Aremote internet web page may sometimes reach your computer by going through a geostationary satellite orbiting approximately 3.6 × 107 m above earth's surface. what is the minimum delay in seconds that the web page takes to reach your computer?

0.24 seconds

Explanation:

The signal will reach the computer at light speed =

Distance between the satellite and the computer =

Since, the bodies have no acceleration relative to each other we use the following formula

Time = Distance / Time

One way delay would be at least 0.12 seconds.

But when you click on a link to open a website this signal has to be first sent to the satellite then the satellite would have to send the required signal back to the computer.

Hence, the minimum time delay would be 0.12+0.12 = 0.24 seconds

double the distance = divide strength by 4

when two balls of the different masses are dropped from equal height, they reach the ground at the same time .this is because they experience the same acceleration.

the acceleration is independent of mass.

thus when they are dropped they will always maintain the same velocity and travel the same distance (neglect air resistance of course) at the same time.
