Answer:

The minimum time, t = 21.11 m

Explanation:

Given,

The maximum distance between the Earth and Mars, d = 780,000,000 km

The maximum distance between the Earth and Mars, d = 780,000,000 km

The speed of the light, c = 300,000 km/s

The distance and speed of the object is related using the formula,

                           v = d / t

                            t = d / v

The minimum time it takes for data transmission is when the distance between the Mars and the Earth is at minimum.

Therefore,

                            t = 380,000,000 km / 300,000 km/s

                              = 1266.67 s

                              = 21.11 minutes

Hence, the minimum time it takes for data transmitted by the Mars Surveyor to reach earth, t = 21.11 minutes

Describe ehat happens at the molecular level during meilting
Marta_Voda [28]
The molecules of a solid vibrate faster so that they start spreading out to become a liquid. This energy makes them vibrate faster so the bonds between molecules can't interact all that well anymore creating more distance. The stronger the bonds between the molecules the higher the energy (temperature) has to be to get them away from each other. Hope I didn't confuse you too much!
