Answer:

It took 1.28 seconds to his voice to reach the Earth via radio waves.

Explanation:

The electromagnetic spectrum is the distribution of radiation due to the different frequencies at which it radiates and its different intensities, that radiation is formed by electromagnetic waves, which are transverse waves formed by an electric field and a magnetic field perpendicular to it.

The distribution of the radiation in the electromagnetic spectrum can also be given in wavelengths, but it is more frequent to work with it at frequencies, the highest being that of gamma rays, followed by X-rays, ultraviolet rays and the visible region , and those of lower frequencies, which correspond to infrared, microwave and radio waves.

Light propagates as electromagnetic wave in vacuum with a speed of 3x10^{8}m/s. Therefore, radio waves will have in vacuum the same speed.

Then, to know the time that it took for its voice, the next equation can be used:

c = \frac{d}{t}  (1)

Where c is the speed of light, d is the distance and t is the time.

Notice that t can be isolated from equation 1.

t = \frac{d}{c} (2)

t = \frac{3.85x10^{8} m}{3x10^{8}m/s}

t = 1.28s

Hence, it took 1.28 seconds to his voice to reach the Earth via radio waves.

In the equation F = Kq1 q2/r2 solve for q2. Solve for r.
Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

r = √(k q₁ q₂ / F)

Explanation:

F = k q₁ q₂ / r²

Multiply both sides by r²:

F r² = k q₁ q₂

Divide both sides by F:

r² = k q₁ q₂ / F

Take the square root of both sides:

r = √(k q₁ q₂ / F)

A typical electric refrigerator has a power rating of 500 Watts, which is the rate (J/s) at which electrical energy is supplied
Goshia [24]

Answer:

The rate of heat removed from inside the refrigerator is 300 watts.

Explanation:

By the First Law of Thermodynamics and the definition of a Refrigeration Cycle, we have the following formula to determine the rate of heat removed from inside the refrigerator (\dot Q_{L}), in watts:

\dot Q_{L} = \dot Q_{H}-\dot W (1)

Where:

\dot Q_{H} - Rate of heat released to the room, in watts.

\dot W - Rate of electric energy needed by the refrigerator, in watts.

If we know that \dot Q_{H} = 800\,W and \dot W = 500\,W, then the rate of heat removed from inside the refrigerator is:

\dot Q_{L} = \dot Q_{H}-\dot W

\dot Q_{L} = 300\,W

The rate of heat removed from inside the refrigerator is 300 watts.
