We see a full moon by reflected sunlight. How much earlier did the light that enters our eye leave the sun? the earth-moon and e

Tju [1.3M]

The time taken by the light reflected from sun to reach on earth will be 8.4 minutes.

To find the answer, we need to know about the distance travelled by light.

<h3>How to find the time taken by the light reflected from sun to reach on earth?</h3>

So, in order to solve this problem, we must first know how far the moon is from Earth and how far the Sun is from the moon.
These distances are given as 3.8×10^5 km (Earth-Moon) and 1.5×10^8 km (Sun- Earth).
Since the Moon and Sun are on opposite sides of Earth during a full moon, the light's distance traveled equals,

$d=(1.5*10^8km)+2(3.8*10^5km)=1.51*10^8km=1.51*10^{11}m$

As we know that light travels at a speed of 300,000 km per second. then, the time taken by the light reflected from sun to reach on earth will be,

$t=\frac{1.51*10^{11}}{3*10^8}=503.33 s\\t=\frac{503.33}{60}=8.4min$

Thus, the time it takes for the light from the Sun to reach Earth and be recognized as 8.4 minutes.

The security alarm on a parked car goes off and produces a frequency of 769 Hz. The speed of sound is 343 m/s. As you drive towa

uysha [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

ASSUMING your speed is constant

f₀ = f(v + vo)/(v + vs)

Δf = f approach - f depart

69.5 = (769(343 + vo)/(343 + 0)) - (769(343 - vo)/(343 + 0))

69.5 = 769(2vo/343)

vo = 15.5 m/s

To store stacks of clean plates, a cafeteria uses a closed cart with a spring-loaded shelf inside. Customers can take plates off

The answer for the following problem is mentioned below.

The option for the question is "A" approximately.

Therefore the elastic potential energy of the string is 20 J.

Explanation:

Given:

Spring constant (k) = 240 N/m

amount of the compression (x) = 0.40 m

To calculate:

Elastic potential energy (E)

We know;

According to the formula;

E = $\frac{1}{2}$ × k × x × x

E = $\frac{1}{2}$ × k ×(x)²

where;

E represents the elastic potential energy

K represents the spring constant

x represents amount of the compression in the string

So therefore,

Substituting the values in the above formula;

E = $\frac{1}{2}$ × 240 × (0.40)²

E = $\frac{1}{2}$ × 240 × 0.16

E = $\frac{1}{2}$ × 38.4

E = 19.2 J or approximately 20 J

Therefore the elastic potential energy of the string is 20 J.
