There are many theories and measurement for the speed of light. It is believed that light travels at 299,792 km per second.  In the earlier day philosopher Aristotle believed that light didn't travel but happens instantaneously.  Therefore, for Galileo and his assistant to be only 1km apart, I would have to agree with Aristotle theory of light traveling instantaneously.

Answer:

216

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm sure there is a simpler way to do this but this is how I did it.

First divide 18 by 6 because it triples every 6 hours.

18/6=3

This means it will triple three times

Then triple the value three times

#1. 8x3=24

#2. 24x3=72

#3. 72x3=216

In 18 hours the virus will infect 216 people.

Find the length of the tangent segment AB to the circles centered at O and O' whose radii are a and b respectively when the circ
bixtya [17]

Answer:

AB=2\sqrt{ab}

Step-by-step explanation:

From figure,

OA=a,  \quad \quad O'B=b\\\Rightarrow OO'= (a+b) \quad \quad \text{and}\quad OD=(a-b)

In triangle OO'D

  (OO')^2=(OD)^2+(O' D)^2

\Rightarrow (a+b)^2=(a-b)^2+(O' D)^2\\\Rightarrow a^2+b^2+2ab-a^2-b^2+2ab=(O' D)^2\\\Rightarrow 4ab=(O' D)^2\\\Rightarrow O'D=2\sqrt{ab} \\\Rightarrow O' D=2\sqrt{ab}=AB \quad \quad [\because O' DAB\;\; \text{is a rectangle.}]

Hence, AB=2\sqrt{ab}

If sound travels through air at around 13 of a kilometer per second, and thunder is heard 6 seconds after a flash of lightning, it would be 78ths of a kilometer. Although, I can't simplify that for you. Sorry. ^-^

The rate at which a duck gains weight is proportional to the difference between its adult weight and its current weight. At time
kogti [31]
DB/dt = 1/5(100 - B)
5/(100 - B) dB = dt
-5 ln (100 - B) = t + C
Since B(0) = 20, then
-5 ln (100 - 20) = C
i.e. C = -5 ln 80

Thus -5 ln (100 - B) = t - 5 ln 80
or t = 5 ln 80 - 5 ln (100 - B) = 5 ln (80 / (100 - B))

When the weight = 40 grams
t = 5 In (80 / 100 - 40) = 5 In (80 / 60) = 5 ln (4/3) = 1.438 days
Rate of weight gain = 40 / 1.438 = 27.8 grams per day

When the weight = 70 grams
t = 5 ln (80 / 100 - 70) = 5 ln (80 / 30) = 5 ln (8/3) = 4.9 days
Rate of weight gain = 70/4.9 = 14.27 grams per day.

Therefore, the duck gains weight faster when it weighs 40 grams.
