Answer:

42.11 years old

Explanation:

Given that:

In 2000, a 20-year-old astronaut left Earth to explore the galaxy; her spaceship travels at 2.5 x 10^8 m/s. She returns in 2040

To find her age we use:

\Delta t_m=\frac{\Delta t_s}{\sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2} } }\\

Δtm is  time interval for the observer stationary relative to the sequence of

events = 2040 - 2000 = 40 years

Δts is is the time interval for an observer moving with a speed v relative to the  sequence of event

v = velocity = 2.5 x 10^8 m/s

c = speed of light = 3 x 10^8 m/s

\Delta t_s=\Delta t_m}{\sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2} } }\\\Delta t_s=40\sqrt{1-\frac{(2.5*10^8)^2}{(3*10^8)^2}}\\\Delta t_s=22.11\ yr

Here age in 2000 is 20 year, therefore when she appear she would be 20 year + 22.11 year = 42.11 years old

1. Which of the following states would likely get hit by both hurricanes and tornadoes? (Points : 1)
bogdanovich [222]
I would have to say Texas because, obviously, its on the coast, and because I know for a fact Oklahoma is VERY prone to Tornadoes and I also know Dallas (and surrounding areas) has a few tornadoes a year:)

I hope I helped:)

Plz help with these 4
Airida [17]

Answer:

1) The human skeleton performs six major functions: support, movement, protection, production of blood cells, storage of minerals, and endocrine regulation. protection of internal organs

2) Joints are where two bones meet. They make the skeleton flexible — without them, movement would be impossible. Joints allow our bodies to move in many ways.

3)A joint is a point where two or more bones meet. There are three main types of joints; Fibrous (immovable), Cartilaginous (partially moveable) and the Synovial (freely moveable) joint

4)A ligament is a fibrous connective tissue which attaches bone to bone, and usually serves to hold structures together and keep them stable.

A space shuttle with a mass of approximately 7.08 E5 kg is sitting on the launch pad. What would be the weight of the space shut
Afina-wow [57]

The weight of the shuttle is 6.94\cdot 10^6 N

Explanation:

The weight of an object on Earth is the gravitational force exerted by the Earth on the object.

The magnitude of the weight of an object is given by:

W=mg

where

m is the mass of the object

g=9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity on Earth's surface

And the direction is downward (towards the Earth's centre).

For the shuttle in this problem, its mass is

m=7.08\cdot 10^5 kg

So, its weight is

W=(7.08\cdot 10^5)(9.8)=6.94\cdot 10^6 N

Note that while the mass of an object (m) does not change, its weight (W) changes according to the location, since the value of g can be different at different location (for example, on the Moon, the value of g is about 1/6 the value of g on the Earth).
