Answer:

The expected year is 2017.

Explanation:

Total years that the millionaire to live = 15 years

Travel away from the earth at  = 0.8 c

This is a time dilation problem so if she travels at 0.8 c then her time will pass at slower. Below is the following calculation:

T = \frac{T_o}{ \sqrt{1-\frac{V^2}{c^2}}} \\T = \frac{15}{ \sqrt{1-\frac{0.8^2}{c^2}}} \\T = 25 years

Thus the doctors are expecting to celebrate in the year, 1992 + 25 = 2017

You happen to know that the coefficient of static friction between your patio table and the ground is 0.42. You decide you want
Deffense [45]

Answer:

If the force applied is larger than 185.2 N, yes.

Explanation:

In order to move the table, the pushing force must be larger than the frictional force. The frictional force is given by:

F_f = \mu mg

where

\mu=0.42 is the coefficient of static friction

m=45 kg is the mass of the table

g=9.8 m/s^2 is the gravitational acceleration

Substituting,

F_f=(0.42)(45 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)=185.2 N

So, we are able to move the table if we push with a force larger than 185.2 N.

What happens when a star exhausts its core hydrogen supply?
Allushta [10]

Answer:

It becomes a giant or supergiant.

Explanation:

Once all the hydrogen supply is gone, fusion of hydrogen into helium stops. The core starts to contract and liberates energy, which heats the superior layer until it becomes hot enough to start the fusion of hydrogen into helium.

If Scoobie could drive a Jetson's flying car at a constant speed of 450.0 km/hr across oceans and space, approximately how long
vladimir2022 [97]

Answer:

The value is t = 3.6 \  days

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The speed is v  =  450.0 km/h

The radius of the earth is R =  6200 \  km

Generally the circumfernce of the earth is mathematically evaluated as

C =  2\pi  R

=> C =   2 * 3.142 *   6200

=> C =  38960.8 \ km

Generally the time taken is mathematically represented as

t =  \frac{38960.8}{450.0}

         t = 86.6 \  hr

Converting to days

         t = \frac{86.6}{24}

=>       t = 3.6 \  days
