Answer:

  t = 8.33 minutes

Explanation:

given,

Speed of Light, v = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

distance between sun to Earth = 1.5 x 10¹¹ m

time taken to reach earth = ?

we know,

Distance = speed x time

t = \dfrac{d}{s}

t = \dfrac{1.5\times 10^{11}}{3\times 10^8}

      t = 500 s

1 min = 60 s

now, t = \dfrac{500}{60}\ minutes

          t = 8.33 minutes

time taken by the light to reach earth is equal to 8.33 minutes.

What appliances use electromagnets
Svetlanka [38]
Electromagnets are used in home appliances quite regularly and are used even in simple home appliances. Common home appliances that use electromagnets are toasters, printers, and microwave ovens. Electromagnets are a certain type of magnet that does not function unless an electrical current flows through it. These appliances create the magnetic field by flowing electricity through certain parts of the appliance.

A 25.0 g marble sliding to the right at 20.0 cm/s overtakes and collides elastically with a 10.0 g marble moving in the same dir
vovikov84 [41]
In collision that are categorized as elastic, the total kinetic energy of the system is preserved such that,

   KE1  = KE2

The kinetic energy of the system before the collision is solved below.

  KE1 = (0.5)(25)(20)² + (0.5)(10g)(15)²
  KE1 = 6125 g cm²/s²

This value should also be equal to KE2, which can be calculated using the conditions after the collision.

KE2 = 6125 g cm²/s² = (0.5)(10)(22.1)² + (0.5)(25)(x²)

The value of x from the equation is 17.16 cm/s.

Hence, the answer is 17.16 cm/s.

Scientists are constantly exploring the universe, looking for new planets that support life similar to the life on
Molodets [167]
The answer would be “B” because humans would need water, protection from radiation so we don’t melt or burn to death lol, and a gaseous atmosphere because we would need oxygen.
