Assoli18 [71]1 year ago

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.

Answer:

\pi 1 = \frac{h}{l}

\pi 2 = б / l^2gp

\frac{h}{l} = Ф ( б / l^2gp )

Explanation:

<u>Develop a suitable set of dimensionless parameters for this problem</u>

The set of dimensionless parameters for this problem is :

\pi 1 = \frac{h}{l}

\pi 2 = б / l^2gp

\frac{h}{l} = Ф ( б / l^2gp )

and they are using the pi theorem, MLT systems

A hollow sphere of inner radius 8.82 cm and outer radius 9.91 cm floats half-submerged in a liquid of density 948.00 kg/m^3. (a)
kari74 [83]

Answer:

a) 0.568 kg

b) 474 kg/m³

Explanation:

Given:

Inner radius = 8.82 cm = 0.0882 m

Outer radius = 9.91 cm = 0.0991 m

Density of the liquid = 948.00 Kg/m³

a) The volume of the sphere = \frac{4\pi}{3}\times(0.0991^2-0.0882^2)

or

volume of sphere = 0.0012 m³

also, volume of half sphere = \frac{\textup{Total volume}}{\textup{2}}

or

volume of half sphere = \frac{\textup{0.0012}}{\textup{2}}

or

Volume of half sphere =0.0006 m³

Now, from the Archimedes principle

Mass of the sphere = Weight of the volume of object submerged

or

Mass of the sphere = 0.0006× 948.00 = 0.568 kg

b) Now, density =  \frac{\textup{Mass}}{\textup{Volume}}

or

Density = \frac{\textup{0.568}}{\textup{0.0012}}

or

Density = 474 kg/m³
