Answer:

3 Minutes 2 seconds to 22 minutes 16 seconds

Explanation:

Lets assume the Mars to be at the closest distance to Earth. This distance (D) = 54.6 Million km

The signal travels at the speed of light, so speed of the signal (V) = 300000 km/s

So, the time (T) taken by the radio wave to reach Earth from Mars will be,

T = \frac{D}{V}

T = \frac{54600000}{300000}

Thus, T = 182 Sec = 3 Minutes 2 seconds.

The radio wave will take minimum 03 Minutes 02 seconds to reach Earth. Here is should be noted that the distance between the two planets keep on changing as they revolve around the Sun. There will come a point when Mars is farthest from Earth and the distance (D) will be 401 Million km. Then, the time will change to ,

T = \frac{401000000}{300000}

T = 1336.67 sec = 22.27 Minutes.

So the maximum time will be 22 minutes 16 seconds.

Atoms are the smallest portions of an element that retain the original characteristics of the element. True or false
kozerog [31]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Going even smaller than atoms would get you to subatomic particles such as quarks. From there, it is impossible to distinguish elements. So, yes, atoms are the smallest portions of an element that retains the original characteristic of the element.

A point charge q1q1 is held stationary at the origin. A second charge q2q2 is placed at point aa, and the electric potential ene
Yuri [45]

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

            U_{a} = 5.4 \times 10^{-8} J

        W_{/text{a to b}} = -1.9 \times 10^{-8} J

        Electric potential energy (U_{b}) = ?

Formula to calculate electric potential energy is as follows.

            U_{b} = U_{a} - W_{/text{a to b}}

                        = 5.4 \times 10^{-8} J - (-1.9 \times 10^{-8} J)

                        = 7.3 \times 10^{-8} J

Thus, we can conclude that the electric potential energy of the pair of charges when the second charge is at point b is 7.3 \times 10^{-8} J.

Jason walks 20 m East, turns around and 20 m West, Finally, he walks 10 rn North. This takes 20 s. what is Jason's velocity​
serious [3.7K]

Answer:

0.5 m/s north

Explanation:

Take east to be +x, west to be -x, north to be +y, and south to be -y.

His displacement in the x direction is:

x = 20 m − 20 m = 0 m

His displacement in the y direction is:

y = 10 m

His total displacement is therefore 10 m north.

His velocity is equal to displacement divided by time.

v = 10 m north / 20 s

v = 0.5 m/s north

A Boeing 747 ""Jumbo Jet"" has a length of 59.7 m. The runway on which the plane lands intersects another runway. The width of t
Reika [66]

Answer:

1.7 seconds

Explanation:

To clear the intersection, the total distance to be covered = 59.7 + 25 =84.7m

first we need to find the initial speed to just enter the intersection by using the third equation of motion

v^2 - u^2 = 2*a*s

45^2 - u^2 = 2 * -5.7 * 84.7

u^2 = 45^2 +965.58

u^2 = 2990.58

u = 54.7 m/s

Now for time we apply the first equation of motion

v-u =a * t

t = (v-u)/a = (45 - 54.7)/-5.7 = 1.7seconds
