Answer:

news will reach to the listener who are 42 km apart

Explanation:

given,

distance of the radios from the station = 42 Km

speed of the sound in the air = 343 m/s

distance of the people = 9.26 m

time =\dfrac{distance}{speed}

time taken by the signal to reach to the radio

speed of the electromagnetic wave to reach to the people

speed of electromagnetic wave = 3 × 10⁸ m/s

t =\dfrac{42000}{3 \times 10^8}

t = 1.4 μs

time taken to reach to the people

time =\dfrac{distance}{speed}

t =\dfrac{9.26}{343}

t = 27 ms

time taken by the station to radio is less.

hence, news will reach to the listener who are 42 km apart

Which of the following most logically completes the argument below?
kolezko [41]

Answer:

  (E) a greatly increased number of small particles in Earth’s orbit would result in a blanket of reflections that would make certain valuable telescope observations impossible

Explanation:

The trade is one strong reflection for many weak reflections (and more dangerous near-Earth space travel).

None of the answer choices except the last one has anything to do with the effect of exploding a satellite. When you are arguing that exploding a satellite is ill conceived, you need to address specifically the effects of exploding the satellite.

Your bedroom gets direct sunlight through a window during the hottest part of the day. You ask your mom to turn down the thermom
ycow [4]
I want to say its cooled by reflection because of the foil, sun reflects off of the foil back into the atmosphere. I don't think it's conduction because I have the foil on my windows and it's never warm to the touch. it's not a liquid so I don't believe it's convection. The foil reflects the radiation so I don't think it's b, c or d. so I wanna say A but I'm not 100% sure

If the net external force acting on a system is zero , then the total momentum of the system is zero
Neporo4naja [7]
If net external force acting on the system is zero, momentum is conserved. That means, initial and final momentum are same → total momentum of the system is zero.
