During an Apollo moon landing, reflecting panels were placed on the moon. This allowed Earth-based astronomers to shoot laser be

ams at the moon's surface to determine its distance from Earth. The reflected laser beam was observed by the astronomers 2.52 s after the laser pulse was sent. If the speed of light is 3.00 times 10^8 m/s, what was the distance between the astronomers and the moon? Based on the relationship Distance = Speed times Time, solve the problem.

Answer:

The distance between the astronomers and the moon was 7.56*10^{8] meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that the speed is the distance divided by the time, so:

v = \frac{d}{t}

In this problem, we have that:

The reflected laser beam was observed by the astronomers 2.52 s after the laser pulse was sent. This means that t = 2.52.

If the speed of light is 3.00 times 10^8 m/s, what was the distance between the astronomers and the moon?

We have that v = 3*10^{8}m/s.

We have to find d. So:

v = \frac{d}{t}

d = vt

d = 3*10^{8}*2.52

7.56*10^{8]

The distance between the astronomers and the moon was 7.56*10^{8] meters.

An isosceles triangle has two sides of equal length, a, and a base, b. The perimeter of the triangle is 15.7 inches, so the equa
wolverine [178]

Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that an isosceles triangle has two sides of length a and base b, then the perimeter of an isosceles triangle= Sum of all the sides

⇒a+a+b=15.7

⇒2a+b=15.7

⇒b=15.7-2a

Also, we know that he sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle must be greater than the length of the third side that means,

⇒a+a>b

⇒2a>b

Now, substituting the value of b in the above equation, we get

2a>15.7-2a

⇒4a>15.7

⇒a>3.925

Now, b=15.7-2a, therefore b=15.7-2(3.925)=15.7-7.85=7.85

Thus possible value of b is 7.85.
