Two astronauts are 2.00 m apart in their spaceship. One speaks to the other. The conversation is transmitted to earth via electr

omagnetic waves. The time it takes for sound waves to travel at 354 m/s through the air between the astronauts equals the time it takes for the electromagnetic waves to travel to the earth. How far away from the earth is the spaceship?

Answer:

D=1693742.7m

Explanation:

For sound waves we have v=d/t where v is the speed of sound and d the distance between the astronauts, while for electromagnetic waves we have c=D/t where c is the speed of light and D the distance between the spaceship and Earth. <em>We have written both times as the same</em> because is what is imposed by the problem, so we have t=d/v=D/c, which means:

D=\frac{dc}{v}

And for our values:

D=\frac{(2m)(299792458m/s)}{354m/s}=1693742.7m

<span>The absolute magnitude of a star is how bright it would appear to us
if it were located ten parsecs (about 32.6 light years) from us.  So it's
a way of treating all stars equally ... on a "level playing field" ... and it
describes each star's actual brightness. </span>

Operators must slow to no wake speed when within what distance of a u.s. naval vessel?
Alex Ar [27]
Recreational boaters have a role in keeping the waterways safe and secure. Violators of the restrictions can expect a quick and severe response. The operator should not approach within yards and slow to minimum speed within 500 yards of any of united states naval vessel. If the vessel need to pass within 100 yards of a united states naval vessel for safe passage, must contact the united states naval vessel or the united states coast guard escort vessel on VHF-FM channel 16. In addition,

• The operator must perceive and avoid all security areas.

• Avoid commercial port operation areas particularly those that include military cruise line or petroleum amenities. 

• The operator must perceive and avoid other controlled areas near dams, power plants, etc. 

• The operator of the vessel must not discontinue or anchor underneath bridges or in the channel.
