a) 0.321 ly
b) 0.321 light years is not far in astronomical terms. Alien life would need to transmit at tremendous power in order for their radio transmissions to be detectable. Their radio signal also needs to be stronger than background noise in order to be distinguishable. Therefore it is unlikely that radio transmissions from alien life will ever be detected.
Answer: D) All of the above
Explanation:
Ok so this is simple projectile motion problem.
if we have an object falling in free fall it is subject to gravity of -9.80m/s^2
so it says it takes 6 sec to fall and we know initial velocity was zero so we know that h=vt+1/2gt^2 so we get h=0+1/2*9.80*6^2 = 176.4m
so solving for final speed we get KE=PE = 1/2mv^2=mgh = 1/2v^2=gh so
v=sqrt(2*g*h) = sqrt(2*9.8*176.4m) = 58.8m/s final speed when it hits the ground
hope this helps you! Thanks!!
Answer:
Explanation:
a )
If it is totally absorbed pressure is calculated as follows .
Pressure = I / c where I is intensity of light falling .
= 1000 / 3 x 10⁸
= 3.33 x 10⁻⁶ N / m²
b ) weight of tritium atom
= 3 x 1.67 x 10⁻²⁷ kg
acceleration = force / mass
= 3.33x 10⁻⁶ / 3 x 1.67 x 10⁻²⁷
= .6646 x 10²¹ m /s²
= 66.46 x 10¹⁹ m / s²
Answer:
Explanation:
Gravity pulls everything down at the same rate of 9.8 m/s/s. If you're looking for the normal force, which is the same as the weight of the object, we'll find that, just in case.
w = mg which says that the normal force/weight of an object is equal to its mass times the pull of gravity:
w = 4.0(9.8) so
w = 39N
