Based on the information in the question, a light year is the distance traveled light in one year. Then if the light from the star Centauri takes 4.2 years to reach the earth, then its distance from earth is 4.2 light years.
Answer:
a.18.5 m/s
b.1.98 s
Explanation:
We are given that

a.Let
be the initial velocity of the ball.
Distance,x=30 m
Height,h=1.8 m





Substitute the values





Initial velocity of the ball=18.5 m/s
b.Substitute the value then we get

t=1.98 s
Hence, the time for the ball to reach the target=1.98 s
A) 
The total energy of the system is equal to the maximum elastic potential energy, that is achieved when the displacement is equal to the amplitude (x=A):
(1)
where k is the spring constant.
The total energy, which is conserved, at any other point of the motion is the sum of elastic potential energy and kinetic energy:
(2)
where x is the displacement, m the mass, and v the speed.
We want to know the displacement x at which the elastic potential energy is 1/3 of the kinetic energy:

Using (2) we can rewrite this as

And using (1), we find

Substituting
into the last equation, we find the value of x:

B) 
In this case, the kinetic energy is 1/10 of the total energy:

Since we have

we can write

And so we find:

Do u know Chinese ?if yes I can explain to u easily
Hi there!
The answer would be B. the slope of the plane.
Changing the slope of the plane would show how fast the ball went when Galileo changed the steepness of the slope. If he didn’t change the slopes steepness he would have the same results each time.
Hope this helps !
