Answer:

240 seconds

Explanation:

Data Given:

Distance Radio travel to earth = 7.19 ×10⁷ km

Speed of this radio signal = 3.00 ×10⁸ m/s

Solution:

First convert Km to m

1 km = 1000 m

7.19 ×10⁷ km = 7.19 ×10⁷ x 1000 = 7.19 × 10¹⁰m

Formula used to calculate time

            Speed (S) = distance (d) / time (t)

rearrange above equation for time

            time (t) = distance (d) / Speed (S) . . . . . . . . .(1)

Put values in equation 1

            time (t) = 7.19 × 10¹⁰/ 3.00 ×10⁸ m/s

            time (t) = 240 s

So 240 seconds it take for the signal to reach the earth

Contrast the silica content of magma in quiet and explosive eruptions
klemol [59]
Magma in quiet eruptions has a low content in silica , while in explosive eruptions, it has a high Content in silica.  A volcano that erupts quietly has  magma that is low in silica. Low-silica magma has low viscosity and flows easily.  A volcano that erupts explosively has magma that is high in silica. High-silica magma has high viscosity, making it thick and sticky, thus it flows slowly.

Is coal limited or unlimited give reasons
algol13

Answer:

Limited

Explanation:

Once it is used once, it is not reusable. Also, there's a possibility to use ALL the coal there is. That's why it's an unrenewable source, unlike the sun, wind, or water that never ends. Those are renewable
