Answer:

Correct Answer: B.

Explanation:

Earth is nearest the Sun in January and farthest away in July. Explanation: According to Kepler's Second Law, a planet travels fastest when it is nearest its sun. This means that Earth is actually closest to the Sun in January, when it is winter in the northern hemisphere!

adoni [48]

Answer:

Distance = 3.69 × 10^9 m

The distance from the probe to Earth is 3.69 × 10^9 m

Explanation:

Distance from the probe to the Earth can be derived using the simple motion formula;

Distance = speed × time .....1

Since a radio signal uses an electromagnetic wave to transfer signal, it has the same speed as the speed of light.

Speed of radio signal = speed of light = 3.0 × 10^8 m/s

time taken to reach the earth = 12.3 seconds

Substituting the values of speed and time into equation 1;

Distance = 3.0 × 10^8 m/s × 12.3 s

Distance = 36.9 × 10^8 m

Distance = 3.69 × 10^9 m

Note: all electromagnetic radiation have the same speed which is equal to 3.0 × 10^8 m/s

During a race, a runner runs at a speed of 6 m/s. 2 seconds later, she is running at a speed of 10 m/s. What is the runner’s acc

Lapatulllka [165]

Let's calculate the average acceleration. It is the rate of changing speeds. Hence, we need to calculate the difference of speeds. 10-6=4 m/s. The rate is now $\frac{4m/s}{2s} =2m/s^2$ .
In general, the formula for the mean acceleration between two times 1 and 2 is given by:
$\frac{u_2-u_1}{T}$ where v1 and v2 are the speeds at the respective points and T is the time interval between them.
