The New Horizons probe that passed by Pluto during July 2015 is one of the fastest spacecraft ever assembled. It was moving at a

bout 14 km/s when it went by Pluto. If it maintained this speed, how long would it take New Horizons to reach the nearest star, Proxima Centauri, which is about 4.3 light-years away? (Note: It isn’t headed in that direction, but you can pretend that it is.)

Answer:

2.91 x 10¹² sec

Explanation:

d = distance of nearest star, Proxima Centauri  = 4.3 ly = 4.3 x 9.46 x 10¹⁵ m

v = speed of new horizon probe = 14 km/hr = 14000 m/s

t = time taken for the new horizon probe to reach nearest star, Proxima Centauri = ?

Using the equation

d = v t

Inserting the values given

4.3 x 9.46 x 10¹⁵ = (14000) t

t = 2.91 x 10¹² sec

Which object hawhich object has the most gravitational potential energy?
Sav [38]
Hi, we can do a comparisson. Recall that potential energy is defined as m*g*h where m is the mass in kg, g is gravitational acceleration (9.8m/s^2) and h is the height therefore:
A:B:C:D=30×g×1.5:20×g×2:30×g×2:20×g×1.5 since all of them have the term of g, we can "kill" the term hence we have that:
A:B:C:D=45:40:60:30  hence we know the option c has the most potential energy

You drop a 20 Ton object and a
Alborosie

Explanation:

it dosent depend on the weights of the items. I'll reach the ground at same time taking as no air friction or restrictions.

i.e

v = u + gt

whte v is final velocity of the object

u is initial velocity of the object

g is acceleration due to gravity and

t is time. thanks
