The answer is:

18 years.

The explanation:

when Star 1 is 34 light years from Earth and Star 2 is 52 light years from Earth. that means the distance between star 1 and star 2 is 52-34 = 18 years so, If Star 2 explodes as a supernova so, the explosion would take 18 years to be seen from a planet orbiting Star 1.

The picture below shows the position of Earth and two stars.Star 1 is 34 light years from Earth and Star 2 is 52 light years from Earth. If Star 2 explodes as a supernova, I believe that A. 18 light years would pass before the explosion is seen from a planet orbiting Star 1.
But I am not sure, sorry. :/

The superheroine Xanaxa, who has a mass of 68.1 kg , is pursuing the 75.3 kg archvillain Lexlax. She leaps from the ground to th

Alexandra [31]

The concept required to solve this problem is associated with potential energy. Recall that potential energy is defined as the product between mass, gravity, and change in height. Mathematically it can be described as

$U = mg\Delta h$

Here,

$\Delta h$ = Change in height

m = mass of super heroine

g = Acceleration due to gravity

The change in height will be,

$\Delta h = h_f - h_i$

The final position of the heroin is below the ground level,

$h_f = -16.1m$

The initial height will be the zero point of our system of reference,

$\Delta h = -16.1m-0m$

$\Delta h = -16.1m$

Replacing all this values we have,

$U = mg\Delta h$

$U = (68.1kg)(9.8m/s^2)(-16.1m)$

$U = -10744.81J$

Since the final position of the heroine is located below the ground, there will net loss of gravitational potential energy of 10744.81J

How does the height from which you drop the ball relate to the height that the ball bounces back up?

Stels [109]

The higher you go the more potential energy there is, and the lower it is the more kinetic energy there is, so the more kinetic energy there is the higher the ball will bounce.

A grandfather clock is "losing" time because its pendulum moves too slowly. Assume that the pendulum is a massive bob at the end

IgorC [24]

Answer:

d) shortening the string

Explanation:

Time period of a pendulum clock is dependent on two factors namely:length and acceleration due to gravity.

When a clock loses time, the time period of the pendulum clock increases.

This however can be corrected by decreasing the length of the pendulum.The time period of the pendulum clock is not dependent on the mass of the bob. The time period of the pendulum clock can be corrected only by changing the length of the pendulum string.

An 80.0 kg skier slides down a hill shaped as shown. Assume

umka21 [38]

The height above the ground from where the skier start is 11.5 m.

<h3>Conservation of energy</h3>

The height above the ground from where the skier start is determined by applying the principle of conservation of energy as shown below;

P.E = K.E

mgh = ¹/₂mv²

gh = ¹/₂v²

$h = \frac{v^2}{2g} \\\\h = \frac{15^2}{2 \times 9.8} \\\\h = 11.5 \ m$

Thus, the height above the ground from where the skier start is 11.5 m.
