You are working for SETI, the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence. One day, you receive a radio communication from an alien intelligence. Although you cannot understand their language, they have included some photos from an I Love Lucy episode. The photos allow you to determine that it is the episode in which Lucy makes a television commercial on Vitameatavegamin. This episode first aired on CBS on May 5, 1952. Before running to your supervisor to tell him the news, you quickly determine how far away in light-years the alien civilization is. (Enter the maximum possible distance.) light-years

Solutions

Expert Solution

Time and date when signal was received was not given so take at end of 1st may 2020 for maximum distance.

the approximation of distance  not done when calculated in m for accuracy.

Approximation done at last step.

A store is about to close for the day, and you are the only one working there. The order is that you only close the store when all the clients are gone.

If it is a hot day and the swamp cooler isn't working, if one were to open their refrigerator door to cool the house down, would it work? Please give an explanation that pertains to thermodynamics. In hot and humid areas, swamp coolers don’t work. Those places use heat pumps and dump the heat into pipes that are buried in the ground. Underground, the temperature is considered constant all year, assume 55 °F. What will be the improvement in terms...
