Not sure what your question means but the nearest star is Alpha Centauri which is about 4.2 light years (ly) away.  This is roughly 4x10¹³ km away.  A billion is 10⁹ so this is 4x10⁴ larger than a billion.  I'd say the last one then...

A swimmer bounces almost straight up from a diving board and falls vertically feet first into a pool.she starts with a speed of
garik1379 [7]

Answer:

a) 1.20227 seconds

b) 0.98674 m

c) 7.3942875 m/s

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity = 4.4 m/s

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

v=u+at\\\Rightarrow 0=4.4-9.81\times t\\\Rightarrow \frac{-4.4}{-9.81}=t\\\Rightarrow t=0.44852\ s

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow s=4.4\times 0.44852+\frac{1}{2}\times -9.81\times 0.44852^2\\\Rightarrow s=0.98674\ m

b) Her highest height above the board is 0.98674 m

Total height she would fall is 0.98674+1.8 = 2.78674 m

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow 2.78674=0t+\frac{1}{2}\times 9.81\times t^2\\\Rightarrow t=\sqrt{\frac{2.78674\times 2}{9.81}}\\\Rightarrow t=0.75375\ s

a) Her feet are in the air for 0.75375+0.44852 = 1.20227 seconds

v=u+at\\\Rightarrow v=0+9.81\times 0.75375\\\Rightarrow v=7.3942875\ m/s

c) Her velocity when her feet hit the water is 7.3942875 m/s

A 221 g cart starts from rest and rolls in the right direction (positive) down an incline. The incline is at a height of 5 cm. A
Julli [10]

Answer:

1) p₀ = 0.219 kg m / s, p = 0, 2)  Δp = -0.219 kg m / s, 3) 100%

Explanation:

For the first part, which is speed just before the crash, we can use energy conservation

Initial. Highest point

            Em₀ = U = mg y

Final. Low point just before the crash

           Emf = K = ½ m v²

          Em₀ = Emf

          m g y = ½ m v²

           v = √ 2 g y

Let's calculate

           v = √ (2 9.8 0.05)

           v = 0.99 m / s

1) the moment before the crash is

           p₀ = m v

           p₀ = 0.221 0.99

           p₀ = 0.219 kg m / s

After the collision, the car's speed is zero, so its moment is zero.

           p = 0

2) change of momentum

           Δp = p - p₀

            Δp = 0- 0.219

            Δp = -0.219 kg m / s

3) the reason is

     Δp / p = 1

In percentage form it is 100%

The distance, x, covered by a particle in time, t, is given as x=a +bc+ct^2 +dt^3
Sav [38]

Answer:

a has units of distance

b  has units of distance over time

c  has units of distance over time^2

d has units of distance over time^3

Explanation:

Since the expression for the distance is:

x = a+b\,t+c\,t^2+d\,t^3

then:

a has units of distance

b  has units of distance over time

c  has units of distance over time^2

d has units of distance over time^3

because we are supposed to be able to add all of the terms and get a distance.  So the products on each term that contains factors of time (t) should be cancelling those time units with units in the denominator of the multiplicative constant s that accompany them.

In your own words, answer the following 3 questions about an object experiencing red shift? 1. Describe the motion of an object
german

1.  When an object is moving away from us, the light from the object is known as redshift, and when an object is moving towards us, the light from the object is known as blueshift.

2.  A wavelength increases in size, and its frequency, and energy decrease.

3.  The frequency of a wave increases, and its wavelength decreases.

Redshift is an important term for astronomers. The term can be taken literally. The wavelengths of light are stretched and perceived as shifting toward the red portion of the spectrum. The same thing happens to sound waves when the source moves relative to the observer.

As the wave frequency decreases, the wavelength increases as long as the wave velocity remains constant. If the wave speed stays the same as the frequency decreases, it means that fewer wave peaks or troughs pass through a given point in a given time period. The number of complete wavelengths in a given unit of time is called frequency. Frequency and energy decrease with increasing wavelength.
