Answer:
It takes for the radio signal to travel from earth to the spaceship.
Explanation:
Given:
The frequency of the radio signal = hertz
Distance = meters
To Find:
The time taken for the radio signal to travel from the earth to the spaceship= ?
Solution:
we know that the time taken can be found by dividing the distance travelled by the speed at which the signal travels
So
Here the speed of the radio signal is equal the the speed of light
Now substituting the values,
Time taken is
=>
=>
=>
The time taken for the 2×10⁶ Hz radio signal to get to the spaceship from Earth is 243.33 s
Speed is the distance travelled per unit. Mathematically, it can be expressed as:
Speed = distance / time
speed = distance / time
3×10⁸ = 7.3×10¹⁰ / time
Cross multiply
3×10⁸ × time = 7.3×10¹⁰
Divide both sides by 3×10⁸
Time = 7.3×10¹⁰ / 3×10⁸
Time = 243.33 s

dropped from the bridge, how much time passes before the
object makes a splash?
Answer: 7.436 s
Explanation:
This situation is related to vertical motion, specifically free fall and can be modelled by the following equation:
Where:
is the final height of the object (when it makes splash)
is the initial height of the object
is the initial velocity of the object (it was dropped)
is the acceleration due gravity (directed downwards)
is the time since the objecct is dropped until it makes splash
