Answer:
According to the travellers, Alpha Centauri is <em>c) very slightly less than 4 light-years</em>
<em></em>
Explanation:
For a stationary observer, Alpha Centauri is 4 light-years away but for an observer who is travelling close to the speed of light, Alpha Centauri is <em>very slightly less than 4 light-years. </em>The following expression explains why:
v = d / t
where
- v is the speed of the spaceship
- d is the distance
- t is the time
Therefore,
d = v × t
d = (0.999 c)(4 light-years)
d = 3.996 light-years
This distance is<em> very slightly less than 4 light-years. </em>
A spring is an object that can be deformed by a force and then return to its original shape after the force is removed.
Springs come in a huge variety of different forms, but the simple metal coil spring is probably the most familiar. Springs are an essential part of almost all moderately complex mechanical devices; from ball-point pens to racing car engines.
There is nothing particularly magical about the shape of a coil spring that makes it behave like a spring. The 'springiness', or more correctly, the elasticity is a fundamental property of the wire that the spring is made from. A long straight metal wire also has the ability to ‘spring back’ following a stretching or twisting action. Winding the wire into a spring just allows us to exploit the properties of a long piece of wire in a small space. This is much more convenient for building mechanical devices.

Explanation:
not sure but if the box isn't moving then the force opposite of Polly would be equal to the force she's exerting.
