Answer: The Sun is 93 million miles away, so sunlight takes 8 and 1/3 minutes to get to us.


Light from the Sun takes about 5 and 1/2 hours to reach it and roughly the same time to return to Earth. By the time the light reaches us, it has spread out so much that the planet looks very dim, and requires a good telescope to spot. Photo of Pluto and its moon Charon, as seen with the Hubble Space Telescope in 1994.

Sunlight travels at the speed of light. Photons emitted from the surface of the Sun need to travel across the vacuum of space to reach our eyes. The short answer is that it takes sunlight an average of 8 minutes and 20 seconds to travel from the Sun to the Earth

Answer: 8.3 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

The time t may be obtained using the speed distance equation s=d/t. Rearranged to solve for time it would be: t=s/v, where s is the distance between the Sun and Earth and v is the speed of light.

$12,800 15% is taken out what's the answer
Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:

$10,880

Step-by-step explanation:

15% = 15 ÷ 100 = 0.15

So 15% of 12800 = 0.15 x 12800 = 1920

Therefore, 12800 - 1920 = 10880

OR

12800 x (1 - 0.15) = 10880

A baby bird jumps from a tree branch and flutters to the ground. The function "f" models the bird's height (in meters) above the
AURORKA [14]

The answer to this question will depend on the function f itself. Basically you will find the height in meters above the ground of the bird when it jumped when the time t=0s. This is substsitute every t in the function for a value of zero and that way you will get the bird's height at the time it jumped. If you were given a graph for this function, you can find the y-intercept of the graph and that will be the answer as well. The question could be written like this:

A baby bird jumps from a tree branch and flutters to the ground. The function "f(t)-4.9t^{2}+25" models the bird's height (in meters) above the ground as a function of time (in seconds) after jumping. What is bird's height above the ground when it jumped.

Answer:

25m

Step-by-step explanation:

Once your function is given, you can substitute t=0 since 0s is the time measured at the moment the bird jumped. So our function will be:

f(0)=-4.9(0)^2+25

f(0)=25m

So the height of the bird above the ground when it jumped is 25m in this particular function.
