On the Moon's surface, lunar astronauts placed a corner reflector, off which a laser beam is periodically reflected. The distanc

e to the Moon is calculated from the round-trip time. The Earth's atmosphere slows down light. Assume the distance to the Moon is precisely 3.84 × 10 8 m 3.84×108 m , and Earth's atmosphere (which varies in density with altitude) is equivalent to a layer 25.0 km 25.0 km thick with a constant index of refraction n = 1.000293 n=1.000293 . What is the difference in travel time for light that travels only through space to the moon and back and light that travels through the atmosphere and space? difference in travel time:

Answer:

The puck B remains at the point of collision.

Explanation:

This is an elastic collision, so both momentum and energy are conserved.

The mass of both pucks is m.

The velocity of puck B before the collision is vb.

The velocity of puck A and B after the collision is va' and vb', respectively.

Momentum before = momentum after

m vb = m vb' + m va'

vb = vb' + va'

Energy before = energy after

½ m vb² = ½ m vb'² + ½ m va'²

vb² = vb'² + va'²

Substituting:

(vb' + va')² = vb'² + va'²

vb'² + 2 va' vb' + va'² = vb'² + va'²

2 va' vb' = 0

va' vb' = 0

We know that va' isn't 0, so:

vb' = 0

The puck B remains at the point of collision.

A) gneiss

Explanation:

The likely rock that would be found here is gneiss.

A rock type that forms under a great deal of temperature and pressure is a metamorphic rock.

Such rocks would have their minerals crystallized when subjected to these extreme conditions.

  • Metamorphic rocks are changed rocks that are formed when minerals in rocks are subjected to extreme pressure and temperature before they start melting.
  • These rock type can form from either sedimentary or igneous rocks. In fact a metamorphic rock can also change into another one.
  • Examples of metamorphic rocks are gneiss, schist, hornfels, marble etc.

Halite, limestone and sandstone are examples of sedimentary rocks that forms by the accumulation of sediments or precipitation of ions form solutions.

A rocket moves through outer space at 11,000 m/s. At this rate, how much time would be required to travel the distance from Eart
Charra [1.4K]
11,000 m = 11 km

11 km/s over 380,000km

380,000 / 11 = 34545.4 seconds

34545.4 / 60 = 575.7 minutes
