calculate the time (in years) it would take to send a message to the Galactic Capitol located at the center of our Milky Way gal

axy and then receive the reply. We live about 2.5x10^20 meters away from the Galaxy center. Assume the message leaves the Earth and travels at the speed of light and that they take 1 year to decide what to answer..

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.

Which type of electromagnetic radiation has the highest frequency?
Likurg_2 [28]

Explanation:

As we know that relation between energy and wavelength is as follows.

                  E = \frac{hc}{\lambda}

This means that energy is inversely proportional to wavelength. So, more is the energy of an electromagnetic radiation less will be its wavelength.

Also,          f = \frac{c}{\lambda}

Hence, less will be the wavelength more will frequency of a radiation.

Gamma rays are the rays that have highest energy, small wavelength and highest frequency.

Thus, we can conclude that gamma rays are the electromagnetic radiation which has the highest frequency.

At the lowest point in a vertical dive (radius = 0.58 km), an airplane has a speed of 300 km/h which is not changing. Determine
murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

The centripetal acceleration is a = 11.97 \ m/s^2

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The radius  is r =  0.58 \ km =  0.58 * 1000  =  580 \ m

      The speed is v  = 300\ km /hr =  \frac{300 *1000}{1 * 3600 }  =  83.33 \ m/s

The centripetal acceleration of the pilot is mathematically represented as

       a =  \frac{v^2 }{r}

substituting  values

      a =  \frac{(83.33)^2 }{580}

     a = 11.97 \ m/s^2

Tarzan, in one tree, sights Jane in another tree
taurus [48]
Taking the distance of Tarzan from the ground before and after he makes the swing:

Ho (initial height) = L(1 - cos45) = 20 (1 - 0.707) = 5.86 meters
Hf (final height) = L(1 - cos30) = 20 (1 - 0.866<span>) = 2.68 meters
</span>
Difference in height = 5.86 - 2.68 = 3.18 meters

PE = KE
mgh = (1/2)mv^2

Solving for v:
v = sqrt (2*g*h)
v = sqrt (2*9.8*3.18)
v = 7.89 m/s

With Tarzan going that fast, it is likely that he will knock Jane off.

You basically keep varying the coefficient so until the number of atoms for each element is equal. I started with iron to show how you might have to change coefficients but it would be more efficient and quicker to start with oxygen since it changes the value or iron required.
