The average distance from Earth to the Moon is 384,000 km. In the late 1960s, astronauts reached the Moon in about 3 days. How f

ast (on average) must they have been traveling (in km/h) to cover this distance in this time? Compare this speed to the speed of a jet aircraft (800 km/h).

Answer:

They must have been traveling at 5333.33 km/h to cover that distance in 3 days.

That speed are 6,66 times higher than the speed of an aircraft jet.

Explanation:

d= 384000 km

t= 3 days = 3*24hr = 72hr

V= 384000km/72hr

V= 5333.33 km/h

comparison:

V1/V2= 5333.33/800

V1/V2= 6.66

goblinko [34]

Answer;

-Sensors

-Sensors are placed on dangerous machinery to detect motion, light, heat, pressure, or another stimulus. Their presence helps protect operators from injury while working on machines.

Explanation;

-Machinery, safety and factory floor sensors and switches help workers become more productive, efficient, and safe.

-Hazardous machines and systems are frequently equipped with safety elements (safety doors) with a locking mechanism to protect the operator. Their function is to prevent hazardous machine functions if the safety door is not closed and locked and to keep the safety door closed and locked until the risk of injury has passed.

NikAS [45]

Answer:

31.25 m

25m/sec

Explanation:

Given :-

Time = 5sec

V = 0 (in going up)

U = 0 (in comming down)

Find :-

H and U by which it is thrown up

Since the total time is 5 sec ,therefore half time will be taken to go up and another half will be taken to go down .

We know that ,

V = U + gt

0 = U - 10*2.5

U = 25 m/sec

Also,

V² = U² +2gs

0 = 625 - 20s

s = 625/20 = 31.25 m

Tech A says parallel circuits are like links in a chain. Tech B says total current in a parallel circuit equals the sum of the c
rosijanka [135]

Answer: Only Tech B is correct.

Explanation:

First, tech A is wrong.

The circuits that can be compared with links in a chain are the series circuit, and it can be related to the links in a chain because if one of the elements breaks, the current can not flow furthermore (because the elements in the circuit are connected in series) while in a parallel circuit if one of the branches breaks, the current still can flow by other branches.

Also in a parallel circuit, the sum of the currents of each path is equal to the current that comes from the source, so Tech B is correct, the total current is equal to the sum of the currents flowing in each branch of the circuit.
