NASA’s Tracking and Data Relay Satellite (TDRS) System constellation resides at geosynchronous orbit (35,000km) altitude. If a t

echnician at the Goddard Spaceflight Center in Maryland initiates a transmission to the Johnson Spaceflight Center in Houston over TDRS, how long will it be until JSC detects the transmission (one-way latency)? You may assume there is negligible processing delay on the satellite, and that c = 3x108 m/sec.

Answer:

35,000 km = 35,000,000 m = 3.5 E107 m

t = S / v = 3.5 * 10E7 / 3.0 E10E8 = .117 sec

States that Earth processes today are similar to those that took place in the past
Maslowich

Answer;

Uniformitarianism

Explanation;

-Uniformitarianism is the principle suggesting that Earth's geologic processes acted in the same manner and with essentially the same intensity in the past as they do in the present and that such uniformity is sufficient to account for all geologic change.  For example, at an active volcano we can observe lava cooling to form layers of basalt.

James Hutton suggested that deep soil profiles were formed by the weathering of bedrock over thousands of years. He also suggested that supernatural theories were not needed to explain the geologic history of the Earth.

A hair dryer uses 1200 watts of power. Current flow through
KonstantinChe [14]
The answer is: 120V

Power is the rate at which energy is supplied/transformed in time:
we can write:

V ddp in Volts represents Energy/Charge i.e. energy carried by each coulomb;

I current in Amperes represents Charge/time or coulombs passing each seconds.

combining them we have:

Power = energy/time = V • 1

or

1200 = V ⋅ 10
V = 1200/10 = 120V

If gravity on the earth increased, what affect would it have on the moon
Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

If gravity on Earth is increased, this gravitational tugging would have influenced the moon's rotation rate. If it was spinning more than once per orbit, Earth would pull at a slight angle against the moon's direction of rotation, slowing its spin. If the moon was spinning less than once per orbit, Earth would have pulled the other way, speeding its rotation.
