Answer:

s = 2.16 x 10¹¹ m

Explanation:

Since, the waves travelling from Earth to the Mars rover are electromagnetic. Therefore, there speed must be equal to the speed of light. So, from the equation given below:

s = vt

where,

s = the distance between Earth and Mars = ?

v = speed of the wave = speed of light = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

t = time taken by the radio signals to reach the rover from Earth

t = (12 min)(60 s/1 min) = 720 s

Therefore,

s = (3 x 10⁸ m/s)(720 s)

<u>s = 2.16 x 10¹¹ m</u>

A Carnot engine absorbs 1, 3 MJ of heat at 427 degree C and exhausts heat to a reservoir at 90 degree C. How much work does it d
Alex17521 [72]
<span>Carnot cycle efficiency = work done/heat supplied = (Th - Tc)/Th where, Th is temperature of hot reservoir and Tc is temperature of cold reservoir. we have given the values as Heat supplied = 1.3 MJ or 1300 KJ, Th = 427 degree C and Tc = 90 degree C. converting degree Celsius to kelvin temperatures, Th = 427 + 273 = 700 K Tc = 90 +273 = 363 solving equations, (700 - 363)/700 = work done / 1300 work done = 625.86 KJ i.e. 0.626 MJ work is done .</span>

suppose you want to determine the surface area of this sugar cube. it has edges that are each 2 cm long. if you cut the cube in
ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

Half: 6 cm^2    Whole: 12 cm^2

Explanation:

First, we know that the edges of the cube are 2 cm long. So there are 6 faces on a cube. We do 2x6=12 cm^2 as our total surface area. Then it asks for each half. So you would divide it by 2 and get 6 cm^2 as your half.

saveliy_v [14]
The spectrum of light from the moon should very strongly resemble the spectrum of sunlight. The reason is that any light from the moon started out from the sun. Any difference in their spectra is only due to the moon absorbing more of some wavelengths and less of others. But since the moon appears colorless gray, we don't expect any particular colors to be strongly absorbed, otherwise the moon would look to be the colors of the light that's left.
