Answer:

All electromagnetic radiation, of which radio waves and X-rays are examples, travels at the speed c in a vacuum. The only difference between the two is that the frequency of X-rays is very much higher than radio waves

Vikentia [17]

(a) 8927 mi/h

In order to calculate the average speed, we need to convert the time (t=5.0 y) into hours first. In 1 year, we have 365 days, each day consisting of 24 hours, so the time taken is:

t=(5.0 y)(365 d/y)(24 h/d)=43,800 h

The distance covered by the spacecraft is

d=391 mil. mi = 391\cdot 10^6 mi

Therefore, the average speed is just the ratio between the distance covered and the time taken:

v=\frac{d}{t}=\frac{391\cdot 10^6 mi}{43,800 h}=8,927 mi/h

(b) 35 minutes (2097 seconds)

The transmitted signals (which is a radio wave, which is an electromagnetic wave) travels back to the Earth at the speed of light:

c=3.0\cdot 10^8 m/s

Since 1 miles = 1609 metres, the distance covered  by the signal is

d=391\cdot 10^6 mi \cdot (1609 m/mi)=6.29\cdot 10^{11} m

So, the time taken by the signal will be

t=\frac{d}{v}=\frac{6.29\cdot 10^{11} m}{3.0\cdot 10^8 m/s}=2097 s

And since 1 minute = 60 sec, the time taken is

t=2097 s \cdot \frac{1}{60 s/min}\sim 35 min

Name one advantage and one disadvantage of the prepaid electricity system.​
Doss [256]

Answer:

The system prevents a consumer from accruing debt via electricity use, as it only allows the customer to use electricity which has been paid for upfront.

this gives the advantage of not allowing the consumer to rack up debt

the disadvantage for the consumer comes when they cannot afford to prepay in a time of financial difficulty - as the system now renders them as having no electricity as well as no money
