Você é um comandante de uma espaçonave. Sua missão é chegar até Alfa Centauro em cinco anos. A distância do Sol até Alfa Centaur

Deffense [45]

Answer:

The spaceship will get to Alpha Centaur in time

Step-by-step explanation:

The complete question in English is

You're the commander of a spaceship. Your mission is to reach Alpha Centaur in five years. The distance from the sun to Alpha Centaur is 2.5 x 10^13 miles. The distance from Earth to Sun is approximately 9.3 x 10^7

miles. Your spaceship can travel at the speed of light. You know that light can travel a distance of 5.88 x 10^12 miles in a year. Can you get to Alpha Centaur in time?

step 1

Find the time it takes for the spaceship to travel from Earth to the Sun

The distance from the Earth to Sun is equal to

$9.3*10^7\ miles$

The spaceship can travel at the speed of light

The light can travel a distance of $5.88*10^{12}\ miles$ in a year

so

using a proportion

$\frac{5.88*10^{12}\ miles}{1\ year}=\frac{9.3*10^7\ miles}{x}\\\\x=(9.3*10^7)/5.88*10^{12}\\\\x=1.58*10^{-5} \ years$

This time is very small in years

Convert to minutes

$1.58*10^{-5} \ years=1.58*10^{-5} (365)(24)(60)=8.3\ min$

step 2

Find the time it takes for the spaceship to travel from the Sun to Alpha Centaur

The distance from the the Sun to Alpha Centaur is equal to

$2.5*10^{13}\ miles$

The spaceship can travel at the speed of light

The light can travel a distance of $5.88*10^{12}\ miles$ in a year

so

using a proportion

$\frac{5.88*10^{12}\ miles}{1\ year}=\frac{2.5*10^{13}\ miles}{x}\\\\x=(2.5*10^{13})/5.88*10^{12}\\\\x=4.25\ years$

$4.25\ years< 5\ years$

therefore

The spaceship will get to Alpha Centaur in time

For an angle θ, tan(θ) is a negative number. Which quadrants might θ be in?

Klio2033 [76]

So for this question, we're asked to find the quadrant in which the angle of data lies and were given to conditions were given. Sign of data is less than zero, and we're given that tangent of data is also less than zero. Now I have an acronym to remember which Trig functions air positive in each quadrant. . And in the first quadrant we have that all the trig functions are positive. In the second quadrant, we have that sign and co seeking are positive. And the third quadrant we have tangent and co tangent are positive. And in the final quadrant, Fourth Quadrant we have co sign and seeking are positive. So our first condition says the sign of data is less than zero. Of course, that means it's negative, so it cannot be quadrant one or quadrant two. It can't be those because here in Quadrant one, we have that all the trick functions air positive and the second quadrant we have that sign. If data is a positive, so we're between Squadron three and quadrant four now. The second condition says the tangent of data is also less than zero now in Quadrant three. We have that tangent of data is positive, so it cannot be quadrant three, so our r final answer is quadrant four, where co sign and seek in are positive.

Carlos has a string that is 24 inches long he wants to divide it into three equal parts write an equation to find how long each

katrin2010 [14]

Answer: 24 ÷ 3

Step-by-step explanation: You do 24÷3 because he has a string that is 24 inches long and if he wanted to divide it into 3 equal pieces . You would get 8 inches long for each piece (8x3) or (3x8)
