Answer:

s = 3.84 x 10⁸ m

Explanation:

The distance traveled by an object, while in uniform motion, is given by the following equation:

s = vt

where,

s = distance covered

v = speed

t = time interval

In this case:

s = distance between Moon and Earth = ?

v = speed of radio waves = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

t = time taken to travel = 1.28 s

Therefore,

s = (3 x 10⁸ m/s)(1.28 s)

<u>s = 3.84 x 10⁸ m</u>

A long string is pulled so that the tension in it increases by a factor of four. If the change in length is negligible, by what
rusak2 [61]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to wave velocity as a function of the tension and linear mass density. This is

v = \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu}}

Here

v = Wave speed

T = Tension

\mu = Linear mass density

From this proportion we can realize that the speed of the wave is directly proportional to the square of the tension

v \propto \sqrt{T}

Therefore, if there is an increase in tension of 4, the velocity will increase the square root of that proportion

v \propto \sqrt{4} = 2  

The factor that the wave speed change is 2.

Only two horizontal forces act on a 3.0 kg body that can move over a frictionless floor. one force is 9.0 n, acting due east, an
Zolol [24]
The first thing you should do for this case is to find the horizontal and vertical components of the forces acting on the body.
 We have then:
 Horizontal = 9-9.2cos (58) = 4.124742769 N.
 Vertical = 9.2sin (58) = 7.802042485 N
 Then, the resulting net force is:
 F = √ ((4.124742769) ^ 2 + (7.802042485) ^ 2) = 8.825268826 N
 Then by definition:
 F = m * a
 Clearing the acceleration:
 a = F / m
 a = (8.825268826) / (3.0) = 2.941756275 m / s ^ 2
 answer:
 The magnitude of the body's acceleration is
 2.941756275 m / s ^ 2
