Suppose that you wanted to travel to the next closest star to Earth. Proxima Centauri is the closest star to our solar system at a distance of 4.3 light years (40,208,000,000,000 km). Knowing that the space shuttle’s typical speed is 28,000 km/hr, how long would it take you to get there?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

1 436 000 000 hrs     163 814 .7 years

Explanation:

40208000000000 km  / 28000 km/hr  =

Answer 2

The Space shuttle's speed is 28,000 km/hr, and the time it will take to get you there is 1436000000 hours or 163814.7 years.

What is Proxima Centauri?

Although Proxima Centauri cannot be seen normally with eyes, it is one of the most famous stars in the sky. This is because it is a member of the Alpha Centauri star system, which is the nearest stellar system to our sun and is home to three known stars.

Proxima, with a distance of 4.22 light-years from our sun, is thought to be the star in Alpha Centauri that is nearest to our sun of the three. For Proxima, astronomers have so far found two planets. It also produces large solar flares, and a strange radio signal may come from it.

According to the question :

The given distance is 4.3 light-years or,

Distance = 40,208,000,000,000 km

Given speed is 28,000 km/hr.

So the time it will take to get you up there is:  Distance/speed

Time = 40,208,000,000,000 km/28,000 km/hr

Time = 1436000000 hours or,

Time = 163814.7 years

Hence, the time taken to get you there will be 163814.7 years.

What is the door's moment of inertia for rotation about a vertical axis inside the door, 14 cm from one edge

Answers

The door's moment of inertia for rotation about a vertical axis inside the door, 14 cm from one edge is 4.205 kgm².

Momnet of inertia about a vertical axis inside the door

The door's moment of inertia for rotation about a vertical axis inside the door, 14 cm from one edge is calculated as follows;

[tex]I = I_{cm} + Md^2[/tex]

where;

I, cm is the moment of inertia about central axisd is the distance from the edgeM is mass of the door

[tex]d = \frac{L}{2} - 0.14\\\\d = \frac{0.91}{2} - 0.14\\\\d = 0.315 \ m[/tex]

Moment of inertia

[tex]I = \frac{1}{12} ML^2 + Md^2\\\\I = \frac{1}{12} (25)(0.91)^2 \ + \ (25)(0.315)^2\\\\I = 1.725 \ + \ 2.48\\\\I = 4.205 \ kgm^2[/tex]

Thus, the door's moment of inertia for rotation about a vertical axis inside the door, 14 cm from one edge is 4.205 kgm².

Starting from rest, a child zooms down a frictionless slide from an initial height of 3.00 m. What is her speed at
the bottom of the slide? Assume she has a mass of 25.0 kg

Answers

Answer:

About 7.67 m/s.

Explanation:

Mechanical energy is always conserved. Hence:

[tex]\displaystyle \begin{aligned} E_i & = E_f \\ \\ U_i + K_i &= U_f + K_f\end{aligned}[/tex]

Where U is potential energy and K is kinetic energy.

Let the bottom of the slide be where potential energy equals zero. As a result, the final potential energy is zero. Additionally, because the child starts from rest, the initial kinetic energy is zero. Thus:

[tex]\displaystyle U_i = K_f[/tex]

Substitute and solve for final velocity:
[tex]\displaystyle \begin{aligned} mgh_i &= \frac{1}{2}mv_f^2 \\ \\ 2gh_i &= v^2_f \\ \\ v_f &= \sqrt{2gh_i} \\ \\ & =\sqrt{2(9.8\text{ m/s$^2$})(3.00\text{ m})} \\ \\ & \approx 7.67\text{ m/s} \end{aligned}[/tex]

In conclusion, the child's speed at the bottom of the slide is about 7.67 m/s.

OB. A circuit that uses very little wire
O C. A circuit that conducts an electric current
D. A circuit that has little or no resistance

Answers

Answer:

A

An open circuit is a circuit where the path has been interrupted or "opened" at some point so that current will not flow. An open circuit is also called an incomplete circuit.

Answer: A

Explanation:

An open circuit is a circuit that has no current flowing through it. The reason no current can flow through is due to a significant disconnect between two points in the circuit. For example, a large portion of the wire is cut out.

I haven't done any circuit analysis yet, but current can still flow through a circuit even if there is a cut. But that cut has to be extremely small.

A rugby player sits on a scrum machine that weighs 200 Newtons. Given that the coefficient of static friction is 0.67, the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.56 and the force required to push both the scrum machine and the player into motion is 850 Newtons, calculate the following: a)      The mass of the player ( 4marks) b)      The magnitude of the force required to keep both the scrum machine and the player in motion?​

Answers

a. 850 N is the minimum force needed to get the machine/player system moving, which means this is the maximum magnitude of static friction between the system and the surface they stand on.

By Newton's second law, at the moment right before the system starts to move,

• net horizontal force

∑ F[h] = F[push] - F[s. friction] = 0

• net vertical force

∑ F[v] = F[normal] - F[weight] = 0

and we have

F[s. friction] = µ[s] F[normal]

It follows that

F[weight] = F[normal] = (850 N) / (0.67) = 1268.66 N

where F[weight] is the combined weight of the player and machine. We're given the machine's weight is 200 N, so the player weighs 1068.66 N and hence has a mass of

(1068.66 N) / g ≈ 110 kg

b. To keep the system moving at a constant speed, the second-law equations from part (a) change only slightly to

∑ F[h] = F[push] - F[k. friction] = 0

∑ F[v] = F[normal] - F[weight] = 0

so that

F[k. friction] = µ[k] F[normal] = 0.56 (1268.66 N) = 710.45 N

and so the minimum force needed to keep the system moving is

F[push] = 710.45 N ≈ 710 N

R^3 = 1 / (4 pi^2) * G M T^2        we need to know G and M

R^3 = .0253 * 6.67E-11 * 5.98E24 T^2 = 1.01E13 * T^2

63.3 da = 5.47E6 sec

T^2 = 2.99E13 sec^2

R^3 = 1.01E13 * 2.99E13 = 3.02E26 = 302E24 m^3

R = 6.70E8 m from center of earth

Using 1609 m/mile

A cyclist bikes with an average velocity of 20 m/s for 5 seconds.

What is the magnitude of the cyclist's displacement?
Your answer should have one significant figure.

Answers

Explanation:

v = s/t

20 = s/5

100 = s

s = 100 = 1 × 10².

When a cyclist bikes with an average velocity of 20 m/s for 5 seconds, the magnitude of the cyclist displacement would be 1×10² meters.

What is Velocity?

The total displacement covered by any object per unit of time is known as velocity. It depends on the magnitude as well as the direction of the moving object. The unit of velocity is meter/second. It can also be represented by the infinitesimal rate of change of displacement with respect to time. The generally considered unit for velocity is a meter per second.

The mathematical expression for velocity is given by the formula

velocity= total displacement/Total time

The area under the velocity-time graph represents the total displacement covered by the object while the slope of the velocity time graph represents the acceleration of the object.

For the given problem when a cyclist bikes with an average velocity of 20 m/s for 5 seconds,

Displacement =velocity×time

                       =20×5
