I think there's a typo because the answer I'm getting is very large.

This is what I'm getting

--------------------------------------

c = speed of light

c = 3.0 x 10^8 m/sec approximately

This is roughly 300 million meters per second

The time it takes the signal to reach the aircraft and come back is 1.4 x 10^3 seconds. Half of this time period is going one direction (say from the radar station to the aircraft), so (1.4 x 10^3)/2 = 7.0 x 10^2 seconds is spent going in this one direction.

distance = rate*time

d = r*t

d = (3.0 x 10^8) * (7.0 x 10^2)

d = (3.0*7.0) x (10^8*10^2)

d = 21.0 x 10^(8+2)

d = 21.0 x 10^10

d = (2.1 x 10^1) * 10^10

d = 2.1 x (10^1*10^10)

d = 2.1 x 10^11 meters

d = 210,000,000,000 meters (this is 210 billion meters; equivalent to roughly 130,487,950 miles)

The amount of work done by two boys who apply 200 N of force in an
Aleksandr [31]

The amount of work done by two boys who apply 200 N of force in an unsuccessful attempt to move a stalled car is 0.

Answer: Option B

<u>Explanation: </u>

Work done is the measure of work done by someone to push an object from its present position. We can also define work done as the amount of forces needed to move an object from its present position to another position. So the amount of work done is directly proportionate to the product of forces acting on the object and the displacement of the object.  

           \text { Work done }=\text { Force } \times \text { displacement }

So in this present case, as the two boys have done an unsuccessful attempts to push a stalled car so that means the displacement of the car is zero as there is no change in the position of the car. But they have applied a force of 200 N each. So the amount of work done will be

           \text { Work done }=200 \mathrm{N} \times 0=0

Thus, the amount of work done by two boys will be zero due to their unsuccessful attempt to move a stalled car.

Tresset [83]

If the energy transfer diagram created by Ray has error in it, it can be corrected by applying the principle of energy conservation.

<h3>What is energy diagram?</h3>

Energy diagram is sketch of the energy flow process or energy transfer or energy conversion process.

The law of energy conservation states that, energy can neither be created nor destroyed but can be converted from one form to another.

Thus, if the energy transfer diagram created by Ray has error in it, it can be corrected by applying the principle of energy conservation.
