We see a full moon by reflected sunlight. How much earlier did the light that enters our eye leave the sun? the earth-moon and e
Tju [1.3M]

The time taken by the light reflected from sun to reach on earth will be 8.4 minutes.

To find the answer, we need to know about the distance travelled by light.

<h3>How to find the time taken by the light reflected from sun to reach on earth?</h3>
  • So, in order to solve this problem, we must first know how far the moon is from Earth and how far the Sun is from the moon.
  • These distances are given as 3.8×10^5 km (Earth-Moon) and 1.5×10^8 km (Sun- Earth).
  • Since the Moon and Sun are on opposite sides of Earth during a full moon, the light's distance traveled equals,

         d=(1.5*10^8km)+2(3.8*10^5km)=1.51*10^8km=1.51*10^{11}m

  • As we know that light travels at a speed of 300,000 km per second. then, the time taken by the light reflected from sun to reach on earth will be,

                      t=\frac{1.51*10^{11}}{3*10^8}=503.33 s\\t=\frac{503.33}{60}=8.4min

Thus, the time it takes for the light from the Sun to reach Earth and be recognized as 8.4 minutes.

A body is placed on a rough inclined plane. Why does the frictional force decrease with the increase of angle of inclination
kondor19780726 [428]
The frictional force is directly proportional to the force that is perpendicular on the surface.

When the body is placed on a horizontal level with zero inclination, the only force acting on the body is the gravitational force which always pulls the body down. The gravitational force, in this case, is the perpendicular force to the surface. Accordingly, this entire force is used to generate friction

Now as the inclination of the surface increases, the gravitational force is no longer the perpendicular force of the body, its value decreases, which means only a part is used to generate frictional force. Consequently, frictional force decreases.

When the inclination reaches 90 degrees, the gravitational force does not act along the normal and accordingly, no friction force is generated.

In your own words, explain how the red shift in the spectrum of objects in space provide evidence for the Big Bang Theory.
kondaur [170]
The evidence that the universe is expanding comes with something called the red shift<span> of light. Light travels to Earth from other galaxies. As the light from that galaxy gets closer to Earth, the distance between Earth and the galaxy increases, which causes the wavelength of that light to get longer.</span>

A ferry is travelling at 10 m/s relative to the river towards the south. The river is flowing at 2 m/s relative to
mixer [17]

Answer:

11 m/s south

Explanation:

The velocity of the passenger relative to the river bank is equal to the velocity of the passenger relative to the ferry, plus the velocity of the ferry relative to the river, plus the velocity of the river relative to the river bank.

v_passenger,bank = v_passenger,ferry + v_ferry,river + v_river,bank

If we take north to be positive and south to be negative:

v = 1.0 m/s + (-10 m/s) + (-2 m/s)

v = -11 m/s

v = 11 m/s south
