Answer:

The total time is \bf{52850~Yr}.

Explanation:

Given:

The distance between Galactic Capitol and Earth is, d = 2.5 \times 10^{20}~m

The speed of light is, c = 3 \times 10^{8}~m/s

The time taken by the message to reach and come back to Earth is given by

t &=& \dfrac{2d}{c}\\~~&=& \dfrac{2(2.5 \times 10^{20}~m)}{3 \times 10^{8}~m/s}\\~~&=& 1.6 \times 10^{12}~s\\~~&=& \dfrac{1.6 \times 10^{12}~s}{(86400 \times 365)~s}~Yr\\~~&\approx& 52849~Yr

In addition they take 1 year to decide to reply.

Thus, the total time is 25850~Yr.

Define potentiol energy , kenetic energy.​
Pani-rosa [81]

Potential energy is stored energy. For example, if a bowling ball is on top of a giant hill, we say it has potential energy because it has the potential to do work which is to roll down the hill.

Kinetic energy is the energy of movement so once that ball rolls down that hill, that potential energy is converted to kinetic energy.

Which electromagnetic waves has the highest energy?How do you know?
aliya0001 [1]

Answer:

Gamma Rays

Explanation:

Gamma rays have the highest energies the shortest wavelengths and the highest frequencies. They have the highest energies because they have the highest frequencies, the higher the frequency the more energy. ( I think, maybe double check with other answers )

Good Luck :)

LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

The steam engine of James watt is more efficient than Newcomen ans more suitable for the industrial revolution.

Explanation:

James Watt is more widely know for working steam engine because Watt has created better engine which is suitable for the industrial revolution. The steam engine of James watt is more efficient than Newcomen. Watt developed the condensing arrangement by using piston which lessen the initial pressure leading to effectively worked than Newcomen's
