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

An electric light is plugged into a 120-V outlet. If the current in the bulb is 0.50 A, how much electrical energy does the bulb
ioda

Answer:

= 54,000 Joules or 54 kJ

Explanation:

Electrical energy is given by the formula;

E = VIt; where V is the potential difference in volts, I is the current and t is the time in seconds.

Therefore;

Electrical energy = 120 V × 0.50 A × 15 ×60 seconds

                            = 54,000 Joules

Thus; the electrical energy is 54,000 joules or 54 kJ
