We know that the source of light in the universe is the Sun. Hence, the light we see as moonlight travels from the Sun's surface, to the moon, then to Earth. So, before being able to solve this problem, we have to know the distance between the Sun and the moon, and the distance between the moon and Earth. In literature, these values are 3.8×10⁵ km (Sun to moon) and 384,400 km (moon to Earth). Knowing that the speed of light is 300,000 km per second, then the total time would be
Time = distance/speed
Time = (3.8×10⁵ km + 384,400 km)/300,000 km/s
Time = 2.548 seconds
Thus, it only takes 2.548 for the light from the Sun to reach to the Earth as perceived to be what we call moonlight.

Answer:
Options A and D
Explanation:
In this question the student needs to collect these measurements in order to approximate the work done
A. The mass of the student
D. The final vertical height above the initial vertical position.
Workdone = mgh
m = mass
g = gravity = 9.8m/s²
h = vertical height between the initial and the final positions.
The vertical height has to be known as gravity only acts straight down.
Answer:
The molecules are continually colliding with each other and with the walls of the container. When a molecule collides with the wall, they exert small force on the wall The pressure exerted by the gas is due to the sum of all these collision forces. The more particles that hit the walls, the higher the pressure.
