The approximate distance between mars and earth is about 1.34 × 108 miles. how many seconds would it take for tv pictures transmitted from the viking space vehicle on mars's surface to reach earth? enter your answer in scientific notation.

Time taken from transmission = 719.61 seconds or  11.99 minutes

Explanation:

Given data:

The distance between the mars and the earth = 1.34 × 10⁸ miles

Now, converting the distance into meters

1 mile = 1.61 km = 1610 m

thus, we have

1.34 × 10⁸ miles = 1610 × 1.34 × 10⁸ m = 2.1574 × 10¹¹ m

Now, the picture will travel with the speed of light i.e 2.998 × 10⁸ m/s

also,

Time = Distance/speed

thus we have,

Time taken from transmission = (2.1574 × 10¹¹ m)/(2.998 × 10⁸ m/s)

or

Time taken from transmission = 719.61 seconds or (719.61/60 = 11.99 minutes)

glen is correct.

step-by-step explanation:

glen is correct because when you multiply 4 * 2 = 8.

and 4 * 3 = 12.

note: the given question is incomplete.

complete question is given below.

which is an example of kinetic energy?

a. the energy stored in ethanol  

b. a hockey puck sliding across the ice  

c. a compressed spring  

d. a ball sitting at the top of a ramp

solution: the kinetic energy is the energy posses by the virtue of the motion of the object.

in the given options, a, c and d are the example of potential energy because it is the energy posses by the virtue of the rest of the object. but option b has the kinetic energy as the object is in motion.

hence, a hockey puck sliding across the ice   is the apex example of kinetic energy.

so, the option (b) a hockey puck sliding across the ice   is the correct option.
