In other words, it would take Deep Space 1 more than 81,000 years to travel the 4.24 light-years between Earth and Proxima Centauri at its top speed of 56,000 km/h. In relation to human history, that would be more than 2,700 generations.

Nearly 40 trillion kilometers, or 4.4 light-years, separate us from Alpha Centauri. The NASA-Germany Helios probes, the fastest spacecraft to date to be launched into orbit, flew at a speed of 250,000 kilometers per hour. The probes would need 18,000 years to travel at such pace to arrive at the sun's nearest neighbor. The calculations reveal that it is almost impossible to reach the nearest star in a human lifetime, even with the most futuristic technologies.

makvit [3.9K]
It would be 429 because in the question it said “ if she was swimming downstream of HALF of her maximum speed, how far will she swim for 13 minutes” so first you would divide 66 by 2 and get 33 then you would multiply 33 by 13 to get you’re answer.

Answer:

The correct answer is C

Explanation:

Change is momentum can be described as the change in the product of mass and velocity of a body. Every moving object as a momentum and the higher the momentum of this object, the harder it is to stop. Impulse (a force), which is sometimes used to describe change in momentum can be described as the product as force multiplied by time.

From the description above, it can be deduced that an increase in impulse can lead to a greater change in momentum. And an increase in impulse can be brought about by an increase in the time it takes a body to be brought to rest after collision. And since the car that hit the water barrels was brought to rest at a longer time, it has a greater change in momentum
