here, we have mass density of cloud  =  2.0×10⁻²¹ g/cm^3

Density = Mass/Volume

Volume = Mass/Density =   If the mass is 40 kg and the body is made up of 70% by mass of water, we have

28 kg water = 28000 g

Therefore the Volume = 28 kg/ 2.0×10⁻²¹ g/cm^3 = 1.4×10¹⁹ m³ = 1.4×10²⁵ cm³.

Therefore, the volume of cloud that has the same density as the amount of water in our body = 1.4×10²⁵ cm³.

How do I find frictional force with force applied?
lions [1.4K]

Answer: Choose the normal force acting between the object and the ground. Let's assume a normal force of 250 N.

Determine the friction coefficient.

Multiply these values by each other: 250 N * 0.13 = 32.5 N .

You just found the force of friction!
