Answer:

v = 3×10^8 m/s

s= 384,400 km= 3.84×10^8 m/s

t = ?

v = s/t = 2s/t

t = 2s/v

t = (2×3.84×10^8) ÷ 3×10^8

t = 2.56 seconds

Explanation:

Earth's moon is the brightest object in our

night sky and the closest celestial body. Its

presence and proximity play a huge role in

making life possible here on Earth. The moon's gravitational pull stabilizes Earth's wobble on its axis, leading to a stable climate.

The moon's orbit around Earth is elliptical. At perigee — its closest approach — the moon comes as close as 225,623 miles (363,104 kilometers). At apogee — the farthest away it gets — the moon is 252,088 miles (405,696

km) from Earth. On average, the distance fromEarth to the moon is about 238,855 miles (384,400 km). According to NASA , "That means 30 Earth-sized planets could fit in between Earth and the moon."

A flea jumps straight up to a maximum height of 0.550 m . what is its initial velocity v0 as it leaves the ground?
Alexxx [7]
Since my givens are x = .550m [Vsub0] = unknown
 [Asubx] = =9.80
 
 [Vsubx]^2 = [Vsub0x]^2 + 2[Asubx] * (X-[Xsub0]

[Vsubx]^2 = [Vsub0x]^2 + 2[Asubx] * (X-[Xsub0]) 

Vsubx is the final velocity, which at the max height is 0, and Xsub0 is just 0 as that's where it starts so I just plug the rest in

0^2 = [Vsub0x]^2 + 2[-9.80]*(.550)

0 = [Vsub0x]^2 -10.78

10.78 = [Vsub0x]^2

Sqrt(10.78) = 3.28 m/s
