how many years would it take to reach the star from earth, as measured by observers on the spacecraft

Physics

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.

A girl weighing 50 kgf wears sandals of pencil heel of area of cross section 1 cm^2, stands on the floor.An elephant weighing 20
Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

\boxed{{\boxed{\blue{ 12.5}}}}

Explanation:

Given, for girl : Weight or force;

\rm \: F_1 = 50 \: kgf

Area of both heels;

\rm \: A_1 =  \; 2 ×1 \;  cm^2 = 2  \: cm^2

\rm \: Pressure \:  P_1  =  \cfrac{F_1}{ A_1 }  =  \dfrac{50 \: kgf}{2 \: cm {}^{2} }  = 25 \: kgf \: cm {}^{ - 1}

For elephant, Weight = Force \rm F_2 = 2000 kg•f

Area of 4 feet;

\rm \: A_2  = \; 4 \times 250 \;  cm^2 = 1000 \:  cm^2

\rm \: Pressure \:  P_2 = {F_2}/{A_2} \;  = \cfrac{2 \cancel{0 00 }\:  kgf}{1 \cancel{000} \: cm^2} =  2 \: kgf \: { \:cm}^{- 1}

Now;

\rm  = \dfrac{Pressure \:  Exerted  \: by  \: the \:  Girl}{Pressure  \: exerted  \: by \:  the  \: elephant}

=  \rm \: P_1/P_2

\implies    \rm\cfrac{25 \: kgf \: \: cm {}^{ - 2} }{2 \: kgf \: cm {}^{ - 2} } =  \rm\cfrac{25 \:  \cancel{kgf \: \: cm {}^{ - 2}} }{2 \: \cancel{ kgf \: cm {}^{ - 2}} } = \boxed{12.5}

Thus, the girl's pointed heel sandals exert 12.5 times more pressure P than the pressure P exerted by the elephant.

I aspire this helps!

The visible spectrum refers to the portion of the electromagnetic spectrum that we ________.
yKpoI14uk [10]
<h2>Answer: can see</h2>

Explanation:

The portion visible by the human eye of the electromagnetic spectrum is between 380 nm (violet-blue) and 780 nm (red) approximately.  Which  means this part of the spectrum is located between ultraviolet light and infrared light.  

Note the fact only part of the whole electromagnetic spectrum is visible to humans is because the receptors in our eyes are only sensitive to these wavelengths.

Therefore:

Mario rdoll a coin up a slope at 2 m/s. It travels 2.7 m, comes to a stop and rolls back down. What is the coin's acceleration?
leva [86]

The coin's acceleration is <u>0.37 m/s²</u>

Acceleration is the rate of change of the velocity of an item with appreciation to time. Accelerations are vector portions. The orientation of an item's acceleration is given by the orientation of the net pressure appearing on that object.

<u>Calculation:-</u>

<u />

V² = U -2aS

a = U/2S

  = 2/2×2.7

   =  <u>0.37 m/s²</u>

Acceleration is the charge at which velocity modifications with time, in terms of each speed and route. A factor or an object moving in a straight line is accelerated if it quickens or slows down. movement on a circle is extended despite the fact that the rate is consistent because the course is continually changing.
