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

1 answer:

3 0

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.

Which of the following statements about price elasticity of demand is true?

STatiana [176]

Answer:

B. The elastic portion of a straight-line, downward-sloping demand curve corresponds to the segment above the midpoint.

Explanation:

Elasticity measures the sensitivity of one variable to another. Specifically it is a figure that indicates the percentage variation that a variable will experience in response to a variation of another one percent.

The elasticity of demand measures the reaction of demand when one of the factors that affects it varies.

Elasticity - Price of demand.

easure the sensitivity of the quantity demanded to price variations. It indicates the percentage variation that the quantity demanded of a good will experience if its price rises by 1 percent.

Elastic Demand

The demand quantity is relatively sensitive to price variations, so the total expenditure on the product decreases when the price rises, the price elasticity takes value greater than -∞ but less than -1
