Answer:

Distance = 3.69 × 10^9 m

The distance from the probe to Earth is 3.69 × 10^9 m

Explanation:

Distance from the probe to the Earth can be derived using the simple motion formula;

Distance = speed × time .....1

Since a radio signal uses an electromagnetic wave to transfer signal, it has the same speed as the speed of light.

Speed of radio signal = speed of light = 3.0 × 10^8 m/s

time taken to reach the earth = 12.3 seconds

Substituting the values of speed and time into equation 1;

Distance = 3.0 × 10^8 m/s × 12.3 s

Distance = 36.9 × 10^8 m

Distance = 3.69 × 10^9 m

Note: all electromagnetic radiation have the same speed which is equal to 3.0 × 10^8 m/s

A wrestler weighs in for the first match on the moon. will the athlete weigh more or less on the moon than he does on Earth?
Firdavs [7]
The moon<span> is 1/4 the size of </span>Earth<span>, so the </span>moon's<span> gravity is much less than the </span>earth's gravity, 83.3% (or 5/6) less to be exact. Finally, "weight<span>" is a measure of the gravitational pull between two objects. So of course you would </span>weigh<span> much less on the </span>moon<span>.</span>

What two quantities must stay the same in order for an object to have a constant velocity?
pentagon [3]
<span>Velocity is a vector and it has both speed and direction. It takes a force to change direction just as it does to change speed</span>. In order to have a constant velocity the object must maintain a constant direction and speed. Hope this answers the questions. Have a nice day.

A uniform rod of length L rests on a frictionless horizontal surface. The rod pivots about a fixed frictionless axis at one end.
Svet_ta [14]

Answer: a) 0.315 (V/L)

Explanation:

From Conservation of angular momentum, we know that

L1 = L2 ,

Therefore MV L/2 = ( Irod + Ib) x W

M/4 x V x L/2 = (M (L/2)^2 + 1/3xMxL^2) x W

M/8 X VL = (ML^2/16 + ML^2 /3 )

After elimination we have,

V/8 = 19/48 x L x W

W = 48/8 x V/19L = 6/19 x V/L

Therefore W = (0.136)X V/L
