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

Answer:

THE ANSWER TERMS ARE DEFINED BLOW:-

Explanation:

MOMENTUM- IT IS THE ABILITY TO INCREASE OR DEVELOP CONSTANT FORCE.

KINETIC ENERGY:- IT IS THE ENERGY THAT A PRTICLE POSSES WHEN IT IS ACTUALLY IN MOTION.

POTENTIAL ENERGY:- IT IS THE ENERGY THAT A PARTICLE POSSES WHEN IT ACTUALLY IS IN RESTING STATE.

IN THIS ACIVITY THE SNOWBOARDER IS IN THE MOTION STATE THEREFORE HE POSSES KINETIC ENERGY AND TO MAINTAIN THAT KINEITC ENERG FOR A PERIOD OF TIME,MOMENTUM PLAYS IT'S ROLE.

A 0.0780 kg lemming runs off a 5.36 m high cliff at 4.84 m/s. what is its potential energy (PE) when it is 2.00 m above the grou
Colt1911 [192]

The potential energy of the lemming is 1.53 J

Explanation:

The potential energy (PE) of an object is the energy possessed by the object due to its position in the Earth's gravitational field, and it is given by:

PE=mgh

where:

m is the mass of the object

g=9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

h is the height of the object relative to the ground

In this problem:

m = 0.0780 kg is the mass of the lemming

We want to find the potential energy when the height is

h = 2.00 m

Therefore, we find:

PE=(0.0780)(9.8)(2.00)=1.53 J

A plane travels 350 km south along a straight path with an average velocity of 125 km/h to the south. The plane has a 30 minute
faust18 [17]
Average Velocity = Total Displacement / Total time

1st part of journey,  350 km at velocity 125 km/h

Time = 350 / 125 = 2.8 hours.

2nd part of journey,  220 km at velocity 115 km/h

Time = 220 / 115 = 1.9 hours


Average Velocity = Total Displacement / Total time

                               = (350 + 220) / (2.8 + 1.9)

                                =   570 / 4.7  ≈ 121.3 km/hr

Average Velocity ≈ 121 km/hr due south.
