0.017s

Explanation:

Given parameter

Distance = 5000km = 5 x 10⁶m

Unknown:

time taken = ?

Solution:

We use the normal speed equation to solve this problem as we take the speed of the wave to be 3 x 10⁸m/s.

   Speed = \frac{Distance }{Time taken}

   Inputting the parameters:

             Time taken = \frac{distance }{velocity of the wave}

  Time taken = \frac{ 5 000000}{3 00000000} = 0.017s

cricket20 [7]

Answer:

C.

Explanation:

Fahrenheit scale is a temperature scale that measures the boiling point of water at 212 degrees F and the freezing point at 32 degrees F. The Fahrenheit scale was developed by the German scientist Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit in 1724.

In the given scenario, the scientist, who wishes to measure the temperature of her experiment which will expectantly be colder than the point of water, should use the Fahrenheit scale.

So, the correct answer is option C.
