If you wanted to detect x rays coming from the sun, where would you place the detector? Why?

You would have to place your sensor above earth's atmosphere because it blocks out nearly all x-rays. this is why we have the Chandra observatory

hope this helps

If you wanted to detect X-rays coming from the sun, the detector would have to be placed in orbit around Earth since most X-rays are absorbed the atmosphere.

Hope this helped :)

Answer:

The order of magnitude of the distance from the sun to Earth is 10⁸ km.

Explanation:

The order of magnitude of the distance from the sun to Earth can be calculated as follows:

$c = \frac{x}{t}$

Where:

c: is the speed of light = 3x10⁸ m/s

t: is the time = 8 min

Hence, the distance is:

$x = c*t = 3 \cdot 10^{8} m/s*8 min*\frac{60 s}{1 min} = 1.44 \cdot 10^{11} m = 1.44 \cdot 10^{8} km$

Therefore, the order of magnitude of the distance from the sun to Earth is 10⁸ km.

I hope it helps you!

A ball is thrown vertically upwards from the edge of the cliff and hits the ground at the base of the cliff with a speed of 30 m

olya-2409 [2.1K]

To solve this problem we will apply the linear motion kinematic equations. From the definition of the final velocity, as the sum between the initial velocity and the product between the acceleration (gravity) by time, we will find the final velocity. From the second law of kinematics, we will find the vertical position traveled.

$v = v_0 -gt$
