Time  =        (distance) / (speed)

Time  =  (150 x 10⁹ m) / (3 x 10⁸ m/s) =

                           50 x 10¹ sec  = 

                                 <em>500 sec</em>  =  8 min 20 sec

In what regions of the electromagnetic spectrum is the atmosphere transparent enough to allow observations from the ground?
MissTica

Answer:

Visible Light and Radio waves

Explanation:

The earth's atmosphere is transparent to a few windows in the electromagnetic spectrum. it is completely transparent to allow observation from the ground in visible light rang 380 to 740 nano meters. Also in the range of radio wave as communication are done from space to ground in the form of radio waves.

it is Partially transparent to Microwave and infrared range.

Two resistors, of R1 = 3.11 Ω and R2 = 6.15 Ω, are connected in series to a battery with an EMF of 24.0 V and negligible interna
Firlakuza [10]
Part (a):
1- Since the resistors are in series, therefore, the total resistance is the summation of the two resistors.
Therefore:
Rtotal = R1 + R2 = 3.11 + 6.15 = 9.26 ohm

2- Since the two resistors are in series, therefore, the current flowing in both is the same. We will use ohm's law to get the current as follows:
V = I*R
V is the voltage of the battery = 24 v
I is the current we want to get
R is the total resistance = 9.26 ohm
Therefore:
24 = 9.26*I
I = 24 / 9.26
I = 2.59 ampere

Part (b):
To get the voltage across the second resistor, we will again use Ohm's law as follows:
V = I*R
V is the voltage we want to get
I is the current in the second resistor = 2.59 ampere
R is the value of the second resistor = 6.15 ohm
Therefore:
V = I*R
V = 2.59 * 6.15
V = 15.9285 volts

Hope this helps :)

A scene in a movie has a stuntman falling through a floor onto a bed in the room below. The plan is to have the actor fall on hi
IgorC [24]

Answer:

m=17.79Kg

Explanation:

In this process energy must be conserved. On the initial stage, there will be only gravitational potential energy, while on the final stage there will be only elastic potential energy, so they will be equal. We write this as:

U_g=U_e

Which is the same as:

mgh=\frac{k \Delta x^2}{2}

So we can obtain our mass from there, and for our values:

m=\frac{k \Delta x^2}{2gh}=\frac{(65144 N/m)(0.1333m)^2}{2(9.8m/s^2)(3.32m)}=17.79Kg
