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. :/

Which type of device enables its users to see around corners?
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

We can use optical fibers.

Explanation:

The optical fibers are the optical devices which is based on the total internal reflection.

The optical fiber has two layers, one is called core and the other is called cladding.

The refractive index of core is more than the cladding.

As a ray of light falls on the core at more than the critical angle for that pair of media(core and cladding), it suffers the total internal reflection at the interface.

Which would require the greater energy; slowing down of the orbital speed of the Earth so it crashes into the sun, or speeding u
tresset_1 [31]

Answer: Speeding up the orbital speed of earth so it escapes the sun require the greater energy.

Explanation: To find the answer, we need to know more about the Orbital and escape velocities.

<h3>What is Orbital and Escape velocity?</h3>
  • Orbital velocity can be defined as the minimum velocity required to put the satellite in its orbit around the earth.
  • The expression for orbital velocity near to the surface of earth will be,

                   V_o=\sqrt{gR}

  • Escape velocity can be defined as the minimum velocity with which a body must be projected from the surface of earth, so that it escapes from the gravitational field of earth.
  • The expression for orbital velocity will be,

                    V_e=\sqrt{2gR}

  • If we want to get into the sun, we want to slow down almost completely, so that your speed relative to the sun became almost zero.
  • We need about twice the raw speed to go to the sun than to leave the sun.

Thus, we can conclude that, the speeding up the orbital speed of earth so it escapes the sun require the greater energy.

26. The speed of light in a certain medium is
horrorfan [7]

The number we need in order to answer the question belongs in the space between the words "is" and "of".  You left that blank blank, so there really isn't any question here to answer.

HOWEVER ... the refractive index of a medium can never be less than 1.0 , so we know for sure that <em>choice-a can't be</em> the correct answer.

A block of mass 200g is oscillating on the end of a horizontal spring of spring constant 100 N/m and natural length 12 cm. When
malfutka [58]

In order to determine the acceleration of the block, use the following formula:

F=ma

Moreover, remind that for an object attached to a spring the magnitude of the force acting over a mass is given by:

F=kx

Then, you have:

ma=kx

by solving for a, you obtain:

a=\frac{kx}{m}

In this case, you have:

k: spring constant = 100N/m

m: mass of the block = 200g = 0.2kg

x: distance related to the equilibrium position = 14cm - 12cm = 2cm = 0.02m

Replace the previous values of the parameters into the expression for a:

a=\frac{(\frac{100N}{m})(0.02m)}{0.2\operatorname{kg}}=10\frac{m}{s^2}

Hence, the acceleration of the block is 10 m/s^2
