A remote Internet Web page may sometimes reach your computer by going through a geostationary satellite orbiting approximately 3

.6 × 107 m above Earth's surface. What is the minimum delay in seconds that the Web page takes to reach your computer?

Answer:

0.24 seconds

Explanation:

The signal will reach the computer at light speed = 3\times 10^8\ m/s

Distance between the satellite and the computer = 3.6\times 10^7m

Since, the bodies have no acceleration relative to each other we use the following formula

Time = Distance / Time

\text{Time}=\frac{3.6\times 10^7}{3\times 10^8}\\\Rightarrow \text{Time}=0.12\ s

One way delay would be at least 0.12 seconds.

But when you click on a link to open a website this signal has to be first sent to the satellite then the satellite would have to send the required signal back to the computer.

Hence, the minimum time delay would be 0.12+0.12 = 0.24 seconds

A block of mass 9.5kg rests on a slope an angle of 23.0∘ relative to the horizontal. What is the size of the contact force norma
Rudiy27

The Normal Force = M x G x Cos(theta)

= 9.5 Kg x 9.8 m/s^2 x cos 23

= 9.5 Kg x 9.8 m/s^2 x 0.9205

Converting Kg to Newton,

1 Kg  = 9.81 N

= 9.5 Kg x 9.81 N x 9.8 m/s^2 x 0.9205

= 840.702 N

Answer:

Hello, how's your day going?

if humanity came together and made a base on the moon, it would be revolutionary. The point of a base on the moon would have multiple purposes. for example, some think that the moon contains valuable metals such as iron and titanium. a base would serve as a place for workers harvesting metals to rest. Obviously or not most of the iron harvesting would be done automatically by robots and such.

If such a base were constructed on the moon, it would be the begining of people living on other worlds and would be a great start for a base on Mars.

Hope it helped

One isotope of a metallic element has the mass number 65 and 35 neutrons in the nucleus. the cation derived from the isotope has
Lina20 [59]
The mass number of an isotope is the sum of the numbers of protons and the numbers of the neutron. Given that the mass number is 65 and the number of neutrons is 35, the number of protons is 30. The atom is then Zinc (Zn). The charge is equal to +2, as it lacks 2 more electrons.

The uncertainty in the position of an electron along an x axis is given as 53 pm, which is about equal to the radius of a hydrog
Jobisdone [24]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the Heisenberg's uncertainty principle. Under this principle we understand the relationship that the minimum range of error in position (x) times the minimum range of error in momentum (p) is, at a minimum, about equal to the Planck constant, mathematically that is,

\Delta p = \frac{h}{\Delta x}

Replacing with our values we have,

\Delta p = \frac{6.63*10^{-34}J\cdot s}{2\pi (53*10^{-12}m)}

\Delta p = 1.99*10^{-24} kg\cdot m/s

Therefore the least uncertainty in any simultaneous measurement of the momentum component px of this electron is 1.99*10^{-24} kg\cdot m/s

t is 165 cm from your eyes to your toes. you are standing 200 cm in front of a tall mirror. how far is it from your eyes to the
Bezzdna [24]

The distance from your eyes to the image of your toes in the mirror is 365 cm.

What is distance?
Distance as well as displacement are two key terms in mechanics that, despite having similar sounds, have distinct definitions and meanings. How much of an object's path has been covered by a moving object is measured in terms of distance. While "How much route is covered by object inside a particular direction" is measured by displacement, The main distinction between distance as well as displacement is therefore that the former is a scalar quantity while the latter is a vector quantity. Both quantities have had some similarities despite this distinction. Meters are used to measure both length and displacement (m). In this article, we'll learn further about distance as well as displacement by understanding some key ideas, such as what distance is, its mathematical definition, what displacement is, its mathematical definition, its differences, similarities, and examples.

This is because the mirror is 200 cm away from you, and the image of your toes in the mirror is 165 cm away from the mirror. Therefore, the total distance from your eyes to the image of your toes is 200 cm (distance from you to mirror) + 165 cm (distance from mirror to image of toes) = 365 cm.
