Answer:

300000 KM/Sec

Explanation:

Distance between the Earth and Planet Y = 20 LY

One light year is the distance traveled when traveling at the speed of light which 300000 KM/Sec.

Anna passed the Earth traveling at speed v. After reaching planet Y, she is 20 years older than when she passed Earth. That means she took 20 years to reach planet Y. This is only possible when she traveled with the speed of light

So the velocity v = 300000 KM/Sec.

A student leaving school travels 100 m East before he realizes he left his textbook in his locker. He heads back towards school,
andrew11 [14]

-- The overall <em>distance</em> he travels is (100m + 30m + 70m) = <em>200 meters</em>.

-- His <em>displacement </em>when he arrives at his front door is

D = (100m East) + (30m West) + (70m East)

D = (100m + 70m)East + (30m)West

D = (170m East) + (30m West)

<em>D = 140 meters East </em>

It's interesting to notice that his displacement is 60 meters shorter than the distance he walked.  

That's because there's a stretch of 30 meters somewhere in the middle that he actually covered <em>three times</em>.

Two of those times added to the distance his shoes covered (2x30m=60m), but they cancelled out of the displacement.

His front door is 140 meters East of school.  He walked 60m farther than that, going back and forth over the 30m piece.

What advantage does absolute-age dating have over relative-age dating? Explain
kramer
Relative age is the age of a rock layer (or the fossils it contains) compared to other layers. It can be determined by looking at the position of rock layers. Absolute age is the numeric age of a layer of rocks or fossils. Absolute age can be determined by using radiometric dating.
