If Jim could drive a Jetson's flying car at a constant speed of 440 km/hr across oceans and space, approximately how long (in mi

llions of years, in 106 years) would he take to drive to a nearby star that is 12.0 light-years away? Use 9.461 × 1012 km/light-year and 8766 hours per year (365.25 days).

Answer:

t = 2.94 x 10⁶ years

Explanation:

The equation used in the case of constant speed is:

s = vt

t = s/v

where,

s = distance = 12 light years

s = (12 light years)(9.461 x 10¹² km/light year) =  113.532 x 10¹² km

v = speed = 440 km/hr

t = time passed = ?

Therefore,

t = (113.532 x 10¹² km)/(440 km/hr)

t = 2.58 x 10¹¹ hr

Now, converting it to years:

t = (2.58 x 10¹¹ hr)(1 year/8766 hr)

t = 2.94 x 10⁶ years

Two waves are superposed. one wave has an amplitude of 5 cm, and other has an amplitude of 4 cm. What is the resultant amplitude
Vsevolod [243]
If both waves have the same wavelength, then the amplitude of
their sum could be anything between 1 cm and 9 cm, depending
on the phase angle between them.

If the waves have different wavelengths, then the resultant is a beat
with an amplitude of 9 cm.

A homeowner uses a snowblower to clear his driveway. knowing that the snow is discharged at an average angle of 40° with the hor
Nesterboy [21]

given that snow is projected at an angle of 40 degree

It range is given as a = 19 ft

a = 19 * 0.3048 = 5.8 m

now we can use the formula of horizontal range

R = \frac{v_o^2 sin2\theta}{g}

5.8 =\frac{ v_o^2 sin(2*40)}{9.8}

5.8 = \frac{v_o^2 * sin80}{9.8}

v_o^2 = 57.7

v_o = 7.6 m/s

<u>so its initial speed must be 7.6 m/s</u>

. Strong language often means
san4es73 [151]
I would say that strong language typically reveals strong feelings: strong language would reveal desperation, or very strong feelings: weak feelings would not demand it, and would be more likely accompanied by more controlled behavior.

As a vector, displacement has which qualities? magnitude only, direction only, magnitude and direction, neither magnitude or dir
Vedmedyk [2.9K]
In physical science, there are two types of quantity: scalar and vector. While scalar quantities only include the magnitude, vector quantities include both the magnitude and the direction. Displacement is an example of vector quantities. Therefore, it includes magnitude and direction.
