Answer:

B. It takes a ray of light 10.5 years to travel from Earth to Epsilon Eridani.

Explanation:

Light year is the unit of the distance between two points. It is defined as the distance traveled by light from one point to other for given interval of time.

So here if the distance is given as 10.5 light years then it means the distance between Earth and the given star is same as that the distance traveled by the light in 10.5 years.

So here we can say that distance is

d = 3\times 10^8 (10.5 \times 365\times 24 \times 3600)

d = 9.93 \times 10^{16} m

so here the correct answer will be

B. It takes a ray of light 10.5 years to travel from Earth to Epsilon Eridani.

<span>The correct answer is B. - It would take a ray of light 10.5 light years to travel from Earth to Epsilon Eridani, or vice-versa. Using our current technology it would take far longer than 21.0 years for a space ship from Earth to travel that far - I would have to guess many hundreds of years.</span>

Anna pushes a box with a force of 8.00 newtons. She generates a power of 3.00 watts. How much time does it take for Anna to move
QveST [7]
Power is the energy in a system per time.  It will have units of Watts which is equal to joules per second. It can be expressed as:

P = E / t

where E = Force x distance

P = Fd / t
t = Fd / P
t = 8 (9.72) / 3.0
t = 25.92 s

An object is moving in a straight line along the y axis. As a function of time, its position is given by the equation y=3.0+4.8x
romanna [79]

Answer:

Explanation:

<u>Instant Velocity and Acceleration </u>

Give the position of an object as a function of time y(x), the instant velocity can be obtained by

v(x)=y'(x)

Where y'(x) is the first derivative of y respect to time x. The instant acceleration is given by

a(x)=v'(x)=y''(x)

We are given the function for y

y(x)=3.0+4.8x +6.4x^2

Note we have changed the last term to be quadratic, so the question has more sense.

The velocity is

v(x)=y'(x)=4.8+12.8x

And the acceleration is a(x)=v'(x)=12.8

Temka [501]

Answer:3,600 Newtons

Explanation:

The net force acting on the car is

3×10^3squared

Newtons.

Force is defined as the product of the mass of the body and its aaceleration,⇒F=ma

Substituting the above given values we get,F=(1500kg) (2.0m /s^2 squared)=3000 N=3×10^3 squared N.

N=newtons
