Answer:

Stars are at large distances that even light takes thousands of years to reach us from there.

for example, alpha centauri is 4300 light years away from earth and it is considered the nearest star to us, this means that light from there takes 4300 years to reach us and with a spaceships that can move with the speed of light is would take us 4300 years to get there which is imposible to live for that long.

hence, it is difficult to move between the stars.

9. A 50 kg physics i student trudges from the 1st floor to the 3rd floor, going up a total height of 13 m.

SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

6370 J

Explanation:

By the law of energy conservation, the work done by the student would be the change in potential enegy from 1st floor to 3rd floor, or a change of 13 m

$W = E_p = mgh$

where m = 50kg is the mass of the student, g = 9.8 m/s2 is the gravitational constant and h = 13 m is the height difference

$W = 50*9.8*13 = 6370 J$

As mass increases what happens to the kinetic energy

AnnyKZ [126]

As mass increases kinetic energy also increases; kinetic energy is directly proportional to mass so whatever is done to either affects the other one the same. i hope this helps :)

anzhelika [568]

$\text{Power,}~ P = \dfrac{\text{Work done}}{\text{Time}}\\\\\\~~~~~~~~~~~~~=\dfrac{8 \times 1000~J}{4 \times 3600~ s}\\\\\\~~~~~~~~~~~~~~=\dfrac{80}{144}\\\\\\~~~~~~~~~~~~~~=0.56~ W$
